ment Ever Accomplished.

Chicago. June 10-Last month was
an important one with the railroad la
Dor organizations. Three big conven-
lions We're held in as many sections of
America, and the eyes of the Iaboring
men of the United States, Canada and
Mexico We're upon the assemblages.T The
conventions referred to were those of
the o. r. T, the o. R. c. and the B. of
r. T
The telegraphers met in Peoria, Ill,
the city in which the headquarters of
that order are located
The conductors met at Los Angeles,
Cal, and the trainmen assembled at
Toronto, Canada. All of the gather
ings were largely attended The most
noteworthy fact in connection with the
several conventions is that with one
accord all of the orders declared I'M
equivOcally in favor of establishing in
ternational and complete federation
with one another
This action was taken after years Of
discussion of the matter and its &C
cOmplishment will be a realization of
the dreams of the labor men for years
and years.
The Importance of the movement can
be appreciated when it is stated that
by the declaration of several conVen-
tiOns the orders represented by each
will work in unison and as one grand
organized body in future.
And the three classes Of railroad labor
mentioned will be aided by the B. of L.
F. The latter organization put itself
on record as favOring international fed
Grafton at its convention of last year,
held in Galveston, Tex, taking the mi
tiative in the matter. 1t unfurIed the
banner of federation around which the
telegraphers, the conductors and the
trainmen have now rallied and the four
organizations will stand as a unit when
the occasion demands. The federation
will doubtless be Endorsed by the B. of
L. z. at it's next convention. the latter
organization not having held a session
since the starting of the federation
movement.
With the latter organization in line
the railroad men will then present
solid front and the five great orders
will be the strongest body of railroad
men ever formed. The several conven-
tions authorized the appointment of
committees to meet with similar COM
mittees from other orders to formulate
and adopt a plan of international fed
Grafton and such committees will soon
be appointed by the grand chiefs of the
several organizations.
The members of the orders have &c
clared themselves in favor of the fed
Grafton and affiliation system and the
committees acting jointly will put into
effect the necessary laws governing the
proposed federation.

green and red. The marvel was that
these men had driven engines for many
years without accident when, at night,
the lamp signals were absolutely mean
ingleSS to them.
In any case 1t was not a matter to be
decided by the opinion of engineers
were vitality interested, and they took
with the result that a bill was prepared
to be introduced into the legislature
providing for a uniform code of white
signals. The bill did not appear at the
last session of the legislature, but there
is no question that it was drafted in
many forms for the consideration of
members of the New York state gov
eminent. The purpose of the measure
that is expected to go through the leg
islature when it meets again is to ar
range a code of signals that shall not
depend on the color of the lamps at all.
White lights will outline geOmetrical
fgures-SquareS, triangles, crosses, cir
Giles and straight lines, horizontal and
vertical The man who can see Sema-
phOre arm in daylight will be able to
make out the figures marked against
the darkness in white lamps, and 1t
should be impossible for any trainman
to misunderstood them.
POSITIONS BETTER THAN COLORS
Engineers say that the general use of
semaphOres by daylight is proof that
position signals are better than coIors,
and they maintain that the semaphOre
blade or arm can be manipulated as
well with the lamps as without them.

SANTA FE's STEEL DAM.
Brief History of the Inventor and
What He Claims for 1t.

At work at table in the office of the
chief engineer of the Santa Fe in this
city is a modest appearing young man
whose efforts may result in the mater
ial development of the arid regions OF
the west. His name is Francis H.Ba1n-
bridge a civil engineer by profession,
and his address is the New York Life
building in Chicago.
Mr.. cambridge is at present working
on plans for a steel dam to be built
during the summer across a mountain
canon in the vicinity of Ash Fork, Ariz.
The dam will be built in connection
with reservoir for railroad purposes,
and will practically be the only steel
dam ever constructed in the United
States. If Mr.. Bainbridge's surmises
are correct, its construction will open
a new era for the arid portions of the
west.
For several years there has been con-
siderable talk among civil engineers on
the advisability of substituting steel
for masonry in the construction of
DAMS and four years ago the young
civil engineer took the idea up and
started to systema tically work it out.
After the greater portion of his time for
three years he succeeded in working out
a practical method of constructing
dams of steel in detail, and applied for
a patent on his method. This he secur-
ed and the dam now being planned for
the Santa Fe is to be his first expert
ment.
Il do not claim that a steel dam will
last longer, OF probably as long, as
yesterday afternoon. THE chief point
about the steel dam is its cost. steel
dam can be constructed for at least
one-third the cost of a masonry, and
will last under ordinary circumstances
at least 20 years. In the arid regions
of the west where the water supply de-
ponds entirely on the rains once a year
and the snow from the mountains, dams
are absolute necessities Much more
water could be stored if there were res
ervoirs to hold it, but the cost of con-
structing substantial masonry dams has
always been a drawback"
AT the low cost that steel dams can
be constructed. more reservoirs can be
put in and the water supply immensely
Increased. In this way the arid pOr-
tiOns of the west can be developed, and
I believe in this way that part of the
country will be developed within the
next few years"
The reservoir in connection with the
new steel dam will be one-half mile
long. and win furnish water for use on
the Santa Fe. Prescott & Phoenix road,
q part of the Santa Fe system. If the
new dam proves q success a number of
similar dams will be constructed in
New Mexico, Arizona and California
