great improvement.
The foreman and bosses of the shops are
much annoyed this spring by men looking
after work. Last Saturday young green
looking country boy applied at the machine
department for job. One of the mechan-
les set him to work carrying bars of steel,
weighing about $50 pounds piece, and
told him that every one who worked
in the shop had to undergo that operation
as a test for the eye sight. Another work
man of the same department set him
breaking up old iron with 80 pound sledge
hammer. After about four hours of this
hard labor he was sent to the Office with in
structions to fill out insurance blanks, but
upon applying at the Office for the blanks
he was handed some stock registration
blanks which he proceeded to fill out, but
before he had the blank filed to his en-
tire satisfaction, he evidently mistrusted
that he was being made the victim of q
practical joke. and when last seen was
boarding south bound freight for parts
unknown.
