RAILROAD MEN N THE SERVICE.
Many Enlisted During the War OF
the Rebellion.

While II Is not probable that tho ma
jority of railway companies will make
formal announcement OF the fact, the dis
position OF all is to put no obstacle in the
way of their men enlisting, but rather to
encourage it to the extent of agreeing TO
hold their places open for all who go into
the army and return honorably dis charged.
Every railway officer and manager ais
likes bitterly to lose old men whom lie
has learned TO trust, says the Railway Age.
and to have to fill their places with green
hands But when the Nation is at war 1t Is
no time TO consider individual preferences
or private interests.
In the war of the rebellion, there WIS
more than one railway in the Central and
Western States which had difficulty in
continuing operations, with such unanimity
had the employees responded 10 the pres-
dents call for troops. The story is told
how captain In a certain Wisconsin Tegi
ment asked his company If there was any
man in the ranks who had had experience
in either repairing or running a ocomo-
tive. and il so that man was to step for
ward. The entire company stepped for
ward with unbroken ranks,
The story Is probably not true, but it Il

officers, too, learned in days that tried the
very souls of officers and men Ike, that
there was no better material in the army
stauneher in battle or more enduring in
the hardships of campaigning than tn
men who came from the train crews ard
the track forces and from the railway
shops.
The need of troops now is less imnerious
ttn,,
there are no such stern times ahead of us
as the country had to face in the carly
sixties But we have no doubt that, in pro
portion to the emergency, railway men
will again bear their share of danger and
sacrifice for the oountrys sake. and it is
right that the companies and their off er5
should encourage and applaud them in so
