department, he has this to look at when
he gets well-expenee sfor three months,
$4,000; doctors bill, $500; medicines
$3.50. Total, $4,000 which is a low es-
innate, and nothing due him. IT, on the
other hand, he is a member of the r. & H
department, he has neither doctors bill
nor medicines to pay for, and has 500
due him or already paid. Which is the
best? Does it admit of a question?
have explained our Insurance to several
OF the leading merchants In Montgomery,
and they all say 1t is a good insurance,
and we could not get any better Another
feature which is worthy of mention: If
the eye, ear, or throat is affected, we
have the best of Montgomery's special
lists to treat US without extra expense.
We have a good insurance. and it's sick
benefits help when a member needs it
most while ne is living, and benefits his
family when he as dead. You, also, have
a good insurance, but it benefits only his
family when he is dead. Mr.. Durham told
me two years ago, that If was carry
ing the B. of l.. E. Insurance by no means
to drop it, that he had no objection TO
the men being order men, that the insur-
ance was good and to keep it.
The Journal says: I'VE hope for the
sake of humanity, and in the interest of
justice, that Mr.. Durham is not well
pleased with his own success in putting
upon himself the task of assuming the
roll of thinker for his seven thousand
employees, and that the time will como
when he can rise to the height of liberal
thought, and so just a conception of other
rights" And in this hope I will say that
1 trust the Journal, or any one else, viii
not have cause to even mention one act of
Injustice of Mr.. Dunham's that will COM
pare with the act of injustice done by
brotherhood engineers on the s., F. &
nj. laANrN
ed at Mr. Durham. 1 think Mr.. Durham
must have attained that lofty hight hop
ed for him by the Journal to allow those
men to remain in his employ who would
be guilty of this act 1t must be for
the sake of humanity and not a sense
of Justice or conception of other rights,
especially his own, that he has retained
them. and while I will not mention names,
I hope and believe that this comment
will cause the blush of shame to tinge
their brows with such distinctness that
it would be plainly seen through their
smoke begrimmed faces, and We're l one
of the number, and my name were signed
for any amount of money, could rot
rest until due PREPARATION were made.
And let me say right here, that, had
known these men had compelled the S.. F.
&, w division of the Plant System to pay
them this money for work they did not do,
I would not have served on the commit
Tee The wrongs never did ana never Will
make right Those concerned know 20
what 1 refer, but as this may reach the
ewes of those who do not, will briefly
mention the act. Mileage from cambridge,
Ga. to townsville Ga, which was made
bv the Alabama Midland engineers and
for which they were paid, and because a
division was cut off at Thomasville and
their contract read to cambridge, Ga,
these engineers forced the s., F. q w.
division to pay them 5000 for work they
did.not do, and which any sense of justice
would have forbidden their asking An
old adage is 1.-The surest way to get rid OF
* bad law is to enforce it, and enforcing
a contract in the manner above mentioned
10 simply an illustration of the truth of
The adage T. Y. Hall, Engineer.
