ANOTHER OPEN SWITCH.
Passenger Train No. g Again Strikes
an Open Switch. Engines
Badly Used Up.-No One Injur-
ed.-MOre Accidents of the Kind
ExpeCted.-NO Switch LiqhtS.


Expected.-No Switch Lights.
Saturday night at 9 O'Clock, passen.
ger train No. 9, due here at 80 yester-
day afternoon, struck an open switch
leading into the round house at Gila
Bend and collided with an engine
standing on the turntable. Engineer
Chas. F. Richardson was at the throt-
tie and he escaped injury. Conducto
Kingsley was in charge of the train and
he says that outside of q few hard
bumps all in the coaches escaped unin-
jured.
One woman tainted but was soon
brought to consciousness by the free
application of cold water.
The train was running at the rate OF
about ten miles an hour when the
engine struck the open switch and the
crash was q severe one. Both engines
were badly wrecked. The train was
Immediately taken back to the main
line and a new engine buckled on, and
it arrived here only an hour and twen-
ty five minutes late.
1t will be remembered that short
time ago the same train struck an open
switch a short ways west of Demtng
and Engineer O'Brien had his left
shoulder disocated. Following this a
few days the same train struck an open
switch east of here which resulted in q
bad wreck and the wrecking crew was
called from here to clear the track.
'sThe trouble of it u.s." said railroad
man yesterday "the Southern Pacific
engineers have no switch signals to in
dictate whether the switches are open
or closed, and it is great surprise to
me that trains are mot ditched every
night from this display of carelessness
on the part of the ,railroad company. Had
there been a light on that switch Sat
urday night this accident would not
have happened. The engineer could
have seen that the red ght was against
him and he could have stopped in plen-
ty of time to have saved the company
the expense thereby.
"Not only for the sake of the com
pany should these lights be placed on
the switches but for the sake of the
train men land the travelling public.
They ego tearing along Through the
darkness with load of human freight
and the engineer cannot tell whether
the switch is right or not until the
train has passed over it. This condi-
ton of affairs is dangerous to say the
least and it should be remedied as soon
a. possible

the new time card went into effect the

consequence of this all the mail that

Coming Back

Chas- Rokaher, who left Ell Paso
some time ago with the intention Of
making Kansas City his future home
writes to a friend in this city from
Joliet, III. to which place he went on
leaving Kansas City that he may be ex-
pected back in FL Paso by July 1st.
He writes that Ell Paso is good enough
for him and that he will be contented to
remain in the west after this.

COMPROMISE EFFECTED.
The Southern Pacific Firemen Have
Been Advanced in Wages.-The
Result of Hard Work on the Part
of the B. of L. F. Grievance
Committee-Not as Much as They
Asked For.

of the 3. of L. F. Grievance
Committeeman as Much as They
Asked For.
Several weeks ago the HERALD pub
lished the fact that the grievance COM
here to San Francisco and that tEelr
mission WAS to, if possible. secure q
raise in wages for the Southern Pacific
hremen The Grand Master
Sovereign also passed through
here to the headquarters OF
that line in San Francisco for
the purpose of aiding the grievance
committee in its work. 1t was then
known that battle royal was on and
every day the question was asked if
anything had been decided upon but
there was no news to give out. Weeks
passed and nothing new developed and
it was beginning to look as though
nothing ever would develop.
Saturday evening, however, john
ME Paul sent message here to the
effect that compromise had been ef-
fected and that it had been decided
that the passenger iremen were to re-
ceive So. 16 for every hundred miles
they make, while the freight firemen
were to receive $3.50 per 100 miles.
The rate asked for was So and So. so.
respectively and TIE rate at which
they we're paid prior to this raise was
81 So and 81 "a per 100 miles.
Several of the iremen were ques-
toned yesterday as regards the COM
promise and while they admitted that
it was not as much as they asked for,
they expressed themselves as being
satisfied. That the grievance commit
tee has worked hard 10 accomplish
their purpose is best evidenced by the
endurance they displayed. This raise
has been the result of several weeks
labor with the ''brass collars" at San
Francisco and the men who compose
the committee deserve great credit.
