TO BUILD LOCOMOTIVES.
Blg fIani 10 B, Established al Switzerland BY
American and European Capitalists.

Chicago. Sept. 5.-Angus Sinclair of
New York, proprietor of Locomotive
Engineering and for ten years the sec
retary of the Master Mechanics asso-
citation, who is visiting in Chicago, is
authority for the statement that as
soon as competent men can be secured
TO be placed at the head of 1t, gigantic
plant for the building of locomotives
and other rolling stock is to be estab-
lished in Switzerland by n company OF
American and European capitalists.
Mr.. Sinclair said:
AT the head of the company as pres
ident is George Burnham, president OF
the Baldwin locomotive works, and j.
S. Brill of the Brill company of Phila-
delphia as vice-president.
Il take IL that the building of this
plant simply means that the demand
for locomotives and rolling stock in Eu-
rope is much greater than the supply
and that the American locomotive
builders see an opportunity TO reap
large profits by utilizing American
methods and machinery with cheap
Swiss labor All OF the methods TO be
employed are distinctly American"
