the executive board of the strikers and
the assembly's official board. There
VIII be no speakers, unless this feature
Is decided on later, bu: the demonstra

favored the resolution to assess local
unions TO raise $4,000 for this purpose.
If necessary.

THE RAILROADS..

Upon tho shoulders of President Blick-
ensderfer will be laid the duties and re-
possibilities OF the management of the
Wheeling 6: Lake Erie railroad, says
the Toledo Blade He begins career
not unlike that OF President Newell
when the latter took charge of the
Lake Shore.
Inc extensive improvements which
were began under the receIvership vii,
be continued. Provisions Will be made
for the setting aside of money for this
purpose, and IL the plans outlined by
President Blickensd .rfcr and approved
by the owners, are carried out, in phys
ical condition the Wheeling & Lake
Erie will take a place In the front rank
OF North and South roads. President
Blickensdcrfer, like President Newell,
has great faith in the virtue OF physical
Improvements. He believes that the
company which spends money Judi
cio"sly in bringing It's property up 10 a
splendid physical condition, is surer of
prohtabi. returns than the sower who
goes forth to SER. In railroad manage
ment there Is very little thorny ground
for the seed to fal, upon. md certainly
the Wheeling & Lake Erie will prove
to be I fertile field

quilted to guide the destiny of tho

prominently dentified withthe CONSTITUTE
ton nnG rebuilding OF some Of the larg-
est railroads in the country. His
achievement in Widening the gauge OF
the Oregon Short Line frcm Pacatelln
to Butte. Mont, is looked upon as one
OF the most notable engineering fcais
Of the times. a great many changes in
alignment were made. more especially In
the seven miles from Beaver Canon,
Idaho, to the summit OF the Rocky
Mountaia district, In which the grade
was reduced from 1G5 feet per mile to
125, and 800 degree curvature taken
out of the line. After ail the prcpara-
lions had been made. the widening OF
the gauge was completed in seven and
a half hours.
Several engineering trade papers have
published lengthy articles on the eS-
plot. making some very compliment
nry comments on the manner in which
President Bl!okcnsdcrfcr executed the
work.
