luckily. was twenty minutes late, pulled
in, told my tale of woe 10 the crew, and it
was agreed that nothing should be said
about it. No one ever knew of this Incl
dent, except old man Hardy who will be
remembered by some men in this conven-
ton | told hin: my story when I got back

said:

smash-up. You are too lucky"
"But those things are changed now; men
do not as a rule, have to respond to every
beck and call OF a train dispatcher, or di-
vision superintendent The limit of human
forbearance has been discovered by rail-
road officers, and men are treated like
men, not like serfs nowadays"
