gestions for the benefit of the engineers
as are consistent with the nature of the
machinery and the work.

the continuance of the prosperity of re-
cent years, in which the railroads have
participated to a large extent. This
yea has been one Of remarkably heavy

working overtime to fill orders that have
accumulated.
