ORGANIZING RAILWAY BROTHER
HOOD ON A BROAD SCALE.
Agitating the Question of Getting
Better Service Ont of Cars-May
Adopt the Per Diem System.

Two years ago an association of railroad
men was organized in California 10 launch
a new organization intended TO combine
railroad employees of all classes into one
union. and to substitute diplomacy for
strikes in gaining concessions. 1t has Sc
cured quite hold the Southern PACING
system. and now efforts are being made TO
introduce it at prominent railroad centers
in the Western, the central and New
England territory. The scope of the
brotherhood is Of the broadest Every rail-
road employe, man or woman. who can
read and write and speak the English Ian
guage is eligible. One of the promoters OF
the organization says: I'VE take them
whether they belong TO another brother
hood or not, but at present our strongest
efforts are being made where there is the
least organization by other brotherhoods.
One of the main points in the brotherhood
is to effect greater union and bring peace
between employees and the company. The
strike order is very difficult TO make, ow-
ing TO the requirements before strike
can be ordered, although a strike clause
appears i'm the constitution. This clause,
however. forbids a strike before the broth
erhoOd has one million members, and re-
quires a two-thirds vote of the members
on the system in trouble The founders
OF the brotherhood claim that il already
has a membership of 1000.

System of District Nurses.

The question of establishing a system Of
district nurses was discussed at a meeting
of the Flower Mission held in Christ Church
yesterday. 1t was held to be important
that some plan should be devised by which
better nursing might be provided for the
sick poor than is now possible. Miss Ash
by, former superintendent of nurses at the
City Hospital Training School, took part in
the discussion.
The plan is TO procure two district nurses
as soon IS an arrangement can be made,
and to have five six assistants under
them. The latter would serve because of
feeling of philanthropy, as well as on ac-
count of the training they would receive.
The membership of the Flower Mission
has in the past been limited to 100, but il
has been decided to enlarge the member
ship. 1t is felt that the society and the
churches OF the city should work moro
closely together in caring for the sick poor.

FLOWER MISSIONS WORK.
Effort to Raise Money for an Incure-
bile Disease Home.

The Flower Mission committee having in
charge the collection OF the 5000 for the
building of the Home for Persons Afflicted
with Incurable Diseases announces that it
is the intention of the committee to ask
the cooperation of the city and county
officials in looking after the maintenance
of the home. The impression has got
abroad, it is said, that the Flower Mission
would have exclusive charge of the home
after it's erection. This has been denied
for the donor of the first 5000 stipulates
that the members of the Flower Mission
shall invite the cooperation of the munic-
ipal authorities.
Already the women who have been coll
lecting the money have procured s., 800.
with promises of much more. 1t is the i'm
preston of the ladies that no trouble will
be experienced in getting the 5000 neces-
sary. The use of the home is for patients
having infectious diseases, for which the
city and county have not yet provided a
place.

The Per Diem Question.

For some years car service superintend-
ents, J. r. Cavanaugh. of the Big Four,
being of the number. have been urging the
adoption of a per diem rule in payment OF
cars when off of the road owning them. AT
last the American Railway Association has
taken up this question of charges for ex-
change car service with a view Of ascer-
tanning if rule cannot be adopted that will
increase materially the efficiency OF freight
equipment A committee has been APP
pointed, with General Manager Hutchin-
consider the matter and report on the sub
ject at the next semi-annuat meeting,
which will be held in New York city. I'm
der the present rules the charge for ex-
change car service is made on the mileage
basis, and as a result railroads have be-
come exceedingly lax in returning Dor
rOwed cars, utilizing them on their own
lines until a car service superintendent gets
track of them and orders them returned
at once. AS a consequence, cars get rar
away from the roads owning them. In
many cases officials of the borrowing line
give as excuse for retaining them that
they are waiting to send them back loaded
quired a per diem charge instead of a
mileage charge the difficulty would soon
be remedied. The sentiment of those who
attended the meeting recently at Chicago
was that with the per diem rule railroads
would get at least 20 per cent. more service
out of their equipment than now, and fur
Their il would tend to relieve car blockades
large degree certainly relieve the car
shortage An impression prevails that the
committee will report in favor of the per
diem rule and urge its strict enforcement
