eno Views Taken Of Our Great Bees of Industry With Men, Machine
and Materials

The purpose Of this article is not to
enter into technical detail. but to pre-
sent to our readers such description of
the railroad shops at Wadsworth as
will bring them before the minds eye.
But aside from this the reporter feels
that in the items there is compensation
for every railroad man who reads, from
heads Of departments to employe. We
hope this assertion will be proved to
the satisfaction of all, and If it is both
pleasure and profit result from the
plain statement Of facts as they exist,
THE "sHoPs.
The employees terse "shops" en-
braces all departments under the
supervision of Assistant Master Me-
chanic L. S. Pratt, who is highest resi-
dent authority in motive power and
machinery and all that pertains thereto,
including about two hundred men, from
common laborers to skilled mechanics.
The principal buildings are the ma
chine shops. roundhouse, and the car
shops, while there are others of less
appearance and size, but Of
equal importance in the lines Of work
necessary to be done.
THE "AR" ScHooLRooM.
In a neat and cozy building to the
rear of Mr. Pratt's office, and con-
genient for all, is a schoolroom for
hose employees who have to do with
air. as 1t is used In conjunction with
railroad machinery. Here we find
complete for the equipment
Of a train consisting of an engine and
six cars. Every lever. cylinder. valve,
pipe, hose, guage. ETC.. is shown, con-
nected, In exact size. as used in such
a train. There are sections of pipes,
cylinders, and valves, that the passage
of the air may be shown from the be-
ginning Of its use to the end, and that
its action under all circumstances and
conditions may be made plain to the
student. The wonderful progress made
in the equipment from the old style to
the new, and the increase effectiveness
in time and power, are shown by the
duplicates of the old and the new work.
ing one beside the other. The COM
oarison is evident. In such plant,
and nowhere else, can one witness the
working Of the air machinery from en-
CINE cab to rear car in the passing OF a
second. 1t was all very interesting,
out the strongest feature to bring reali-
saton home was to pull the signal cord
that passes through the train and hear
the whistle signal in the cab Of the en-
CINE. 1t gives one the best sense OF
the security which railroad companies
aim to hedge about their patrons, their
employees and themselves, by the use
of the most perfect devices. This
schoolroom is fitted up with every
requisite for ease and comfort, en-
oloyes are required to register, and an
instructor is in attendance twice a week
Ior the benefit Of those who desire to
earn. The advantages to be gained
oy employees becoming familiar with
ar machinery are mutual to employer
and employe.

COMPRESSED AIR.

COMPRESSED AIR.
Compressed air is great factor as
a power now and is coming into exten-
sive use. At the machine shop 1t is
stored in an iron cylinder that looks
like large engine boiler. The pres
sure in this cylinder is kept at about
one hundred pounds to the square inch.
The air compressor works to a
charm. The air pipes run where
ever needed in all the shops. yards,
and coal chutes. 1t is put to various
uses. Wherever forge is used. and
there are many Of them. the bellows
have been done away with, with attend
ant labor, and compressed air has been
installed. 1t is the power behind the
hoists that picks up weights from
/ pounds to tons with no more exertion
on the part of the operator than Is
required to stroke his whiskers. 1t
operates its little hammer on a cold
chisel striking at the rate of l4OO
blows per minute, doing the work five
times as fast as a skilled mechanic
could. 1t puts an inch auger through
eight inches Of oak in eight seconds
when hitched to tool you could stow
away in your pocket. Compressed air
forces oil to flow up hill. II does all
manner Of things in most economical
way for the Southern Pacific and raises
no bllsters or backaches ior the men.

They have another machine that cuts

them the required length and often
one cannot say where the weld was
made. Then the people who dwelt
near the shops couldn't hear them

being ratified around to knock the scale

ORDER OUT OF CHAOS.
Back of that shop used to be about
the dirtiest hole in creation, but things
have changed about the place. There
are large. handy racks there and a
place for everything that has to 60 out
there, and again everything in its place.
1t is model worth study to see the
orderly disposition Of such conglom-

CARE OF MATERIAL.
The new flues are in racks; the
pipe, assorted, IS in racks; the lumber
assorted, Is in racks; the brick is neat

in another, properly marked; engine

lamps, sheets Of copper and iron, no
matter what it is. IL is packed away in
systematic order, where when
wanted, 1t can be found in a second.
So it is from the tiniest thing in stock
to the bulkiest. Extreme neatness
prevails considering the environments.

groWl at them as you may. the fact Is
patent that they pay large salaries to
the most competent men and expend
large sums Of money to keep pace with
the world and furnish their patrons
everything possible for their safety and
we'll being while in their care. The
"piper" has an important part in all
this. He Is the plumber of the corpor-
alton and often worker in copper and
tin.
THE BOILER MAKERS.
The boiler maker has no sinecure
and is invariably a married man or
has great desire to be. In proof of
this we offer the boiler makers OF the
Wadsworth shops. The boiler maker
having 1t ding-donged into him all day
at the shops is restless If he cannot
have 1t also all night. so strong be-
comes habit. The boiler shop is a
busy place for these hard-muscled sons
of toll, albeit the company is nowhere
lax in furnishing them everything
known in machinery to aid them and
further their work.
THE CAR SHOPS.
All repairs to cars are made at. the
car shops. a building several hundred
feet long and nearly hundred feet
wide. under one roof and without par
tition so the boss can see if every man
Is doing his whole duty. it being the
rule that the shirker must 60. All

wrecking crew comes largely from
these shops with the men experienced
in clearing the track in the shortest
time possible and picking up the wreck
age to save all that may be useful.
The derricks. blocks and tackle are all
stored here for use when necessary.
BATHS AND BOOKS.
The bath rooms are neat and COM
modious, The tubs are the best that
money can buy. Water is heated in a
large iron tank by turning steam
through long coil of pipe. Hot and
cold water is furnished in abundance.
The rooms are always comfortable.

maintain this library members pay
dues Of fifty cents per month and have
the privilege of the library and bath

should be appreciated. Every person
in this town should lend his mite to aid
this splendid undertaking.

tion with electricity. WAS called in,

the button is pressed the whistle does
the rest; shoe leather is saved to the
employees and dollars and time to the

NEWSPAPER MANS INsPEcTloN.
A newspaper man is observant but
newspaper man who has been rail-
road man under inspection" is more
SO. Had the general officers been out
on their annual tour and overhauled the
shops as the newspaper man did, the
percentage would have been high. Our
trip was on the spur Of the moment
and not expected. probably not wei
coined. We found many things that
entitle Mr.. Pratt to credit. We have
space to mention only few of them.
HIGH CLASS OF EMPLOYEES.
Steady and faithful employees are
worth more to railroad company and
the holders of its stock than any other
single feature. After residence here
Of nearly twenty years we can say
there never was in that period class
Of men as well-behaved. industrious
and deserving in the railroad shops
here, as there is today. The personnel
was never so strong in all that is de-
sirable to the railroad company and
this community. Every employer of
men knows what is his greatest diff
Guilty.
TIME SAVED is MONEY SAVED.
Seconds fly into minutes and min
utes into hours and where many men
are at work they reach to days and
months and where there are So many
instances Of curtailmcnt of time by the
use of new devices, by the establish
ment Of plain systems for everything.
by having a place for everything
and everything in its place, the
saving Of time and material ac
complished by thorough study. obser
vation, and then application, amounts
to thousands OF dollars in year
FOR INSTANCE.
There was, to US, an amusing in
stance Of practical saving. but we. as
must all, recognize it valuable one to
the company. The store room en-
trance was formerly at the front of the
building. 1t is now at the rear. The
moral is: To rubber" is waste Of
time; besides it's not polite, and fire.
quently not ones own time.
NO WASTACE.
When material is in order time is
saved and injury and breakage averted.
With the means now in use there is no
wastage Of oil, not drop spilled in
transfer from storage tanks or in
measuring out by pints or larger guam
tity. And no more do we see the
earth alongside the rails saturated with
oil all through the yard from switch to
switch. And so 1t goes.

ard feet of floor space, filled with the
many different kinds of machines used
in repairs upon all parts OF locomo-
tives. The labyrinth of belts and
gearing is confusing to the initiated,
but everything IS in its place, in prime
order to do the required work when
necessary. 1t speaks we'll for the
management to see such system, that
men work with the regularity of ma
chimes, each man intent upon the task
in hand. Upon entering at first sight
we see number of locomotives in all
conditions. One is stripped beyond
recognition to the novice and another
| is apparently ready for the road. With
all this there is decided evidence of
system, a place for everything and
everything in its place. To the left Of
the door. along the wall the benches
string out with mechanics busy at diff
ferent kinds of work. From side to
side of the building and end to middle
are the machines with the men using
them. At this time we cannot 60 into
detail as to the work each machine
does. Suffice to say many are costly
some of late patent, and with them any
part of a locomotive can be made or
repaired. To save the men there is
apparatus that takes hold of the
heaviest wheels or any parts of loco
motive and handles them with the
greatest ease. requiring little exertion
Of the workman. and among which is a
drop table or pit for the removal Of the
heaviest driving wheels and trucks.
THE POWER USED.
The power required for the entire
plant comes from a boiler and engine
located In the stationary engine room.
Coal is the fuel used and the man in
charge sounds the whistle which sum-
mons the force to work and releases
them from duty.
THE METAL WORKERS.
At one end Of the huge building are
the shops used by the blacksmiths.
coppersmiths. tinsmiths, pipers and
boilermakers. Glowing fires. flying
sparks and sturdy men here meet the
eye at every point, Seldom at any
place is heavier work required of men
than is required here. but every facility
for the easy handling Of heavy pieces
of iron, is furnished. Cranes and
steam hammers are the great requis-
tiles. There are two power hammers,
one light and one heavy. The light
hammer driven by belt was installed
by Mr.. Pratt. 1t does marvellous work
when in the hands Of master and
saves the company many dollars. The
large hammer which is operated by
steam soon pounds anything placed un-
der it into shape and is a powerful
piece of machinery. 1t takes first
class smiths to work in the Wads-
worth shops and hold their jobs.
THE PIPERS AND SMITHS.
The modern locomotive is becoming
more and more a network Of pipes OF
iron and copper, caused by demands OF
nsw inventions TO create greater effici-
ency of machinery, tending towards
power, economy in its use and greater
comforts to the travelling public. Say
