the Burlington Relief association are
especially intended for trainmen and
they are high on that account. No
benefits are paid for accidents not
sustained while on duty. In case of
death through accident the payment
of the insurance policy of the en-
ploye eXempts the company from Ii
ability, according to a recent decis-
ion of the Indiana supreme court.
The inducement that is held out to
the office men and operators to join
involves their prospects of promo
ton. Those who belong Will be Civ
en- the preference, and applicants for
positions will receive small cunsid-
Grafton unless they express willing
ness TO join.
The contention of the officials of
the road is that they desire to en-
ploy. or encourage TO remain with
the company, only men who are in
good physical condition. This OBJ
ject is attained through the medical
examination to which candidates for
entrance to the society are subject
ed. Office employees claim that they
are being Disseminated against in
favor of the trainmen, they being
compelled to pay at the same rate
for benefits which they do not share
equally. and there is much dissatis-
faction

MUTUAL ADVANTAGES GAINED
Car Association Rules in Effect July
1-Other News of
the Rail.

The report is current that the
Rock Island and the Burlington roads
are about to effect an exchange by
which the extra tracks formerly
used by the Peoria from Fifteenth
street west several blocks. will be
given to the Burlington for the small
storage yard the latter has recently
filled east of the Rock Island round
house in the upper yards. 1t is be-
Iieved the report is we'll founded. for
the exchange would upquestiOnably
he mutually beneficial. but officials
of the Rock Island characterize it
as ''bosh.' There is good reason for
maintaining secrecy, for any pro-
nounced movement on the part of
the companies is liable TO raise a
swarm of lawsuits over river front
rights.
The abandonment of the lower
ruundhouse will lessen the travel
over the Rock Island tracks To the
west end of the city so that one
track will suffice for all purposes. 1t
is understood that change will soon
be made so that but one track will
be used. and matters will be 50 ar
ranged that several men who have
been employed throwing switches so
that trains could dodge the various
injunctions that infest the right of
way. will be out of a job.
Car Rules in Fo-ce Here.
Notices have been received by local
railroad men and are being sent To
the principal shippers of the city,
stating hat on and after July 1 the
rules of the Illinois Car Service as
siciation. which have been enforced
in the larger cities of the state. will
he enforced in the tri-cities. The
main feature of these rules is the
charging for freight cars kept by
shippers over IS hours in loading or
unloading at the rate of 81 per day.
Owing to failure of the various
reads to join the association the
rules have not been enforced i'm the
past. and shippers have been allowed
To hold ears as long as they wished
without being assessed for extra
charges. The agreement also goes
into effect at all stations upon about
50 roads in this and adjoining states.
Sutherland Appointed TraInmasier.
r. X. Sutherland. who came here
from Nebraska as superintendent of
the Peoria road at the time of the
elevation of II. p. Greenough to the

bers over the telephone. Then there
are number of letters that it is alb
solutely impossible to distinguish one
from the other. Even when the con
ditions are the best otherwise. one
can't hear if train chances to be
passing, an engine bell ringing or a
locomotive 'humming' near.
Then there is another thing. Any
operator will in a short time learn to
know all the men on his line by their
manner of sending messages. The
style of different operators is al
ways the same under all conditions.
while with the changes i'm a mans
voice and the varying moods of the
telephone, it is next to impossible to
distinguish voices at all times. 1t is
important for an operator to know
with whom he is in communication.
Lastly, there is the matter of re-
cording messages, which must be
done i'm some way. The Telegram phi
transmits a message about as rapid
~ as the receiver can take it down
and does it letter by letter where
there is scarcely a possibility of a
mistake. For these reasons l have
given ana n number of others of less
consequence l think the prediction is
a safe one that telegraph operators
will still be somewhat in demand on
railroads at the end OF another de-

Firth Avenue Passenger station n Credit to
the Road.

The new Fifth avenue passenger
station clicits favorable comment
from all who see the interior for the
first time. The finish is elegant,
tasty and durable and there is more
room than appears to one viewing it
from the avenue. While the building
has been previously described in the
columns of The Argus, there are fea-
lures that deserve further mention.
The furniture is of birch and finish
ed in mahogany color To match the
woodwork. There are four settees
i'm the main room and one each in
Che ladies' and gcntlemen's retiring
rooms. Two of those in the main
room are Is feet long and two are
Il feet. All are double. At the west
end of the main waiting room there
is a fireplace with chocolate colored
marble trimmings and at the east
end of the room there is a marble
drinking fountain artistically carved.
High ON the wall at each end is
painted in bright colors the roads
monogram. The heavy woodwork
with its mahogany finish gives the
entire interior richness of color
highly pleasing.
Both retiring rooms are provided
with high panels and plastered walls.
The ladies' room in the northeast
corner is done in pale pink with buff
ceilings and fowery border. The
gentlemcn's retiring room in the
northwest corner has light green
walls and buff ceiling. The water
closets are large and finely equipped.
Throughout the building the floors
are of notified tile and the polishing
process is just being completed.

OPERATORS VIEW OF 1T.
why Trains Cannot he Handled by TeIe-
phone,

An operator who has worked with
both telegraph and telephone instru-
ments in handling trains said the
other day to an Argus reporter: Il
notice in the papers from time to
making tests of the telephone as a
substitute for the telegraph i'm hand
ling trains, and always the officials
seem To be favorabIy impressed with
the former. Well. now, | have had
something To do with both sorts of
Instruments, and | am here telling
YOU that the time hasn't vet arrived
for the oId-fashioned ticker To take
back seat. All these reports are
encouraged by railroad officials
merely to scare the operators and
keep them feeling that their jobs
may not last, so that they won't
grow too pressing in their demands
for better pay. There are several
reasons why the telephone will not
do.
I'm the first place, the telephone
is too easily gotten out of repair.
There must be n steady, even current
Of electricity and there must be Il re
turn circuit to insure any kind of
service. The mechanism of the tele-
phone is too complicated for the
rough and steady usage of Il railroad
Office. Any telegraph operator can
pick up a few scraps of old iron and
some insulated wire and make his
own instrument. if necessary, but
when a green hand begins to tinker
with the telephone it's all off.
Another thing of equal Importance
i'm which the telephone falls short is
distinctness. The telegraph instru-
meut is slow but it is sure, whils con
ditions must he the best if one can
hear distinctly enough to get num-

which will be good news to the many
friends he has made during his short
residence here. The territory of Mr..

set and Indianola lines, and his head
quarters remain at Davenport.
Depot at East Moline.
c. A. Hunter. the local commercial
agent of the Rock Island. has sue
ccoded in convincing the manage
ment of the road that there has been
much business going TO other roads
AT East Moline through the failure
of the Rock Island TO provide sta
ton there with an agent to look af-
ter the roads interests. Accordingly
an order has been issued for he inn
mediate construction of passenger
and freight depots there upon the
property i'm the central part of town
that was purchased some time ago
for the purpose. East Moline not
only does n considerable shipping
business now, but il is a growing
place. and the adoption of the course
Mr. Hunter has urged will without
doubt net the road substantial re-
turns.
The auditors of the Rock Island
were expected in this city today TO
check out the local freight force of
the former Peoria road and make
such other arrangements as might
be necessary for the consolidation of
the business of the two roads. The
plan now is to use the Offices i'm the
Peoria building and establish therein
the entire force of clerks. The Pc
oria freight house will be used for
the incoming freight and the old
Rock Island freight house for the
outgoing business.
Have a Grievance.
Office employees of the Burlington
are nursing grievance. They feel
that they are being squeezed" and
that n portion of their wages is being
turned back to help swell the com
pany's profits; that. in short. they
are being taxed to hold their jobs.
More HILL" they say.
1t all comes of Il recent edict that
was issued bearing upon the Burling-
ton Voluntary Relief association. 1t
was not an order. but the more eN-
perienced ones say il might as well
have been couched i'm direct language.
The voluntary" phase was elimina-
ted some time ago so far as train
men were concerned, and now the Of
flee men declare that. as it applies
to them. il is merely voluntary TO the
extent that they can join the associ-
alton or quit.
Original Object.
The Relief association is intended
to- protect the men i'm case of sick
ness or injury. members being paid

dues are considerably higher than
