SUPERVISED THE BUILDING OF
21O MILES OF FREIGHT CARS.
Inspector for hty Years. Helped
Thousand Ere light Cars-IIas
Changes n the Manner Of Constructing Them

George Barth, car inspector for the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad Company, probably
holds the record for continuous service in
that capacity. He has in the last thirty
years supervised the construction of more
than 5000 freight cars. which, If stood
end 10 end. would make a line more than
30 miles long. Mr. Barth said that his es-
innate of the number of cars he had a
hand in building is conservative, and that
the number is really somewhat larger.
Since 1888 Mr. Barth has been inspecting
cars in ST Louis. Detroit. st. Charles and
Madison for the Missouri Pacific Railroad
Company. and in that time has directed the
building and inspected the materials used
in 1852 cars.
MIR Barth was born at Minersville. Pa.
ir. 1870 He learned Wagon-making and
btacksmithing and commenced to build cars
il 1871 at the Ohio Falls Car Works. He
remained there \ year. when he was ap-
pointed car inspector for the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company at their shops
in Louisville. He remained there until he
came to St Louis. in 1883, and entered the
service of the Missouri Pacific company.
For the last several years Mr.. Barth has
alteTnated between the shops of the Ameri-
can Car and Foundry Company in this
city, Madison and st Charles. He goes
wherever the railroad company is having
4 lot of cars built. and is always on the
ground before any of the work is COM
menced by the builders. Every bit of ma
teral that is put into the cars is inspected
by him before it is used. The wheels. aXles
and entire running gear are subjected to
the most rigid examination. and every
piece of wood, iron and steel used has to

Three Business Mems Organiza
tiOns Planning Consolidation
in the Near Future.

Plans are being formulated for the con-
solidation of the West End. North Side and
South St. Louis Business Mems Associa-
tions. the idea being that more can be ac-
complished along the working lines of the
associations by concerted action than by
the organizations standing alone. The plan
was suggested at a meeting of the West
End Business Mems Association. but is still
in an embryo state. and no definite action
will be taken until the matter has been
thoroughly discussed by the other organiza-
tons.
About three weeks ago the North End and
South Side Business Mems Associations
were invited to cooperate with the West
End Business Mems Association, but as the
annual election of officers came up in the
interim the matter has not been brought
up for discussion. 1t is expected that some
conclusion will be arrived at shortly. an'.
that the organizations will be ready to
take the matter up in detail in about two
weeks. II. w. Triedewald. President OF

five days to finish up 4 car.
All the time the inspector is busy watch

how to proceed. but simply watches to see
that the work is done thoroughly and that
no faulty material is used. Should an at
tempt be made 10 use 4 knotry beam. or a

The car shops Of the American Refrisera-

This company is really branch Of the rail-
