A Chicago dispatch says that through
the efforts of trainmen and enginemen,
the practice of double-heading is be.
ing abolished on American railroads.
The labor element won a decided vic
tory In this respect In its contest with
the Union Pacific and Santa Fe rail.

over the question the management OF
each railroad has agreed to discon.
tinue double.heading except in rare In.
stances.
This victory is considered the final
blow to Notwithstanding, for more than
any other railroads in the country do
the Union Pacific and Santa Fe need
double headers. The labor commit.
tees, however, made ouble-heading
an issue of the wage question and re-
fused TO bulge from the position of
hostility which they have assumed
against the practice. Tho agreement
which has been obtained from these
roads is being used by the trainmen
and enginemen as a lever with which
to force other railroads to discontinue
the practice. The fight against double.
heading, which Is claimed to be extra
hazardous to life and limb, Is a fight
without compromise.
The agreement with the Union Pa.
cifc and the Santa Fe railroads con
tains these clauses: With trains of
over thirty cars, exclusive of caboose,
the practice of double-heading will be
discontinued as hereinafter provided.

Conner of the firm OF Caples & O'Con-

sion Of the Santa Fee near Albuquerque.
The firm has most of the contract
for the grading of the Santa Fe line
from Belen. Nem Mexico. to a point on
the Pecos Valley line OF the Santa Fe
near Roswell
He says that the grading work is
progressing rapidly near Belen and
that the crew is now out fifty miles.
Some of this wofk will not be com
pleted for several months, however.
as there are several large cuts TO pass
on the line.
He also says that the track laying
has reached the Rio Grande river two
miles from Belen and will stop there
until the big bridge Is completed over
the river.
This will be one OF the largest
bridges in New Mexico. being 1900
feet long and built OF steel with large
stone abutments. This will delay the
track laying for a month or two when
II will be rapidly pushed on to the
grading camps.

Wednesday afternoon a new employe
at the round house started a fire under
the boiler Of the locomotive, In which
there was no water, and from time TO

CINE became red hot and the adding OF
more coal had the same effect on IL
OF feeding a foundry furnace. The
fiues were melted and the interior of
the engine rendered useless. At ~
o'clock that night the locomotive was
great sight and IL was viewed by
many. IL was red hot and its inside
workings were slowing being con.

throw water on II would crack the
iron. and II was just simply case of
waiting until II cooled on The engine
