NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.

In the Maine Central yard at SkowhcEan
last week, was Il box car Of the Boston u
Albany numbered l2.3lJ. 1t is very sci
dom that a car numbered conSccutiNeIE Is
seen. In fact railroad men are always ON
the lookout for such a sight ana the ilnd-
ing of a car so numbered is considered
an omen of good luck.

week for Trenton. New Jersey, where ne
will accept Il similar position with the
Pennsylvania railroad. Mr.. tladlock IS
the son of Samuel Hadlock, the Boston X
Maine freight conductor.
The Rockand. Thomaston and Camden
street railway will. on June first, adopt
regular stopping places along its main line.
This will enable the management to keep
its cars on time and will help to prevent
long stops on sidings and running at hlgh
speed through the streets. Many OF inc
patrons of the company have advised this
move for Years past. This system has
been in use in most other cities for several
years.
There is a good deal of feeling among
Boston x Maine freight clerks in regard
to the proposed changes III the scale OF
wages. A dispatch states that the train
men are TO set Il 10 pei, cent increase he
ginning on July 1st but that freight
clerks have been decreased in pay about
Is per cent The dispatch also states that
Sundays. The Boston IL Maine. officials
,, admit that there has been a small cut III
wages of the freight clerks but at the
same time claim that the change is the re
suit of an arrangement for the benefit OF
the men themselves. They also state that
in all proba biity the office employees will
be granted an advance when the train
men receive the ten per cent. increase

nounced that the time of billing clerk

day as well as Sundays, would be equal
lied. and the Sunday work done away
with. The plan was to arrange the worl
so that there would be no overtime anG
no Sunday work. Many of the clerks Dc
not take kindly to the new plan, inasmucf
as there is a slight reduction in wages
but the officials of the road believe it i.
all for the best both for the company anG
the men themselves. 1t is probably that
this matter will be brought before tho
company in July. when all the requests
for different scale or for an increase il
wages are taken up. Several matter
have already been referred to this TIM
for definite action, and if there is dissatis
faction among the freight clerks the mat
ter will in all probability be adjusted al
that time.
