A TEACHERS UNION.
Employees of New York Board of
Education Organize.

New York, Nov. 14.-Practically all
the teachers in the public schools of
Greater New York have been brought
together In a powerful organization.
comparing in a favorable light numeri-
cally with any trades union in the city.
The organization will be known as the
Interborough council of teachers.
Overtures recently received from the
central federated union to have the
teachers form a regular trades union
with the result that they would be af-
filiated with union worlxmen through
out the United States, were rejected;
but the PETERBOROUGH council possesses
all the attributes of a trades union, al
though the teachers insist that there is
a wide difference in their organizations.
Nearly 1900 employees of the board of
education are members of the council,
which will be the governing body for
all the old associations. The latter are
therefore practically amalgamated after
many years of independent endeavor.
The organization has it's direct object
the betterment of teachers and a more
perfect cooperation with the board of
education.

MAN WHO sHovE1s COAL
Gets Slight Consideration in Con-
etruetion of the Big Engines.

To show how very little regard is
SHOWN for the man who really deserves
the credit, needs only to cite a few ILL.,
ustrations of the leading critics and
writer's of railroads and the advance
ment of mechanics. Very often has the
question. How will the master me-
chan1c, foreman, boilermaker and
superintendent surmount the new trials
and obstacles which must occur with
the many new and large locomotives?'
been asked. Much comment has been
passed as regards the man who does
the figuring and offers calculations
but in no case has there been one word
SAID in regard to the burden before the
poor fireman, who is compelled to burn
twenty-eight and thirty ton of coal go
ing only 106 miles. In other words, the
man who is compelled to do the actual
work receives not the least considera-
ton. The Santa Fe has, at present,
the largest locomotives in the railroad
service, having received but lately,
seventy engines of the 900 class. These
engines weigh fifteen ton more than did
through here about eighteen months
largest locomotive in the world. All
these engines haul about 500 ton at the
present, which is not a half of their
tonnage and in making the trip of
eighty-six miles from La Junta oTrin-
idad, no one trip has been made, where
the fireman has not been compelled to
shovel twenty-five tons of COAL 1t is
about time some step was taken in this
regard and not so much credit given
where it is not deserved. Give the men
a chanca-Emporia Republican.

LIKE CHICAGO FAIR
st. Louis Roads May Refuse to Make
Reduced Rates.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 14-Passenger
officials of the st. Louis lines state
that upon the outcome of the fight be-
ing made by them to secure protection
from ticket brokers to great extent
depends the rate which the railroads
Will make for the worlds fair.
Not only is this said to be true Of
the ST Louis lines. but all of the rail-
roads in the United States.
1t is understood that in event the
Missouri courts do not grant per-
manent injunction against the brokers
and other proceedings instituted by the
railroads against the brokers prove of
no avail. that the policy adopted by
the Chicago lines at the time of the
Columbian exposition will be followed
in st. Louis next year.
Because of lack of desired protec-
ton from the brokers the Chicago
lines, and many of the lines not run
ming to Chicago, refused to grant a
than 20 per cent. on the round-trip rate
at the time of the worlds fair.
This policy was adhered to with con-
siderable fidelity from May until Oc-
lower rate was granted. but in October
competition couOled with outside
pressure, forced the railroads to make
round-triD rate for one fare.
1t is claimed that had not this been
done the Chicago fair would have
proven a disastrous failure. and that
the number of visitors who came to
Chicago after the first of October
saved the day.
Railway officials contend that the
sealpers then reaped a harvest at the
cost of the transportation companies,
and that it was a long time before all
of the changed, forged and altered
tickets were taken in and retired, only
to be followed by numerous suits from
d1sgruntled passengers who had bought
the tickets from brokers, been discov-
cred and subjected to great ANNOYANCE
and trouble in consequence.
From this experience passenger Off
Gals feel that they are justified in
thew are not fulfilling their duty to
their companies by involving them in
conditions like those that arose out of
the Chicago fair

Now IS the Time |
SPECIAL NOVEMBER ADVICE.
This Time of the Year Is EspeciaIis
Productive at Catarrhal Diseases.
Pe-ru-na is Necessary
Safeguard.

Miss E. Harris. 1S5 Wisconsin street,
Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
L wish all suffering women could
know the value of Peruna to restore
their health. When you are sick with a
complication of troubles the avera ge
physician is not able to diagnose and
prescribe correctly, but if you will take
Peruna you can be sure that you have
the right medicine for a run down con-
dItlon which we women are so apt to
get into. It certainly braced me up and
improved my health to a great degree,
and / can certainly recommend il as a
very reliable medicine for women and
their troubles"
Peruna cures catarrh in all phases and
stages. This remedy has been thorough
ly tested during the past forty years.
There is no remedy that can be substi-
tuted.

Santa Fe Will Not Reserve Pullman
Berths at Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 1.-THE Santa
Fee announces a radical change in the
company's system of reservations on
the overland trains between Los Angeles
and the east. Heretofore it has been
customary to reserve a section for
passenger in advance, which often re-
suited in a loss by the REIMBURSEMENT
of reservation, the space going east
empty while other people were obliged
to wait several days for space on later
trains. The plan has been deemed I'M
satisfactory as well as unbusiness-like
and the company will now require peo-
pie to put up the money before they re-
ceive the privilege of reserving a sec
ton.

GREEKS ARE NO GOOD.
Their Work as Section Hands Said to
Be Unsatisfactory.

The gang of Greeks, who We're sent
here about two weeks ago, are still at
work but the road master reports their
work as being of a very inferior class
to that done by the section hand, says
the Emporia Republican. Some ex-
PLANTATION ought to be forthcoming as
to why these foreigners are given places
over the American section hand. Is it
because the railroad cannot afford to
paw the section men respectable wages?
Or does it prefer cheap men with cheap
wages and inferior work? Tt looks as
though the steamship companies and
the railroads are in on the deal.
