New York to Chicago-Eighteen Hours


1t was only about ten years ago that the
standard running time of trains between
New York and Chicago was twenty-four
hours. In order to maintain that schedule
the railroads following it were then re-
quired to sacrifice some measure of the
free-track use to the expresses, but gradu-
ally the margin of successful performance
was increased, until they found it possible
to establish twenty-hour trains. Now
the Pennsylvania railroad announces that
it will hereafter run train daily between
New York and Chicago In eighteen hours
In order to demonstrate the possibility of
this performance il has just broken all rec
ords by running a special train from Chi
cago to Pittsburg, a distance of 46S miles,
In 40 minutes. maintaining an average
speed of 63% miles an hour, including all
stops. The stops totalled % minutes, so
that in actual running the test train made
en- average speed of 6S.1 miles an hour.
During some parts of the run the speed
was much higher than this average, the
train at times covering a mile in from AZ
to A seconds.
If regular train service can be maintained
between the cities on an eighteen-hour basis
it will only rest with the public demand to
determine whether greater speeds will be
attempted. The steam locomotive is, of
course. capable of higher rate than fifty
three miles an hour. There are numerous
instances of short-run performances at the
rate of seventy miles an hour, and on very
short runs. such as from PHILADELPHIA to
Atlantic City, as high as ninety miles an
hour has been achieved in rare instances.
where speed was the prime requisite Some
very fast runs have been made between
Philadelphia and New York. a distance Of
ninety miles. The fastest long-distance run
up to date-reckoning In this class any
thing over $50 miles-is believed to have
been achieved recently on the Pennsylvania
railroad, on the occasion of a hurry visit
of President Cassatt from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg. The special made the run of S53
miles in $50 minutes.
OF course there is great difference be-
tween special trains and regular schedule.
In the former case everything is sidetracked
for the flyer The regular service is yirtu-
ally discontinued until the special has gone
past. When q schedule Is being followed

AMERICAN
BAND NOT
EMPLOYED

Contrary TO the custom that has been
in vogue for a great number OF years.
the American band will not accompany
the What Cheer lodge. No. 2l, A. +. and
A. NJ. on the occasion of it's annual sail
down the bay next Monday evening, the
Fort Adams band having been chosen in
stead.
II was said that the decision not TO en-
ploy the American band was the result
OF tho controversy during the recent
knights Templar parade in Boston, when
there was some trouble on the question
OF union and non-union bands.
AT that time all the union bands decided
10 withdraw from the line OF march II
the fort bands played and they did this.
The question then was not so much one
Of union or non-union as II was OF the
fact that the government bands could,
by being in the employ OF the government
and being supported by the government.
underbid the union musicians and thus
take, as n side issue. the professional
calling away from the regular musicians
who depended upon that for n livelihood.
The aim OF the union was 70 have the
government so pay the enlisted musician
that he would not feel called upon TO go
outside for the making OF any money.
IL is not a question OF becoming a mem
ber OF the union for every member OF the
union realizes that no enlisted man can
become a member of the union. 1t Is
simply because from the very nature OF
things the enlisted man can underbid the
union musician and thus take his trade
away from him, that the agitation for the
increased pay OF the enlisted man has
been begun so that he will not step out
side his craft 10 cut into the work OF the
civilian musician.
The American band, whenever the ques-
tion OF playing in line with a non-union
band has been brought up has decided 10
stand by the unions. There is a fine
OF $50 fixed for each member OF any union
band found playing in line with a non
union one.

institution as the result OF the recent
escape OF a patient today announced
their findings through the chairman OF

River. They declare that they have
found conditions at the hospital in every
way satisfactory.
Relative TO the escape. they state that
an occasional escape OF a patient who is
not dangerous is bound 10 occur unless
a system OF prison discipline which
would be fatal TO the comfort and well
fare OF such patients. Is adopted AL pos
sible precautions have been taken 20
guard against such happenings
A careful examination OF the food
shows 1t TO be OF excellent quality and
ample quantity. Charges OF ill-treatment
of patients by attendants were thorough
ly Investigated and In no case were they
substantiated. One case is cited where
cruelty by an attendant was alleged TO
have caused the death OF a patient. The
facts were found TO be that the patient
had been suffering from paresis and died
as the result OF convulsions.
In conclusion. the trustees state that
the incidents connected with the recent
escape were greatly magnifed by some
OF the newspapers and that in reality
they were not OF an unusual nature

FIRMS CAN
SUE UNION

bridgeport. Conn. June 9-rhe de-
PENDANTS demurrer 10 the complaint in
the now famo1s anti-eSycott suit OF
Dietrich f. Loewe ct al Of Danbury
against Martin Lawlor ct al was over
ruled by Judge shumway in the superior
court yesterday.
This action probably brings the suit one
step nearer trial after being in court
nearly two years.
The court holds that certain para
graphs OF the complaint contain allega-
tions that the defendants entered into
a combination and conspiracy TO jnjure
the property and business OF the plain
tins, and the latter may maintain ac-
ton in the courts OF this state TO de-
termne IL the means employed were law
ful or unlawful
The suit was brought by Loewe a
Co. hat makers. against the officers and
members OF the Hatters' Local union,
members OF the United Hatters OF North
America. and against the officers OF the
American Federation OF Labor. TO recover
damages alleged 10 have been sustained
through an alleged boycott declared
against the firms products.
The suit was based on the Sherman
anti-boycott law, and at the time the
papers were sEfNeO lntIt WAS np sun
for a precedent. AS yet no answer has
been filed 20 the original complaint, al
though continuously from the time the
suit was brought the courts have had
under consideration questions brought up.
II is claimed that had Judge Shum-
way sustained tho demurrer the plaintiffs
would have been without ground for
action.
The demurrer set up the claim that
the charges OF conspiracy did not con-
stitute a proper action at law. and that
individual members OF n labor union
could not be held responsible for the acts
OF their organization.
The defendants now have their choice
OF answering the complaint and make
pleadings or Of appealing TO the supreme
court OF errors from the decision.
II is expected that the latter course will
be taken. Once before a point OF law
was taken TO this highest court under
reservation, but that body sent II back
for a ruling in the superior court
The suit for the plaintiffs is conducted.
(, It is understood. by the American Anti
boycott association.
