Aee Limit for RalIway Men.

ABG AIHAA& AOE EtAAAhWAE mNAAs
 Some railroads out-Oslerized Osler not long ago by adopting rule for bidding tn eemploymen tof new men past 35 years of age
 It is gratifying, says the Railway Garments Journal. to learn that the ab- surdity of limiting the age at which a railway man is eligible for employ ment is passing away more rapidly than the promoters of such a measure expected.
 Already the principal roads in Amer lea where the experiment has been tried have abandoned the regulation. The Boston and Maine, the Alton. the St. Paul and the Burlington are vir- tually ignoring the age limit regula- ton, and. guided by common sense, are hiring men more with view to their qualifications than to the exact number of years which they may have lived.
 Experience and capability are the real tests of a mans fitness for any position, and if a railway official makes the mistake of hiring an incompetent man there is no law compelling the com pany to employ him. Years in them selves are no criterion,
 Some men are old at 40. Others are yung at 60 In any event 1t is safe to assume that lack of the supOleness of youth Is often more than made up for by the wider experience of added years.

NEWS OF RAILROADS
Nnrlt Advnnce in Wnaen,

The railroad situation Is gradually reaching a stage from which inter- esting developments are expected with in the next few days.
 As stated by The Advertiser some days ago local representatives of the machinists. boilermakers and black smiths unions of the local shops of the Atlantic Coast Line in West Montgom- cry are now in Wilmington attending a conference between the above men, toned unions of that system and the officials of the Coast Line. Primarily the object of the employees Is to se- cure an advance. of 10 per cent. in wages, but an effort will also be made to get shorter hours, an eight hour day being the program.
 The indications are that there will be concession by the railroad of the 10 per cent. increase, but that they will balk at the elght-hour day on the grounds that the increased expense to them will be- too heavy.
 So far no action has been taken by the order of Railway Conductors or the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers, but a Louisville and Nashville engineer said yesterday that within the next few days there will be gen. eral movement by the conductors and engineers not only of the Louisville and Nashville and Coast Line, but of most of the roads in this section of the South and probably all of them entering Montgomery. On the Coast Line and Louisville and Nashville, as well as most of the other roads. the contracts between the conductors and engineers are made to hold until tho 1st of January, and an effort will be made by these two orders to have ma terial changes inserted in the new 190i contract. The most important of the changes demanded will be an increase of 10 per cent in wages to be made uniform between ethe earnings of long and short run men, shorter hours and a fewer number of officials authorized to give orders.
