AROUND THE
WORLD
Continued from page 4

1t unnecessary to consider the closing of the
railroad gap between England and Ireland by
a siXty-four-Inile tunnel from Holvhead to
Dublin; but even that is not beyond feasibil-
lty, measured by the criteria of to-day The
comparatively short ocean course from New
York to Queenstown, little over twentv-seven
hundred miles, imparts some interest to this
possible feature OF a trip around the globe
within the great railroad belt The total dis
tance by this combined railroad and tunnel
route from Dover in England to Queenstown,
Ireland, would be about five hundred and sixty
miles including the tunnel under the Irish Sea
he stimulating influences to the attainment of
this end, however, are probably too weak to
bring II about IN the reasonably near future
but the transcontinental line with the only
ocean break of about thirty-two hundred miles
between English ports and New York, with
tunnel connections under the English Channel
and Berlng Strait, Is by no means fanciful.

Thirty-Seven Days for This Trip


TT would be reasonable to assume an average
speed throughout this trip of about twenty
miles an hour five hundred miles a dav, if
II was continuously taken. The fast Atlantic
steamers already attain that speed. and there
would be no practical difficulty in maintaining
1t through fifteen thousand mile railroad trip
At this moderate rate of CrcumsCribing the
globe the trip around the world would be made
IN about thlrtv-seVen DAYS, lustifYing the state
ment made at the beginning of this article.
In the early years Of railroad building as in
the early stages of all new industrial move
ments, progress was slow: but under the slim
ulating influence OF rapidly increasing surplus
wealth on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean
the annual additions to the railroad lines Of
the world increased at an accelerated rate,
until at the present time the railroad mileage
OF the globe IS not far from five hundred and
eightv-tive thousand miles.
This enormous mileage represents a CapitaliZ-
alton little if any less thantVe billions of dollars.
If reference IS made to a terrestrial globe, it will
be found that up TO the present time the main
railway development of the world has taken
place chiefly in the United States, Canada and
Europe, between the thirtieth and siXteth
parallels of latitude. Although there has been
a substantial amount of railway building out
side OF those limits. as in Mexico, IN India, and
on the Scandinavian Peninsula, the great mass
OF railway construction will be found between
those limits. At the present time railway
development is much stimulated in South
Africa along the Cape to Cairo line. Also
railway lines OF some magnitude have been
constructed in South America, chiefly in Argen-
tine. and at a few isolated locations tributary
to the west coast. In the main, however, the
commercial vigor and constructive energy and
intelligence required for the exploitation and
construction of great arteries OF land trans
pOrtatiOn, with steam as motive power, have
been found only IN those temperate regions
located approximately between thirty and
sixty degrees OF north latitude.

FIRE Il single one of the several
thousand petitions We're sent in by
he railroad men. In fact, it was
efore the railroad men knew of the
ction of the conference. Things
haped themselves his way, and
ailroad employees viii have to
argelv thank him for the passes
HEY get. He gave out the news
within an hour after the corferees
had decided to cut the railroad
men off in order that the railroad
mployes might have time TO get
their petitions in before the bill

| 1t was Senator Ellzins who
wrote the amendment into the rate
Ebill prohibiting railroads from
producing or dealing in the things
which they handle as common
carriers. This will mean great
strides of advance in the coal pro-
ucing states. 1t was he who wrote
the provision in the bill requiring
railroads to install switches and to
give lateral and branch lines Just
and fair treatment. This amend
lment will mean the opening up of
thousands of acres of new territory
for development 1t will mean the
employment of thousands of labor
ing men.
These are some Of the things
Senator Elkins has done. He has
made record which will COM

Labor has many reasons why it
should be grateful to him, and
many reasons why in the forthcom-
ling campaign it should do what it
can to insure his return, for labor
needs him at the Capitol. He is
conservative, careful friend of the

RAILROADERS
ARE CHANGED

The Coal & Coke railroad has
been making number Of changes
in the personnel of the working
force on the railroad in the last
few weeks A number of conduct
ors and other men have been dis
charged from duty, others are re-
signing and their places are being
flied with new men more accepta-
bile to the management of the road.
Some time ago w. n. Furlong,
chief train dispatcher and l.. L.
Smith, trainmaster of the Coal and
Coke, with headquarters at Elkins,
were relieved of their positions be-
cause of friction with the manag-
ing officials. They were succeeded
by 4. S. Jones as trainmaster and
u. G.. Hilatbile as chief train dis
Ipatcher. 1t seems that the change
made has not been to the liking OF
| he old employees of the road and
hey have expressed their displeas-
re on different occasions and sew
eral fights with Hiltabile have oc-
urred. Superintendent w. I'll.
Bower has been back Of his new
EMPLOYEES and has discharged some
of the offenders and it is said 9th
iers will be let out.
The employees of the road are
strong in their praise of Furlong
and Smith. the two discharged Of
Ificials, and say there was no trouble
at all when they were conducting
affairs. Most of the changes made
have been in the freight service,
although one or two has been made
on the passenger trains.

ELKINs AND LABOR

There is no class of men who
ask things at the hands of Congress
a greater percent of whose requests
are Just and fair and right, says the
Labor World, than the working
man. And Senator Blkins has
found. time and reason TO-. advo-
cate practically all the legislation
they have asked for since he. has
beer. a meIIber Of the Senate. He
has ben one of those who have adj
voeated the eight-hour principle a.
applied to labor He thinks that
Uncle Sam should set the example
as an employer and lie has therefore
advocated the adoption of the eight
hour system on all public works.
In some case this has been adopt
ed and yet be adopted in other cases
in the future. .
i Again. he believes in the Princi-
pie of employers liability; and he
now has bill pending in Congress
looking to the extension d that
principle to all labor emplSyed by
the government of tie United
States. He was one of.sthose who
helped to pass the natipnats en-
ployers' liability bill atj tho past
session of Congress. m S.i
Senator Elkins believes that the
mechanics of the gover9Raen navy
wards are entitled to the SAINT, CON
sideration as the clerks in them,
and he therefore introduced and
had passed a bill which gives them
leaves of absence Just as tlfefclerlls
have had them. r5g Hs'lst
He believes the railroad should
be compelled to take every possible
precaution for the safety OF their
employees and he has therefore had
passed a resolution authorizing !!

IRON AND STEEL.
Wtrons Markets for All Grades OF Pig Iron
Continuous High Activity in Steel.

In all that relates to pig iron the markets
were stiong throughout the last week. De-
mands we're mainly for spot iron, which in the
present condition OF the market means as
sarly delivery OF iron as can be had under the
conGestsd traflc state that exists in mineral
transportation. The highest degree of pres
sure for quick delivery iron is from the scores
OF foundrymen who are behind in contracts
under time deliveries set for November and
December For requirements In foundry
IRON for the first half Of 1907, business is
moderate. The majority of founders in a
large &ay have closed for requirements to
July. In steel making iron a few orders aggre-
hating q very large tonnage were closed
during the past week with furnaces In the
central West. The markets for Eastern basic
are active. Most producers Of basic and gray
forge are we'll sold far ahead.
