RAILROAD MEN
IN BIG CRUSADE.
Strikes to Be Discountenanced and APP
peal Made Direct to Congress-For
Shorter Hours of Work.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 10
Organized workmen on all of the rail
roads of the country will pub
licly discountenance strikes and appeal
directly to Congress for the passage of
a law making eight hours constitute
days work on ali railroads, according
to George w. Sturmer of this city, past
grand master of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, who has returned
from weeks mission to Washington,
where he saw President Roosevelt
For the advancement of this effort
movement is now on foot to affiliate all
of the various unions of railroad en-
ployes into one gigantic federation.
President with Them
president Roosevelt has assured us
De his support for a shorter work day
FOR railroad employees" said Mr.. Stur-
mer I'm fact, he made that recommen-
dation feature of his recent message
to Congress. He is himself an honorary
member of the brotherhood of Locomo-t
tive Firemen and has declared himself
an advocate of safety first and speed
Rfterward."
A law will be requested making eight
hours Or Il 10O-mile run constitute al
days work, employees to be paid for 100
miles for anything over an eighty mile
run.
Eyes Are a Union Issue.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 15.-Is the
Brotherhood of Railway Engineers try
ing to force the railroads of the coun-
try into an agreement which will pls ce
unsafe men on many of the fast pass en-
ger trains of the country?
This question has arisen by a demand
which the brotherhood is making on ey-
cry railway management in the United
States, and which is being bitterly OPP
posed by operating officials. The trouble
arises over sight and color tests
The demand of the engineers is
couched III the following terms:
Engineers in service VIII not be required
to submit to physical examination, except
rs follows: Sight and color test to be made
by the flags, lamps and signals used in the
daily operation of trains, with or without
glasses, for distance or reading. Distance
not to exceed 1000 feet for semaphore arms
or lights and 600 feet for hand lamp or flag
signals. Any engineer whose eyes are not
diseased and who can be fitted with glasses
which will bring his sight up to practically
q normal test, shall be retained in the sery-
ice and shall hold his run.
Reason for Demand.
The meat in the cocoanut is to be
found in the statement made recently
by an official of the brotherhood that
unless such an agreement was made at
least 5000 engineers would very soon
be affected in their positions.

Willing to Help if Possible.

We know of only one case on our line in
North Dakota where there has been serious
difficulty and believe that has been relieved.
The very serious blizzard of the last few
days i'll North Dakota has caused delays
because of snow blockadcs and it is difficult
to move freight promptly for that section
| will be glad if you will name in dctnii
complaint i'll territory served by our lines
SO that we may take up each one and do
the best we can to furnish relief. We have
in 4 number of cases turned over company
coal to protect local demands and we are
doing everything we can to take care Of
the situation and will continue to do so
