MEN RUNNING TRAINS
WORK TOO MANY HOURS
This Found to Be the Case With
Those Operating Block
System of B. & o.

WASHINGTON. January Ito
days inquiry by the Interstate Com
merce Commission into the block signal
system on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad showed that men engaged In
the operation Of trains work an ex-
cessive number of hours without a
sufficient period Of rest intervening. It
was discovered that no restrictions are
placed upon the hours traInmeu shall
work, and that they take ADVANTAGE OF
the opportunity offered to labor for
many hours in order TO increase their
compensation
An instance was given where an en-
Eineer had worked for thirty-six hours
and had no rest during that time. The

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-Bound

night through phosphorescent sea of
such brilliance that the atmosphere
was lighted up for many ships lengths
in every direction, though the night
was dark up to the moment the ami
malculae were encountered.
The sea was slightly disturbed at
the time, and the tiny whitecaps,
breaking in silvery light, produced a
beautiful picture. Again off Point Rey-
.es the Rosecrans was in a phosphores-
cent sea, on this occasion great spots
of light appearing on the water on all
sides of the vessel and Illuminating
the depths far below the surface
