RAILROADS NEED 100000 MEN.
Big Systems Assist School for Train
ing Future Employees of Lines.

Chicago, Aug 4-"The railroads Of the
United States need 100000 more men to
enable them to conduct the operation
ara the transportation as they should be
cO11ucted."
This statement was made by +. S. Nor
daunt, and it accounts for the establish
ment of a school of raiIroading. A dozen
OF the biggest railway systems Of this
country are back of the school.
Its purpose is TO try TO supply the 200,0oO
shortage which Mr.. Mordaunt declares
exists in the supply Of men for the rail-
roads Of the country.
To do this the most complete facilities
are to be furnished by corporations, so
that young men acquire the rudiments Of
the railroad operation necessary to enable
them to obtain a railroad position.
In carrying out the plan, these rail-
roads are to spend several hundred thou
sand dollars annually, and their sole hope
is that the supply in the railroad labor
market eventually may be made neces-
sariIy commensurate with the demand. An
effort has been made also TO placate the
labor unions.
If the student passes his examination
with mark of 70 or better, he will be guar
anteed an immediate trial for ten days
by one Of the railroads. and a position if
the trial proves satisfactory.

the demands of the governor that the

sion shall be put IN effect not later
than October l, having agreed in confer
ence not 10 do so. il is a fact that they
are satisfied with the result.
It was learned to-day that the apparent
inactivity of the members of the cor
poration commission 10 violate the in
junction granted the railways by the
Federal court or to request the governor
to call a special session Of the legisla-
ture was because Of the advice Of coun-
sci, who desired to have the matter take
its course through the courts.
It had been decided, however. that an
extra session should be called, and 1t was
10 thwart this determination that a meet
ing of the heads of the railway systems
operating in Virginia was held in New
York yesterday and the determination to
submit 10 the will of the people agreed
upon.
The grievance of the people OF Virginia
is that the railroads had granted the de-
mands of the people Of North Carolina
for a 2A-ceAt fare. while Virginia was still
being held up by d Federal Injunction.
The arrangement as agreed upon last
night is highly satisfactory 10 the people
of the State. The railways are TO at once

mony pending the trial of the suit. this

Mrs, Mullins finds that her board bill
absorbs the 81, and she asked for SO with
which to buy hats. shoes. and other
things Mullins attorney opposed the ap-
plication, on the ground that there was
nothing 10 shoy that after paying the 81

To this the young wOman's attorney re-
piled that Mullins could get all the money
he needed. and that he is at present living
