LACKAWANNA STRIKE.
Eighty Per Cent of the Switchmen
Ready to Walk Out.

Scranton. Pa, July 31.-Grand
Master Hawley of the Switchmen's
union announced today that 80 per
cent of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western railroad men have voted for
a strike and that the grievance COM
mittee is now awaiting a reply from
President Trusdale to a letter sent
last night requesting a conference to
effect a settlement before the COM
mittee takes up the question of order
ing the men out.
John J. Morr. president of the
United Railway Mems organization
who was reported to have left New
York last night for this city, could not
be located here today. Mr.. Hawley
stated that the Lackawanna switchmen
have no utilization with any federation
except the American federation of la
Dor. The story told by Morey of a
probable sympathetic strike on six
roads is not regarded seriously by the
local switchmen.
Speaking of the controversy over

CODE OF DISCIPLINE.
Pennsylvania Road Has Inaugurated
New Method.


The Pennsylvania railroad has in
augurated the plan of giving publicity
to cases of discipline by posting on
employees bulletin boards statements
of the offenses and the punishment ad-
ministered. Though it is the practice
of the company in imposing discipline
always to consider the previous rec
ord of the employe as mitigating or
magnifying the offense, nevertheless
interesting comparisons are afforded
by the BULLETIN of Discipline just
posted on the Philadelphia terminal
division.
An employee detected stealing was
dismissed: one who gave misleading
statements in connection with securing
leave of absence was suspended ten
days; others for failing to make
proper inspection of and repairs to
rolling stock were suspended four
days.
BY far the most drastic punishment
is melted out to those who. through
negligence or violation of rules bring
about a situation which may endanger
the lives of employees or patrons of the
railroad. although no injury or DAM
age may actually occur. An employe
who disregarded a signal in the dam
ger position was suspended forty-two
DAYS: another was suspended thirty
days for carelessness in not attending
to his duties resulting in damage to
equipment. Numerous firemen. who.
by careless firing of engines, burned
excessive coal and caused unnecessary
smoke, were suspended for two days

extensive plans for the equipment of

Pacific coast, and all repairs and new
work for the western end of the road
will be handled by them. AS many
men will be employed as in the North
ern Pacific shops in South Tacoma.
The companys general Office build
ing will cost between 100000 and
100000. The present value of the
property is estimated at 100000, A

with headquarters here and full
charge of the western end of the Pa

Improvements planned for the
roads main tidewater terminal on
Puget Sound will give the St. Paul the
best dock and wharf facilities owned
by any road on the coast, it is said.
The construction is planned of nearly
four miles of docks and wharves. The
private waterway will be completed
early next spring. and the docks will
be ready for shipping as soon as the

ENGLEMAN PROMOTED.
Leayenworth Oficial to New Yorl
Hartman Office


Leavenworth, Kan. July 31.-H. M.
Engleman, who since January, 1902,
has been assistant treasurer and audi
tor of the L. K. & w. railway, re-
ceived orders today to report in New
York city at the earliest possible mo-
ment to take a responsible position in
the executive offices of the Union Pa
cific road.
During his six years residence here
Mr.. Engleman has placed himself
high in the estimation of the local
business men and his family has oc-
cupied a prominent social position.
While his many friends will regret to
lose such good citizen all will
rejoice at the honor which has been
conferred on Mr.. Engleman. He
is man of great ability and his
habits are such as to win him the
confidence of his employers. Those
who think that big railroad magnates
are not watching their employees for
good men are mistaken as is evil
denced every day.
Mr.. Engleman has worked for the
Union Pacific railroad since 1886
and mas been steadily climbing up
honor that was conferred on him
here was the office of secretary and
treasurer of the Union Depot Co,
here, which position he has held for
the past three years.
Mr.. Engleman has been busy the
past few weeks auditing the ac-
counts and cleaning up the business
of the old Tx. & W., Office and
expected to finish by the 10th of the
month. A man has been detailed
from Omaha to complete this work.

RAILROAD news.
Great Western Makes Discour-
aging Showing.
Barely Makes Enough to Main
tain Operating Expenses.
BREAK ABOUT EVEN.
Horace G. Burt Employed to
Suggest Improvements.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

A statement of earnings issued by
the Chicago Great Western road for
eleven months of its last fiscal year
does not appear to have many encour-
aging features. Gross earnings for the
period decreased by $S75.331, or 1850
per cent, while operating expenses
showed an actual increase of s2s3I71.
or 800 per cent. making the loss in net
earnings for the eleven months period
81, 113.502 or 49.5S per cent.
A peculiar condition of affairs is
shown for the last month of the period
under consideration. In May the road
did not earn much, over its operating
expenses. The ratio of the latter was
1917 per cent of gross earnings. OF
this the cost of conducting transporta-
ton constituted 4S.15 per cent: MAIN
tenance of way and structure, 17.12 per
cent, and maintenance of equipment
22.66 per cent. All of these were alb
normally high, nothing like them hav-
ing been maintained by the road dur
ing any former part Of the fiscal year.
The highest maintenance of way for
any other month in the year was in
April when it amounted to 13 per cent
of gross earnings. In March the ratio
was less than ~ per cent The main
tenance of equipment ratio has ranged
around II or Is per cent for eight
months of the fiscal year. In February
the cost of conducting transportation
exceeded the May record. The ratio
for that month was "a per cent of gross
earnings. The ratio of the cost of con-
Quoting transportation for the entire
previous fiscal year was $50 per cent
of gross earnings.
From the eleven months statement,
taken as a whole. it is estimated that
the road will just about break even
for the year. 1t may have a small sur
plus after all charges have been met,
but any there may be will be less than
100000. which would fall far short of
paying the dividends on the per cent
debenture stock outstanding. to the
amount of $2S,127 ,0S9, the dividends on
which would require s1.125,0S4.
This debenture stock is of the same
nature as bonds, but IL any attempt
were to be made to pay the dividend
on these securities it would leave the
road with a deficit for the year Of near
1y 1000, 900. Nor has the road any ac-
cumulated profit and loss surplus to
fall back upon. At the close of the
fiscal year which ended on June 30,
1907 there was only 1867. 161 left in it's
treasury after the obligations of the
year had been met.
In view of this. unfavorable showing,
the hope is expressed that Horace G.
Burt, formerly president of the Union
Pacific. who has been employed by the
European holders of the roads securi-
ties to investigate and report on its
condition, will be able to make recon-
mendations that will point the way
out of it's present difficulties.
