PASSENGERS OWED
LIVES TO ENGINEER

New York. Aug. Passengers on the
westbound Portland flyer of the Long
Island railroad did not know that their
lives had been saved by the engineer
Yesterday They knew, however, that
the train stopped very suddenly be-
tween Northport and Greenlawn
What was the NATTER" asked a
passenger of Conductor Thompson
Fly on the track" responded
Thompson
But ii was more than a fly on tha
track Engineer Davis was keeping a
sharp lookout ahead after the train
left Northport, when he saw a light
deviation in a rail nearly half a mile
distant He shut off steam and as the
train drew nearer saw couple of
spikes sticking out. The rail was loose,
The cow-catcher was less than five
feet from the loose rail when the loco
motive stopped and Conductor Thomp-
son turned pale when he realized how
close his passengers had come to be-
ing rolled down the steep bank at that
point
The spikes we're driven home again
and as the train proceeded. the pas
sengers resumed the reading OF their
papers, with no lnkling of their danger

ARMY CLOTHING.
Manufacturers of the West Protest 10
War Department.

Chicago. Aug. Manufacturers Of
the west have found new ammunition
In their fight against the methods en-
ployed by the war department in
awarding contracts for army clothing
Following its protest last month
against the action OF the department
in constituting central board OF
umpires at Philadelphia To pass upon
all bids. the Illinois Manufacturers
association has registered new COM
plant.
1t is based on the new department
regulation that all bidders for con-
tracts to make army clothing shall
deposit with the central board a spe-
cial 20-yard sample.
The protest, which is incorporated
In letter sent by Secy. John NJ. Glenn
of the association, to Secy. OF War
Wright, is couched in vigorous terms.
The department is criticized severe
ly for It's alleged discrimination
against certain bidders.
Another feature OF the protest is the
claim that the new regulation prac-
tically Is equivalent to the establish
Ing of a Corner I'm the making Of
army clothing. as the expense OF maxi
ing the sample Is prohibitive to most
manufacturers.
This, It Is claimed. will result in the
placing Of the contract In the hands
OF one manufacturer,
In the western manufacturers first
protest against the creation Of the
Philadelphia board II was claimed
that the eastern bidders thus were
given big tactical advantage over
western manufacturers
II was contended that It was hard
ship for middle western companies to
submit samples, so far from their
business.
Insinuations also were made to
the effect that the war department de-
liberately was arranging matters SO
eastern firms would get all the big
contracts.
