HISTORY OF The ORDER
For Years 1t Has Been Very
Flourishing.
Telegraph Operators Experieuc ce
Much Trouble Because Of High
Winds Railroad News.

In view OF the fact that large
number of locomotive engineers in
this city are intending to attend the
eighth biennial convention OF the
order in Columbus May 10, the fol-
lowing notes of the history of the or
lganization will be of interest. The
convention Will be big one and will
last for several days. Seven hundred
Representatives OF the order will be
present with their families, making
an aggregate of 5000 people. The
order embraces 10000 active and hard
working engineers. or the history
of the organization the Gallon Leader
says:
| "This great organization dates back
A years. In the spring OF 1868, few
J lengineers in the employ of the Mich
igan Central railroad, who realized
that their profession was one in
which the highest standards of both
physical and moral manhood was re-
lquired, conceived the idea of forming
an association to promote the welfare
of the profession. Later in the same
year, 12 engineers for the Michigan
Central and neighboring roads met
ltual benefit. This was the thin end
of the wedge. The association, first
named Brotherhood of the Foot
board" and rechristened with this
present name a year later, gradually
emerged from this origin until at
present its membership includes 80
lper cent OF the locomotive engineers
on this contempt. Year by year its

men in the profession, year by year

and early in the existence OF tn
brotherhood such a system was es
tablishsed. Life and accident po
icies for $500 at cost OF from ~
to $25 year are for sale to mem
bers, and each man has the priv
ilege OF carrying one, two and thre

have died without insurance. In
number of divisions also, weekly

still another development in the
Organization came in 1887 when
number of engineers wives banded
themselves together in Chicago under
the name of Grand International
Auxiliary, b. l.. Il. Noble in senti-
ment and purpose as the brotherhood
had been before this addition, it was
now immeasurably improved, in that
social relations were encouraged by
the influence of the women The
lauxlliary started with 10 members and
in 20 years has grown to member
lship OF 10000. Insurance Is also q
feature of this branch and nearly
10000 policies are carried.

of an educational nature, to be held

sessions of the convention will be
held. Excursions to the various
parks and to surrounding towns will
also be made. Among entertainments
that will be of interest to railroaders
Twill be those conducted by the West
Iinghouse Locomotive works. Both
Twill be in the nature of stereopticon
talks, illustrating the development OF
railroading in general, and of loco
motives in particular.

gram will be the ball which will be
held on the evening OF May IA, the
day after the delegates arrive. Ar
Irangements are being made on al
