during the months of October and
November.
The remaining six are TO be OF the
Pacific passenger type, and are or
dered by the Norfolk & Western
Railway. These passenger enednes
will be the largest OF their kind, and
are designed to produce tremendous
traction power combined with speed
running over sixty miles an hour
The Norfolk & Western engines are

the management OF the works Is in
augurating new wage system
which from the economic standpoint
Is OF great advantage to both the
workers as well as to the men en-
ployed.
This new system does away with
all piece work and its many annoy
ing complications, establishing in It's
stead fiat time rate with extra pay
added as an incentive for unusual
efficiency. BY this system more
money on the average is paid to the
men, but on the other hand mach
better results are attained
