B. & o. SHOPS FLOURISHING
New Boiler Being Placed, More Power
Added, Shops Being Painted and
Other Work on the increase.
From The World OF Monday:

From The World OF Monday
II looks as If prosperity had struck
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad shops
in this city. The whole place has had
a good spring cleaning. The painters
are now at work painting all the wood
work about the buildings This will
not only add 20 the appearance of the
big shops but 1t will help to preserve
them On the interior OF the buildings
the walls will be white-washed and all
the window glass is being given a
good cleaning. When this part of the
work Is complicated things will look
very bright and inviting.
1t has been said that things look
prosperous around the shops, but IL
YOU were to go through just now and
see the men at work you would think
there was nothing doing. The men are
not at work today in the machine
shops. This is not due to the fact that
there is no work. The fact is that
there is so much work that there is
not power enough to take care OF it,
and one of the old boilers has been
taken out and a new one is being put
in place. This will give 225 horse
power and will enable them to get out
more work. 1t is expected that one
heller will be ready by tomorrow, when
some of the men will resume work
and the full force is expected to be at
work Wednesday morning. New
stacks are being put up and this part
OF. the shop being made so as to take
care of any work that may come In.
In the hand car department a moter
is being installed and some wood
working machinery will be put in so
that they will be able to turn out more
work. One or two other motors will
be dded to the equipment. Last
month new machine was put in the
shops to help with he work and prep
arations are being made to put in a
big planer in the frog and switch de-
partment. More machiner will fol-
low and the work will he increased
as the equipment is improved.
Several men were added to the force
last uiOuth anu IL 10 timely ludt duuf
tional help will be required before the
present month is out. Mr.. ]. w. Bar
ker, on the first of the month took
charge of the force that handles the
heavy iron and bridge work on the
outside.
Last month the force turned out the
biggest piece of work since Mr.. Brant-
ner has been in charge, it was rush
job and consisted of bridge 1856 feet
in length for use on the road near Bal
timore. The work was to be finished
by the first of May and Mr.. Brantner's
force was there almost to the minute.
The work here is increasing and it
is said that Mr.. Thompson, who is at
the head of the department, is much
pleased with he way things are going.

for the night when in response to a
frantic telephone message from two
well known young ladies, he arose,
and took up the search for the three
youngsters who had been left in care
of the young ladies. After searching
in every conceivable place in vain, the
night officers services were finally

time, all unmindful of the commotlon
