because they cannot make distances
between sidings quick enough TO cut
out in time to give the special clear
track.
The man who has paid his good
money for the right to the track does
not expect to be stopped ell route, and
1t becomes the business of the railway
or railways over which he is racing
against time to afford him all the facil-
tiles. Usually in case of such an eX-
traordinary emergency the railway
takes great pride in making a record
run and landing its patron at his des-
tination in time to accomplish his pur-
pose. The best engineers obtainable
and a trustworthy conductor are plac-
ed in charge of the equipment of one
engine and one car, for the running Is
at rate of speed not undertaken in
the passenger service.
Usually the extraordinary passenger
is required to give the railway com,
pany some form of release from re-
sponsibility for loss of life or injury
from accident due to what might be
regarded under ordinary circumstances
as a reckless speed, but the man who
is racing to see loved wife or daugh-
ter or son is always willing to take a
greater risk than at any other time In
his existence. But not only is his own
life, but the lives of the train crew, in
jeopardy during a wild race over the
rails However, on such an occasion
the whole crew is imbued with the
excitement and heroic nature of the
fast mission and contribute in every
way to the fulfillment of the GRAND.
Thousands of dollars have been paid
by private citizens for just such races
with death and sometimes where great
financial crisis is at stake. The rail-
way companies, despite the large homo
rarium received for undertaking such
Journeys, are loath to accept a passen-
ger on these conditions. The crisis
must be one that involves remarkable
stress of mind and money. Usually
their acceptance of such great respon-
sibility both to the single passenger
as we'll as thousands of others who
may be using the tracks at the same
time is governed by a great deal OF
sentiment.-St. Louis Republic.

FOR A SPECIAL TRAIN
Quick Action Is Necessary When
One Is Ordered.
WORK OF THE DISPATCHER.
This Official Has a Complicated Task
In Putting the Special Through
Without Interfering With the Run
nina Time of Other Fast Trains.


Suppose you wished to take a special
trip to any place on the map and the
hour Of your sudden resolution was
a. m. The chances are against know
ing how to make this mastery move
at such an unearthly hour, to say moth
ing of knowing how to go about it
during the hours of business. 1t is
easier than the initiated possibly may
believe. OF course the principal thing
is money, the thing that makes both
the mare and the special train go.
The train dispatcher is the official
who can start the train while his supe-
riors are asleep and when wild eyed
man who has a race against death to
make halfway across the continent
dashes into the station looking for
train that will make the distance on its
own schedule. What the chief dis
patcher wants to be sure about Is the
identity of the applicant for the I'M
usual privilege and in this connection
whether he is able to pay for spe-
cial

make the dispatcher feel very much
like ordering out the train. a deposit
of that amount in his hands will I'M
doubtedly bring the train out in few
minutes after the order is given. Some
times a call on the telephone to the
residence of a well known citizen who
says he will be responsible for the cost
Of ho will tho rpnnirn-
ments of the dispatcher, or the check
of the applicant, if he is well known
citizen is a sufficient guarantee. 1t
can be made large enough to cover the
bill for the special.
In the case of wealthy man who
will let nothing stand in the way OF
accomplishing his purpose the cost or
the train is not a previous considera-
ton. He simply wants to get to GER
tain point at a certain time. Getting
there on time is the uppermost thought
In his mind. He PAGES restessly up
and down the platform until the train
backs into the station or on to the sid
ing where he is notified 1t may be wait
ing for him. Unless he stipulates that
n private car be used in the train he
will get Pullman all by himself or
those who accompany him. The use of
private car costs more, but is pre-
ferred by the wealthy patron. When
everything is ready for embarking the
work of the dispatcher has just begun.
This official must put the special
through without interrupting seriously
the running time of other fast trains.
1t takes some ticklsh work, for the
other trains must he "cut OUT on side
tracks just before the special Is to
pass. In this way the schedules of the
other trains are not broken more than
few minutes. The special dashes
past on the right of way, and the regu-
lar fast train follows it. Freight trains
using the same track are apt to lie ON
the sidings longer than the passengers

WOMEN AND THE VOTE.

(By Mrs. Mary Kenney O'Sullivan.)
Every year more and more women are
going into industry. Why is this?
!. Cost of living is rising, and in
many families the woman's wages are
needed to exc out the family income.
2. The standard of living is rising,
and workingmen's families demand bet
ter conditions, and must have larger
income to meet them.
3. Women living in cities can no
longer help sustain the family by farm
work, dairy work, or by spinning and
weaving; therefore their only ways of
helping provide for the family are
Either to take work home. which in
most cases produces the evil results of
sweatshop work with poor conditions
of work and poorer pay;
Or to go out to work in factory or
shop.
Now, is the womans work a help to
the family in the long run?
Not so long as women are cheap labor.
Every union man knows how danger
GUS and harmful is the competition of
child labor; it is dangerous because it
is cheap, and cuts down the mans
wages.
Women's labor, as long as it is cheap,
is just as dangerous, and for just the
same reason. When women organize and
vote they will get equal pay for equal
work, and they will not longer compete
unfairly with men. The mems wages
will improve, and, though fewer women
will be employed at the higher wages,
this will not be a hardship, because the
increase in the mans wages will give
the family the larger income needed,
without its being necessary for so many
women to work outside the home.

REV. VIM. SUNDAY PRAISES UNION
LABEL.

While delivering a sermon at Indian
apols recently the Rev. William Sun
day, once famous on the diamond as a
great infielder, withdrew his coat and
displayed the union label inside the
pocket to the audience and said:
This is the union label, the emblem
of purity, and no man can sell me a
garment that doesnot bear the label
All religious people sould demand it. If
you have visited the sweat shops and
witnessed the conditions, as ! have done,
you would not let a merchant sell you
anything else. In many instances the en-
tire family are compelled to work at
starvation wages and eat, cook and
sleep in one room which breeds disease
and endangers the life of the public, all
for the greed of gold.

not been for them, men would be work

line. The church must never lose sym

TO DESTROY DOGFISH.

An enormous number of Holsters
crabs, mackerel and soup, to say moth
ing of less valuable fish are DESTROYED
every year by various marine pirates.
foremost among which are two species
of dogtish. If those ruthless and vora-
cious rivals of man could be extermi-
mated, his industry would be more rich
ly rewarded.
A policy which would give a CONNER
cial value to the dogfish, thus furnish
ing an inducement for capturing it is
suggested. The liver of the dogfish
yields several quarts of oil, which is
said to be the equal of Goldfish oil. The
skin may be employed as emory pa
per and also as a covering for such
articles as books and cardcases. The
fins and bones furnish a superior
grade of glue, and as the flesh lacks
the unpleasant flavor which is charac-
teristic of shark flesh it is often eaten.
There is today in Halifax an establish
ment which cans dogfish and sells the
product as ocean whitefish." Finally.
the dogfish can be converted into a fer
tilizer. and factories at which that
business is conducted have recently
been opened in three places in Canada.
Dogfish abound on the Atlantic coast
all the way from Cape Hatteras to the
Maritime Provinces. At least half a
dozen American States are interested
in getting rid of them. but to persuade
the states to cooperate is n task re-
quiring time and trouble.
