NEW FUEL SAVING DEVICE.
Air Brake Steam Exhaust Pipe Out
side of Smoke Stack

Chicago, Nov 24.-one hundred
and fifty locomotives of the Lehigh
Valley railroad have been equipped with
new fuel saving device. which is ex-
pected to prove of value to railroads
throughout the country. Economy in
fuel has been for many years one of
the great problems for railroad Off
Gals, so that great interest is attach
ed to this new device. On all locomo-
lives there are air brake pumps oper-
ated by steam, and it has been the
practice to conduct the exhaust steam
from the pumps to the "smoke box. :"
to which the stack is attached, and
there release it. The effect is to create
p draft on the fire. Since much of the
work of the brake pumps is done when
the locomotive is at standstill, or
going down grade, this means that
fuel is consumed uselessly.
The new arrangement is simply to
carry the exhaust steam pipe outside,
instead of inside the smoke stack. The
piping is CARED forward in the usual
manner, then upward around the
smoke box and is clamped against the
stack A 4-inch pipe, 1 5 inches long,
is used to muff1e the sound.

by Council Committee.

AFRAID OF OUTCOME.
Mayor Green Says Taxpayers
Feared Petition.
Thought Firemen Would Not
Protect Their Property.

According to the statements made by
Mayor Green in the meeting of the
ways and means committee of the city
council last night at which time the
increase of the salaries of the firemen
came up for consideration, the 400
heaviest taxpayers in the city of To-
peka who petitioned that the salaries
be raised did not know what they were
doing-they were men who did not
know any more about the affairs of the
city than a school child.
Further the mayor stated before this
committee that the taxpayers who sign
ed this petition were tfbulldozed'' into It.
Suppose fireman came to a man with
a great big stock of goods and asked
him to sign that petition-he couldn't
help but do it. He would be afraid to
refuse

against the boost in salaries Of the fire.
men the mayor said that the increase
of these salaries would place the
finances of the city in a startling deficit
column at the end of the year He has
it figured out that Topeka would be
$50, 900 to the bad if the salaries Of the
firemen were raised
I'VE are not talking about the merits
of the question: said the mayor. 1--WE
must see that it is not expedient to
raise these salaries. We haven't any

as has been stated. 1 have talked to

to care what We do-they realize that
the council will do what is best"
Mayor Green presented four letters
to the firemen from other cities about
the size of Topeka. Three of the
cities were in the east. The other was
Wichita. Wichita pays averages ten
dollars a month more than Topeka.
The other three cities averaged a little
below the Topeka standard. But,
said Councilman Howard, ''all of the
eastern salaries are lower than the
vest. The eastern wage scale as A

last night. The ways and means com
mittee decided to wait for two weeks
and then the letters from the other
cities will be on hand for a COMPARE
son. The supporters of the western
cities are anxious for the letters to ar
rive. Those against the raise are con-
tending that Topeka doesn't care what
other cities do. It was suggested at
enc time that the argument be sent to
the council where it should be thresh-
ed out. In this case the firemen
would have won with colors flying
but action on the part of the commit
tee was deferred for two weeks.
Those who fought the proposition
last night were Mayor Green, Council
man Hughes and Councilman Drew.
Those for it were councilmen Howard,
rest of of the councilmen who hap
rened to be present to listen to the
battle.
The policemen figured prominently
7. the scrap last night: Mayor Green
contended that the police and firemen
were on a level now as far as salaries
were concerned and they should stay
that way. He said that the policemen
would raise a howl if the f1remen were
given more money. Councilman How
ard reminded the mayor that the po-
lice force received a big raise last
spring and the f1remen did not howl at
his time. 1t was also brought out that
a fireman works "a hours and a po-
The point was brought out by Coun-
Gilman Howard that the best men in
the fire department were resigning and
seven of them have left the service on
account of the low wage scale. ct don't
take any stock in this resignation bust
ness" said Mayor Green. I'VE will al
ways have good enough men for that
work. I have little fear of any of the
f1remen throwing up their jobs. Then
why didn't the policemen resign--the
policemen are as good as the firemen
and they could make just as good fire.
men as the men we haye?"
All the way through the meeting
which lasted for about two hours and
a half the arguments were cast about
thick and fast and in some cases the
bitterness was intense. Councilman
Howard and the mayor entered into
several disputes and grumblings and
murmurings followed. Those who were
doped as against the proposition were
there in force and the councilmen for
it still stick to their arguments. If
brought to an open meeting of the
council the firemen would receive their
salaries in a minute. But there Is
grave danger in the ways and means
committee.
