ARE OPPOSED TO MARTIN BILL
Measure for Clearance of Cars Would
Be Costly to Railroads.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 30.-Compliance
with the provisions of q single bill
pending before congress would mean a
total cost to 100 railroads of the coun-
try of the huge sum of $444,0OO, 900,
according to statistician in the en-
ploy of one Of the Chicago railroads.
The bill in question, which was intro
duced by Congressman Martin and has
been Endorsed in a general way by
President Taft, is designed to insure
greater safety by regulating the ''clear-
ance" of cars and locomotives in pass
ing through tunnels, viaducts, rock
cuts, ETC., maximum dimensions being
specified.
OF the total amount which 1t is
claimed the railroads would have to
spend to comply with the proposed
law, $7,5O0,00O would be for bringing
the equipment within the limits pre-
scribed and the remainder to remove
or enlarge structures and tunnels. The
railroads are preparing to fight the bill,
and for once they will have the CO.
operation of some of the big shippers
associations. The shippers are against
the measure, because it would prevent
the use of big cars.

TRA1NNIEN GET 10 PER CENT.
Over $4,000 Men on Fifty Railroads
Affected by Increase.

Chicago, Dec. SO.-Conductors and
trainmen on fifty railroads running

been granted a fiat increase in wages
of 10 per cent. The increase was
granted after months negotiation
and affects $4,000 members of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and
the Order of Railway Conductors and
will mean an added expense of $5,O0O,-
900 a year to the railroads. The in
crease becomes effective at once.
Canadian trainmen will be affected,
the employees of the Canadian North
ern being represented in the confer
ence. The employees of this road are
in the peculiar position of being
granted a raise for which they had
not asked. When the move for an in
crease was begun, the Canad< n
Northern employees refused to join,
fearing the defeat of the plan.
The management of the road. how
ever co-operated with the other roads

IMPROVES NEAR WELLINGTON
Motor Cars On All Sections-New Pile
Drivers.

Wellington, Kan, Dec. 3e.-That
this division of the Santa Fe will soon
be one of the best equipped divisions
of any railroad In the United States,
chinery is arriving every day to place
the equipment used over the division
the best that can possibly be obtained
by a railroad for its service.
One of the improvements is the in
stalling of motor cars on all the Sec
lions. At the present time there are
six motor cars in use on this division
and it is reported that as fast as pos
sible more cars will be installed. To-
day w. H. Cleveland, road master, and
A. HammOnS, motor car expert for the
Santa Fe, are testing out a new motor
car on the Caldwell branch. These
cars have the capacity of handling five
tons and it is believed by the officials
of the road that more work can be OBJ
tanned from the men and better work
after the car is in use. The men can
get on the car and arrive at their
work as fresh as they left the tool
house.
Another improvement to be placed
here is a self-propelling pile driver.
This piece Of machinery, besides be-
ing powerfu3 work, IS handsome in
itself. 1t is a great Improvement over
the old style pile driver. 1t handles
itself and all the material that is need
ed in its use. 1t pulls two cars after
it and on these cars is carried the ma
terial. 1t does away with the extra
crew necessary to care for 1t when on
the road. It's own propelling power
takes the place of the extra engine
Other improvements in the way of
better facilities in caring for wrecks
are fast coming here to be used over
this division. This new machinery
and quicker service in clearing
wrecks.

fore he entered the navy, when he

satisfactory and efficient administra-

say that the best wishes of his numer-
GUS friends and acquaintances will ac-
