MAYOR RAPs COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
FOR ACTION IN THE PAUPER CASES
TELEPHONES IN
TRAIN DISPATCHING
The Pennsylvania Railroad
Finds the System Most
Satisfactory.
aflSfacfOTV

1t is a curious coincidence that the
telegraph operator himself is indirectly
responsible for the revolution that bids
fair to make junk of the teiegraphic
paraphernalia used in connection with
railroad work.
The PENNSYLVANIA road officials were
wise enough TO foresee when the agita-
ton OF the telegraph operators for bet
ter wages, shorter hours, etc, was at
its height that a strike OF operators
could come near TO rendering a rail-
road inert and they began to look about
for other means OF dispatching trains.
The Pennsylvania system now leads
in this work and is fast getting in
shape to cut loose from the telegraph
altogether and dispatch all its trains
by telephone. according TO an official of
that road now in FL Paso. The in
stalation of the telephone, then, was
not a remedial measure but prevent
i've one. The telegraphers on that road
are among the highest paid in the coun-
try and an increase of percent in
wages will be made on May I.
Even on the Pennsylvania, the tele-
graph force is still at the keys and will
not be removed until the results justify
the road in discarding the telegraph
instruments and then the employees will
not be deeply affected. as many will be
The device used by the Pennsylvania
is a Bell invention, and is call the Gill
Selector system, though experiments
are also being conducted with the Sand
witch device, of the Sandwich Electric
company. of Sandwich, Ill BY the Gill
system, a, conductor may communicate
with the train dispatcher by phone at
stated points along the line where
phone booths are installed, or he can
connect his caboose phone with the wire
at any point \
The various stations along the line
are numbered, the distinctive feature
of the Gill system is that the train dis
patcher may communicate with several
stations az one and the same time. a
single connection ringing the big gongs
at the station wanted. For instance if
the train dispatcher at + desired to call
the stations numbered g. s and 10, he
would simply make the connection as in
the case Of an exchange The connec-
ton would be registered on a dial and
the hand of the register would move to
5, hesitate, and then move TO and 10.
He then communicates into the trans
mitter and the station farthest away
would repeat the message. The bells in
the stations in the offices are six-inch
gongs, called tie Moore gong, and
there is no possibility that they will not
be heard, as a bell continues to ring I'M
Ill the receiver has been taken off the
hook.
The telephone is being used on the
Pittsburg division, the Delaware dfvis-
ion and on the Jersey and Seashore di-
vision Of the Pennsylvania, total of
ABOUT 500 mes. Experiments so far
have proved more than satisfactory.
