and the warm affection of the mon with whom he had served so faithfully and s0 long. the day came when fbera had to be q final parting Two hundred of the men were pushing fresh In. dian trail when Old Jack, going ar An easy gallop. put his foot into q gophar hole and broke a fore leg. Two hun. dred men groaned aloud at the sight of the poor beast standing there in the shadow of certain death. There was neither water nor grass for miles around. and. anyhow, the wolves would pull him down after a few hours. and he deserved a better death And vel DO one could be found willing 10 kill him
 Strip off the saddle and shoot him.
 That was the order that came back from the head of the column, and that was the order given by Captain K. to Sergeant B. The saddle was removed. and. although Old Jack must have been suffering intense pain. he did not utter a sigh. only his eyes seemed to open a little wider than usual. and he appeared somewhat worried and anx- lous as be looked around.
 Captain. l can't do it; simply can. not" replied the sergeant. Give that order to some one else"
 A second and a third man were named, but all asked to be relieved of the unpleasant duty. Then a corporal stepped out and placed the muzzle of bis revolver to Old Jacks ear. but hundred men shouted in chorus, and he did not pull the trigger.
 "Compliments of Colonel C.. with orders to shoot that horse at once" announced messenger from the front
 Sergeant B.. put that poor beast out of his misery" ordered the cap tain

 Hurry up. Can't you see that the bone is broken square off"
 ''It'S the same thing as murder"
 Poor Old Jack was rubbing his nose against the sergeants left hand and whimpering as if he would inquire what il was all about The face of every man present was turned away. and many stopped their ears 10 shut out the sound of the revolver No one looked as the revolver cracked. and the column moved on it's way
 Looking straight ahead and with a suspicious quivering of the chin. the sergeant was beard to whisper

PROTECTING The
RAILROAD MEN
Conference With P. R. R.
Master Mechanic About
the Seniority Rule

A committee Of the Brotherhood
OF Railway Mechanics met with J..
Davis master mechanic on the Phila-
delphia division OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad yesterday TO discuss the re-
cent lay-on of the Harrisburg shop
men In connection with the company's
order TO reduce operating expenses all
along the line.
Although Just what business was
transacted was not announced By
either side, 1t was stated that the sub
lect OF seniority was the most import
ant question brought up: IL has been
claimed by the men that the seniority
rule was violated when the 300 shop
men were furloughed during the past
ten days.
The brotherhood of Railway Me-
chanics has gained considerable
strength Ia Wilmington and vicinity
during the past year, in fact the
brotherhood Is springing up at prac-
tically all OF the important terminal
points They have. however, never
made any binding agreement with the
PennsN Nlvania Railroad Company, re
garding the seniority rule as have th,
big organizations and when the recent
E WAN'N W. ''NAA'AAN MAh iNnh'Nf NV
attention was paid to IL by the Local
officials. II is alleged.
Men who were in the service for az
much as ten and fifteen years were
laid of, while others who have nof
been with the company for more thar
a year were retained. The Brother.
hood OF Railway Mechanics suffered
considerable by the reduction in forces
and IL Is claimed by many of the mel
that this action was taken by tn
railroad 10 weaken the brotherhood
/ II is expected, however, that some un
dcrstandlng viii be reached as a re
suit Of the conference with Master Me
( chanic Davis yesterday.
Representative OF the Brotherhoo,
of Railway Mechanics have met will
I the committees from the four BIZ
brothcrhoods, and It is understood
they received considerable encourage
ment.
All of the employees in the motiv
/ power department. which includes al
of the engine aud car repair shops
are eligible TO membership In tn
brotherhood OF Railway Mechanics
This is the only department on tn

vanderlip. president Of the National
City Bank Of New York, who is en-
gagged in an inspection of two Yoak-
um-Hawley lines, the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas and the st. Louis
and San Francisco, and the Hartman
railroad properties, Of which he is a
director, says the rate ruling Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
would probably result in a reduction
of wages. "The decision OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission was a
surprise and disappointment to rail-
road officers. When wage increases
we're allowed to employees last fall
and winter the railroads we're conf
dent that the requested increase in
freight rates would be allowed by the
commission. The freight traffic now
is 10 per cent. less than it was a year
ago II this continues, OF course, the
decrease in income must be met even
if il extends to reduction in the num-
Der Of employees or in wages"
