r. r. UNIONS HAVE WON.
Organized Labor's Growing Power il
Congress Proved.

The adoption by the house, of the Lo-
comotive Boiler Inspection Bill previous
Ily passed by the senate. is considered a
remarkable victory by members of the
labor lobby who have. Witnessed in the
past the bitter opposition to this meas
ure displayed by the railroad corpora
tions.
Chairman Mann of the interstate and
foreign commerce committee reported to
the house that there had been a practi-
cal agreement between the representa-
tives OF the Railroad Brotherhoods. Boil
ermakers and attorneys for the railroad
corporations, as to the framing Of this
bill. and as the measure stood. was &C
ceptable TO them all.
This sudden complacency on the part
of the railroad corporations TO a measure
that they had through several sessions
of congress smothered with objections
and abuse. can only be attributed to one
thing. namely. the companies deadly
fear of the working agreement which
has lately been entered into between the
Railroad Brotherhoods and the Boiler
makers International union. 1t was this
practical amalgamation among the rail
road workers that forced the agreement
on the locomotive boiler Inspection bill;
the most important provisions of which
are as follows:
chief inspectors are to be appointed by
the president. and. in addition. the inter
state commerce commission are to ap-
point 30 inspectors who shall have
passed a civil service examination quail
flying them as experts in boiler inspec-
ton. These inspectors shall have the
power to declare locomotive boiler un-
it for service.
But the great good that will come from
this new law is that an engineer can
make complaint as to the dangerous con-
dition of his locomotive boiler direct to
an inspector and obtain immediate pro,
lection for his life that under the old
company system had to be risked or the
employe would lose his job.
Even now, before the final enactment
of the law. It is reported by locomotive
engineers that boilers are being every
where repaired to meet the coming of
the inspectors.

HITCHCOCK coRNERED.
r. r. Mail Clerks Decline Postmaster
Generals Offer.

The storm of public protest raised by
the railway mail clerks over the unnec-
|essary hard service forced upon them by
the postmaster-general at Washington.
ID. C.. has compelled that high officiai to
attempt to make terms with the rebels
and to this end he has issued orders that
hereafter, on all heavy lines, the stand
ard of hours will be reduced from 6Is
to hours, and, in some cases, to hours
and 40 minutes a day.
This decision was arrived at after a
long conference between the postmaster
general and ]. T. Canfeld. president of
the Railway Mail Clerks association, and
P. J. Schardt, vice-president II was also
agreed that in addition to the pay for
regular scheduled hours of trains, rail
way mail clerks are to get pay for the
time they put in working in mail cars
before leaving terminals: for delivering
mail at the end of the runs; for going
to postoffices after, and with registered
mail. and for deays TO trains. In addi-
ton, Postmaster-General Hitchcock prom
ised that on railway lines where the old
allowance of pay showed an average of
IL hours day only, the extra time nee
essary to make up pay checks and time
slips would be made up out of the credits
that are given for other work. such as
going to the postoffice with registered
mail and the like.
AT a meeting of the local railway mail
clerks organization at the chamber OF
commerce Monday night, resolutions
were adopted demanding that steel cars
be furnished on all railroads to take the
place of wooden cars. Similar resolu-
tions have been adopted in many cities
of the country. 1t was stated that if
something was not done soon to give the
men relief a concerted movement, which
had for its object the refusal of all
clerks TO work in wooden cars, would
follow in the course of year.
A resolution was adopted favoring the
establishment of a division of the rail-
way mail service. Urban A. Walter, edi-
tor of the Harpoon, a former clerk.
whose exposure of the defects of the
railway mail service has caused wide
comment. was the principal speaker. He
told the men that concerted action was
necessary if they expected to make any
headway
