AIR BRAKES MUST STAY ON.
PENNSYLVANIA Employees Ordered Not
to Release Brakes.

Pittsburg. Pa. Nov. s.-A general
order issued by the superintendent OF
the different divisions of the Pennsyl-
vania system says that in order to pre-
vent injury to passengers. it is desired
to have all air brakes applied on cars
in a train, while standing at stations
or at sidings en- route over a division,
where a locomotive or car must be
separated for shifting movement. En-
ginemen will, however. stop their
trains and release the air brakes in ac-
cordance with existing Instructions
inspectors or brakemen, after separ-
ating the brake hose and couplings,
and before the locomotive is detached.
will make a service application OF the
brakes by slowly opening thee angle
cock on the car and again closing it
after the brakes have been applied.
When it is necessary to make repairs
of any character to brake rigging,
brake shoes or any part of the trucks.
the cut-out cock on the branch pipe
must also be closed and air pressure
drained from the auxiliary reservoirs.

hard to pN any salary limits for these because
of wide variance, very roughly speaking il can
be said that the former will pay from $50 TO 500
a week and the latter from $50 up TO several
hundred. II depends entirely upon the impor
tance of the part, the success the actor has in
playing il and the company he is with.
Then comes the top rung of the ladder-a
leading woman or leading man. These much
envied individuals can demand large salaries.
In New York they get from $500 or S4OO To
s., 800 week. Ii is said that certain vaudeville
top liners command even more than that, and
IL is true that the best of the vaudeville stars
can demand more money than the highest pad
actor on the legitimate stage.
To summarize briefly, salaries range from Sl5
to 81. 500 week, and there are probably five
hundred to-day drawing from SIS to $40 week
to every one who draws $500.
The stage undoubtedly offers possibilities Of
great financial success, but these small. in
indeed, when compared TO the probabilities Of
obscurty and Of failure.
New-York tribune., 1911-09-16

for their first job they rarely think 10 ask ABOUT
the remuneration they are to receive Tor 'heH
services They will talk endless, gushins nom
eense about artistic temperament ana SO ior'h'
hut il they think about the money part Vi IL d'
all II is only 10 mention il in most CASUAL
incidental way
II is however, interesting to note Just no"
much a girl or a man may reasonably expect 10
,atUhat chances of remuneration stage ca
reer offers At the present time the vast ma
tor,tv of actors have to start in the chorus or
taka some most minor part which necessitates
.orlv the speaking or singing OF a lew lines.
A girl without any previous experience on the
stage ~ she is engaged for the chorus VIII De
nsid from a minimum of SO to an ordinary
ma xipoum Of $50 a week. II all depends upon
how good looking she is and whether she can
do any singing. The average chorus g'fi ses
from s15 to $50 for her first engagement ana
the man engaged for the chorus gets about
the same.
If either can prevail upon a manager 10 give
him or her a small part II may or may mol
mean IS a week more and here again 'ne man
aver is usually Influenced by looks and sbih'y
TO sing.
New-York tribune., 1911-09-16

From the first engagement on IL is distinctly
up 20 the individual" In this the stage differs
from almost any other vocation. The ordinary
employe if he does his work steadily and well.
may count on small raises from year TO year
or time TO time, even II he does not exhibit any
special ability. On the stage, unless the indi-
vidual shows aptitude and ability as time passes
he becomes less valuable. Managers don't want
him around at ALL for each year brings a new
crop Of fresh faced beginners with who knows
how many stars hidden among them.
Still. If ordinary aptitude is shown progress
may be made in having salaries increased. But
from the initial engagement the question OF re-
Enumeration depends so entirely on the person
that ii is impossible TO say approximately even
what his salary may be two or five years hence.
However, the stage has one acknowledgements
ayers are always keenly on the lookout FOR
'star" timber, and If one has IL in him success
can be attained in a greatly shorter time than
in any other profession an examination OF
the stage history OF many of its leading lights
will show conciusively.
The next step from the chorus is ordinarily
10 some minor part and from that TO some
more important part in the play. While IL s
