engineer Who had taken advantage Of the
bankruptcy law to avoid paying his OBJ
legations. When Mr.. Stone heard Of this
he said 20 the man:
you paw your debts or the organisation
will see that YOU cease to oe a member Of
the order The man paid his debts.
No other labor organization Ia the world
exercises such a rigid censorship over the
morals Of its men. Therefore. the man al
the head Of Il must be the very personiti-
cation Of its ideal in charsctej,
II only remains to speak Of one more
evidence Of his vision and judgment when
he was a young engineer speeding over the
iowa pralries he dreamed % a permanent
home for the brotherhood. II took shape
as a large, imposing structure, rearing its
many-storisd height in a great city, dedi-
Gated for all time to the good Of the order
When he became chief he advocated the
idea. but at first II vas derided From
convention to convention he took his pro-
ject. Finally his colleagues said:
You can build II YOU don't assess us
All that Mr. Stone wanted was authority.
He devised the financial plan. and the
result Is that today. without one cent OF
extra cost to the brotherhood II owns a
magnificent twelve-story office building In
Cleveland, o., probably the finest struc-
ture Of the kind in the community, repre-
senting an investment OF 81 90 and
yielding a net income OF $4,000 a year.
This will no doubt be devoted to the char
liable work Of the brotherhood. which is
considerable. one Of its tenants is the
Lake shore railroad. II is probably thu
first time in history that a great railway
Sy stem rented from a labor organization.
Both in and out Of his craft, Mr. stone
has received many honors. Theodore
Roosevelt found him q man Of his own
kind, and made him a member OF the In
ternational Peace commission which is the
custodian Of the Nobel prize fund. he is
a member Of the executive committee Of
the National Civic federation.
Such is the type OF man who has risen
from the ranks to be the head OF nearly
10000 men who carry Sl2e,OO0oOo in insur-
ance in their brotherhood. When you come
10 sum up his personal achievement you
find that IL may be stated in two simple
phrases:
He dominates his fellows and he keeps
his word. AS such he personifies the high
est type Of Industrial democracy Hugh

roads to a wage agreement is typical of
the way he goes about his task.
He saw the cost Of living rising noun
tain-hlgh. and vet no appreciable increase
in the wages Of the engineer. When he
went 10 the heads of the various roads they
said. we are paying as much as any other
system"
This was the truth. Mr.. Stone urged an
increase in wages, but the railroads could
not see H.
Then he dtd "A characteristic thing. He
divided the country into three sections.
The roads Of each of these could be han
died or negotiated with as a unit. Then
he asked the general managers of the roads
OF one section Cthe westerly, 10 meet with
him for a wage conference, and they paid
no attention to him.
Mr.. Stone then prepared to order a strike
on a dozen roads. A strike OF locomotive
engineers is a serious thing. Ninety per cent
Of all the engineers Of the country are in
the brotherhood, and you cannot trust lin
tied trains to cubs. The general managers
suddenly found time to meet Mr.. Stone.
A memorable conference followed. Fifty
five roads were represented. On one side
Of the long oak table sat Mr.. stone and
four assistant grand chiefs, and behind
him the fifty-five brotherhood chairmen OF
those roads. On the other side of the table
sat ten general managers. In reality il
was a battle between ten men and five
men, and the five men won out.
| Under his quiet. merciess logic, every
/ argument fell away. The result OF the
meeting was that the wages Of engineers
were raised from to Is per cent.

is answerable is the convention, and this
only meets every two years.
Here is the way Chief Stone stood by his
obligations: In 1905 the brotherhood made
a working agreement with the Interborough
Rapid Transit company governing the
motormen on the subway trains. Employed
on the subway were members OF various
other unions. most of them affiliated with
the AmslgamAted Electrical Workers
Some Of these unions become dissatisfied
and ordered a strike. The motormen went
out. This was a fragrant violation Of their
agreement with the Interborough. Mr..
Stone hurried to New York, and without
even going near a striker, revoked their
charter and suspended every member Of the
division, SOL in number.
This incident illustrates one OF the char
aeteristic attitudes Of the brotherhood. II
will not permit its members to join any
other labor organisation. The purpose is
not monopolistic. but protective to ali in
terssts. II the engineers we're permitted to
Join other bodies, they might be called out
on q sympathetic strike in which they had
no interest or grievance, and would then
break faith with their employers.
Evidence Of the big. broad. generous
policy of the brotherhood is shown in its
open shop" feeling. II does not compel
any man TO Join in order to run an engine.
II is content with fixing conditions under
which any engineer may work. Instead Of
regarding the nonmember as a leper, it
really acts as his friend. Any engineer
who is not q member OF the brotherhood
can have his grievance adjusted by the
brotherhood, and his case has precedence
over those OF members. The result is that
instead Of the union seeking the man, the
man. In this case. seeks the union.
