BRAKEMEN SCARCE
ON THE RAILROAD
Supply is Growing Small With APP
proach of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Rush is on.

With the approach of cold weather
the supply of tackles" or brakemen
on the railroads about this section is
falling Off rapidly. During the sum
mer months there Is an ample supply
of applicants for the positions, but
when the first signs of cold weather
make their appearance the young men
seem to lose all desire to ride the top
of the cars. swing the lanterns and
walk back and forth along the tracks,
This is more or less an annual event,
but this year the decrease in number
seems larger than usual. Sufficient
men have been secured up to the pres
ent time, however, to operate all the
trains, and there is very little danger
of this contingency breaking up the
schedules. There is plenty of work
about the yards of all railroad com
panies at this time, as all are doing
a splendid business, and the force can
be increased a talmost any time with
out having surplus laboring material
on hand

His first Threat.

II was the legislature of 1909 which
received his threat Il was absolutely
imperative ut that time. In the opin-
ion OF the Governor. that an add
tionai tax should be laid upon the pro.
duction OF coal oil and gas. II was
imperative to such degree that IN
the opinion OF the Governor. Il could
not walt until the legislature OF 1911
and announcement was practically
made by him that the legislature
would have to meet in extra session
to take care OF this crying necessity.
At that time the Governors friends
persuaded him that II would be a mis-
take to call the legislature together
and that the matter of which he com
planned could wait a year. The legi#
laure OF 1911 met IN regular session
and agin in extra session and the leg
ialature of 1913 has been called to
meet in extra session, but the tax on
coal. oil and gas has never again
been mentioned in any OF his mes
.seages to the legislature by the Gov
ernor.
