A fire alarm last Wednesday morn

and they made a run to the local coal
ing station in the Milwaukee yards.
One of the large engines was stand
ing under the elevator and the smoke
from the smoke stack was finding it's
way out at the top of the building and
caused the alarm to be sent in. 1t
looked very much like it was on fire.

serious than was stated above, as it

An important improvement has been
made during the past week at the 10.
cal coaling station in the Milwaukee
yards, one that will be welcomed by
the men employed there. A crew of
men have put in a sprinkler to wet the
coal down in the cars preparatory to
shoveling it into the elevator, to Grad
icate the dust that has heretofore been
very troublesome as well as making
this class of work very uncleanly. 1t
is indeed very good move on the part
of those in charge to get this conver-
fence installed as it will now be more
of a pleasure than a bane on the
workers, as the dust from the coal was
not only injurious to their health, but
it was impossible to keep anywhere
near clean.
