Requirements of Section Bosses
More Exact Than Ever Before.

Requirements of Section Bosses
More Exact Than Ever Before.
Through information secured from men
who work and who have been working for
the Western Maryland Railroad company
for many years, the position of Section
Boss is not as pleasant as in former
years, and but few who know how to lay
and keep track in good order are will
ing to continue their work or take up the
work as boss.
Under the new management many de-
mands are made of these men. Orders
from head officials in regard to certain
piece of work come fast and numerous
through two or three underbosses before
landing in the hands of the section boss,
and each in turn whoops the other up in
order that work shows up we'll through
them to their respective overseer. The
section boss gets the last and probably
the loudest whoop, and he in turn has to
listen and say nothing. If he and the
men under him can do the many things
demanded without material and time to
execute the work. he is bully good fell
low, otherwise, he has the privilege of
handing in his resignation or being fired.
Mr.. Edwin Kern, who after working
for number of years on the Western
Maryland, was given section of track
at Oldtown end worked the same salts
factorly for several years. Orders were
given for each section boss to have ten
men. Work across the Potomac on the
B. & o. road frightened up and men
were paid 50 per day for their labor. The
w. NJ men receive 81. 80 $40 and seeing
a chance to make more money left Mr..
Kern After trying his best to secure
workmen and failing to get ten men, he
is now out of job.
Mr.. Rob't Egenbrode, who has been
on the w. M. for l6 years, and since the
death of Edw. Baxter (nearly six years
ago. has been section boss at Thurmont,
has handed in his resignation, the same
to take effect September LIST.
Bosses on the Logs and New Windsor
sections have been fired, and we under
stand the company has had some Difficult
ty to get men who are willing and COM
petent to take their positions.
Not only are the section bosses being
gotten rid of, but men at the head of
many of the departments are resigning,
among these being General Passenger
Agent, Mr. H. M. Howell, who has been
with the railroad many years.

Through the efforts of State Fire Mar

to hint that the burning of the house was
not due to natural causes. but that Beal
had been the instigator.
| When taken before Justice Miller the
two men broke down and confessed. Bit
Ter says he received $25 from Beall fol

St. James Court Post Has "Gone
Begging"

Washington, March 15.-If the
truth be told, the ambassadorship TO
the Court of st. James has gone beg
ging" for candidate suitably
equipped to fill the most important
diplomatic post at the disposal OF
the new Democratic Administration.
Richard Olney has declined the
place in a friendly and gracious
letter to President Wilson. The
reasons given were brief-personal
and family, Communications have
also been received at the White
House from DR.. Charles W. Eliot
telling that the former head of Har-
ward University does not care to
undertake the work and its RESPONSE

1t was said at the executive Off

was greatly worried by the diff
culties encountered in finding a man
for the place who suited him.
The same condition applies to the
Enthusiastically to France. William
F. McCombs had another long confer
ence with the President and again re-
iterated a desire TO remain in this
county to practice law and manage
the affairs of the national committee.
The national chairman left in
most cheerful frame of mind, and if
there is foundation for the report
that there is friction between him
and Mr.. Wilson, did not show it,
To those with whom he talked, Mr..
McCombs admitted the conference
had been taken up almost entirely
by the question who was entitled 10
patronage.
Mr.. McCombs declined to discuss
the diplomatic vacancies, but il is
known that pressure is being brought
to bear in favor of William Church
Osborn, of New York, and Judge
George Gray, of the United States
Circuit Court, of Delaware. Judge
Gray is a Democrat and a former
Senator. He has long been one OF
the United States Commissioners at

Bryan Drawing Fire From English

London, Mach ia blazing in

describes the speech of William j..
Bryan, the Secretary of State. at the
St. Patrick's day banquet. given by
lrish-Americans at Washington on
Saturday evening.
The Post reprints the portion of the
speech in which MIR. Bryan congratu-
lated the Irish nationalists on their
success in the matter of the Home
Rule Bill and referred TO the virtual
end OF hereditary rule in the British
empire.
The Post says that while 1t does
not suppose that Mr.. Bryan intended
to give offense, he should understand
that his speech is regarded with keen
resentment by many people in Great
Britain, and. in their opinion, is a
gratuitous and unwarrantable inter-
ference In the domestic affairs of
the United Kingdom.

DELAY IN NEW BRIDGE.
Bids for @ Street Structure
Exceed the Available
Funds.

Work on the $25.0OO concrete bridge
which is to span Rock creek. connecting
Q street in Washington with @ street
in Georgetown, is not expected to start
before November !.
Owing to the fact that none of the
bids recently submitted came within the
funds available it has become necessary
for Engineer of Bridges McComb to
prepare new specifications. These will
be completed In about six weeks. at
which time new bids will be called for.
The bids probably will not be opened
until month later. so that there is
little probability of a contract being
awarded before October /. Actual con-
struction work should begin within q
month from that date.
Although Congress appropriated S215.-
COO for the bri.ge. the amount of $3.50. 600
only will be available for the bridge
proper the remainder of The appropria-
ton being required to pay the cost of
building the approaches and providing
ornamental and other features.
The bridge was designed by the late
r. c. j. Bayly. jr.. engineer of bridges,
with the assistance of W. A. Draper,
assistant engineer of bridges, and Glenn
Brown. Mr.. Draper will superintend
the construction work. The bridge will
have a length of 43O feet and a width
of 33 feet. with two 7-foot sidewalks
1t will be constructed on curve and
will have seven spans. Bronze buffaloes
designed by A Phimster Proctor of New
York. will decorate the approaches.
