Word for the Section Worker.

There are at least 100000 section
workers, and over As, 900 section fore
men on American railroads today.
These men are just as jealous of their
good names and of the reputation of
their work, and a little more so,
think, than any other body of workers.
in the country writes ]. o. Pagan in
the Boston Herald They certainly
deserve more appreciation than the
average. and receive a good deal less.
Not only is this true, but, in my opin-
ion, this track work which | am now
discussing is probably the very
strongest and best feature in all the
realm of railroad labor at the present
day. Just at this time it will be we'll
for the public to read a little about
the duties and responsibility of these
track workers. Man for man they
actually do twice as much work, both
with head and hands, as enginemen or
trainmen, and they receive only a.
fraction as much pay or appreciation.

Old Folks at the Game.

Then, too, there are the older peo-
pie.
After all, the most Interesting thing
about a Yale-Harvard football game
crowd is not the pretty girls and the
snappy, clean-cut boys who squire
them. It's the old chaps, gray and
wrinkled maybe, and a bit worn by
line bucking of kind they don't ex
perience at college; but still game and
ready as ever to sit for hours on the
hard bleachers and thrill from crown
to toe every time the old team charges,
and SILVER with apprehension when
the line bends and breaks and the
hostile backs crash through. And, of
course, there are accompanying the
older men certain persons, who-well,
who have seen mere games than Miss
Debutante, with her bunch of violets
or American beauties, and who are
just as competent to discern whether
a play is inside of tackle.-New York

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson has come out
strongly against the turkey trot, and
her expression to an intimate friend
is an advance notice of what may be
expected in Washington social circles

SLOWER IKAINS FOR WINTER
Atmospheric Conditions Make ReVl-
sion of Schedules Necessary in
Most Sections.

Instead Of slowing down a few OF
the extra fare. extra fast trains. the
speed of nearly all passenger trains is
TO be slackened
The plan is TO make a general
lengthening of passenger train sched-
ules, that is. all main line trains that
may be in any way considered in the
through route class. This takes in
probably 60 per cent. OF all passen-
ger trains. The present plan is to deal
with trains that operate 200 or 300
miles up to 500. The exception to the
slower cards will be to the south.
where the weather is not considered
sufficiently severe to interfere with
operations.
On timecards becoming effective In
many Of the big western roads the
schedule scores of passenger trains
is strung out to time cards considered
safe. The managers say it is farci-
cal to advertise these fast trains in
winter, when they cannot meet their
schedule more than ten per cent. of
the time. The locomotives will not
steam, and SHOWS and other atmos-
pheric conditions keep trains delay
ed, and the public becomes aroused.
The railroad men argue that the pub
lie will be better satisfied to have
slower trains and have them operated
