WORK OF MAKING A RAIL
Person Who Has Never
Seen It.

That rail mill was certainly a won
derful sight! The enormous glow
ing ingots were carried on a trans
fer car to a sort of trough. The floor
of the trough, or table" as they call
it, consisted of a series of rollers that
were turned rapidly. Riding on them,
the big clumsy ingot sailed along I'M
til it bumped against a pair of large
steel rolls. Immediately the rolls
seized it and hauled it through, like
clothes through a clothes wringer
We could not see that it had been fiat
tened down very much, but we noticed
that deep corrugations had been cut
into its upper surface. AS it moved
on, the rollers turned it over on it's
side before it was caught by the next
pair or stand" of rolls. 1t went through
four stands in succession, turning over
between each stand, until it had made
complete turn.
Then it came to what is called
"three-high" mill, which has three
rolls, one above the other First the
bloom" as it was now called, went
between the middle and bottom rolls;
but no sooner had it emerged, than it
was raised bodily, the supporting roll
er tables" on both sides Of the mill
being raised up simultaneously, The
rollers of the tables were then re-
versed, causing the bloom to start
back between the middle and top
rolls. The tables were now lowered,
their rollers reversed, and the bloom
sent through between the middle and
bottom rolls as before; but this time
it was switched to one side, where the
rolls were a little larger in diane
ter, and it was a tighter squeeze
through them.
And so the bloom went back and
forth, being switched over to tight
er pass each time until it was
squeezed down to about eight inches
square and over 40 feet long Then
it was cut in two, and each bloom
went through another set Of rolls that
gradually worked it down to the size
and shape of rail. 1t was fascinat-
ing to watch that snake-like bar over
hundred feet long, writing as II
alive. AS it came back for its last
sally through the rolls, whistle was
blown as warning that the rolling
was finished, and the rail was now
on its way to the saws. There were
five circular saws that dropped down
upon the glowing metal, and, amid a
shower of sparks, sawed it into four
ten-yard rails. After that, the rails
were carried off on turnout tables" to
the "hotbeds' to cool.-From With

ing the life of child at Grafton, w.
Va, on May 4, 1912.

Suddenly the noise of an approaching

The train was only little distance

not stir Then it was that Lilly dashed

Ftfty-Six Years on the Railroad.

The death took place last week at
Stranraer, England, of Mr.. John
Shankland, a retired engtne-driver.
He had a record of railroad service
that was probably equaled by very
few, having been employed on the
Glasgow & Southwestern railroad for
Sc years, during Al years of which
he was driver. 1t is also worthy of
mention that Mr.. Shankland, who was
a native of Ayrshire, was the driver
of the first Pullman car train between
Carlisle and Glasgow, when American
coaches were introduced by the Mid
land and Glasgow & Southwestern
railroads in the early '70s. Mr. Shank
land was seventy-seven years of age,
and during his whole career he was
only off work about two montha

15-HOUR DAY
RESULTS IN
WALK OUT

Operations of the Atlanta Steel
Company were affected to some extent
Tuesday by a strike among employees,
who walked out when their request for
shorter hours was refused. officials
of the company declared that the
strike involved only about ten men,
denying the report that sixty men or
more had struck. The company manu-
features wire nails.
It's simply a strike" said one OF
the men. I'VE struck because we
couldn't stand the fifteen hours work
a day that they have been crowding
on US for the last six months. They
formerly had night shift. Lately we
have been working from Z in the
morning to 10 at night, and no stop
for dinner. It's more than we can
stand, and we are not going to stand
it,"
Factory oficia1s declined to talk Of
the situation.
THE men can do as they please"
said one. IF they want to quit, let
them quit AS to the working hours,
we have nothing to say about that"
The men say that the extra work
began with a rush of back orders. At
first there was night shift, but for
the last few months the day shift has
been working straight through.
we sent a formal request for
shorter hours to the management on
Monday night" said one of the strik-
ers. This morning we came to the
factory and were ready to go to work,
if our request was granted 1t was
turned down, so we simply quit"
All the strikers are union men.

And real estate men generally are
jubilant, declaring they see in the
record figures an indication of a
continuance of good business times.
The purchaser of the largest por-
ton Of the property, that at East

was George Felker, of Monroe. This
lot, facing 40 feet on Alabama street

nue., was purchased for $55,s74. rate
Of s1,140 the front foot. On the lot
is a two-story brick building, occupied
under lease by Swift & Co. There is
