catching three catfish on one hook re-

third was about twelve inches long

this law, and who is to be placed
upon every freight train carry
ing 40 cars or more and upon
all passenger trains carrying
6 cars or more. At the present
time through and local freight
trains are manned as follows:
One engineer to run the en-
CINE,
One fireman to run the fire,
One conductor to run the
train,
One fagman or brakeman to
flag the train.
One brakeman for such other
services as occasion may require.
In addition to these, there are
switching crews who make up
trains at all terminal points and
inspectors who assist in look
ing out for such defects in
cars as might endanger the run
ming of trains-a point which
is being emphasized so strong
ly in the sentimental hand bills
and bill boards throughout the
state. From the above enum-
Grafton it should be apparent to
any thinking man that there is
no legitimate service which this
extra brakeman can perform
which is not already adequately
provided for.
AS a matter of fact, a brake
man on a modern freight or pas
senger train is a misnomer for
the reason that for years all
trains have been controlled by
air brakes applied by the engi-
neer from the engine and which
control the entire train. The
