Make FIRE FIGHTERS
OF ALLB.dO.WORKERS
Even Employees in Train
Service Urged to Guard
Against Blaze
MAY STOP TRAINS
UNDER NEW ORDER

BY virtue of a circular issued by
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to
its employees. the men working for
that company are to be constituted
into a vast organization of fire-fght-
crs, ready for emergency service in
protecting the property Of the public
and that of the railroad against des-
truction by flames.
Employees in train service and
others whose duties require them
10 travel over the property are urged
by the management to maintain a
constant vigil against fire, either on
the property of the railroads neigh
bors or along its own right-of-way.
Suggestions concerning precautions
against fires are requested of the en-
ployes.
In the event that fires be discovered
ty engineers, conductors or other
employees in train service they are
peremptorily authorized by the COM
4 pany to lend assistance in eXtinguish-
ing the blaze; but the regulation re-
Quires that in such emergency any
delay occasioned by assisting in put
ting out a fire must be reported at the
first telegraph station.
While the regulation concerning
the suppression of fires has in view
| primarily the protection of railroad
| property, the Baltimore and Ohio
urges its men to take a broad interest
! in the communities in which they re.
side so that at all times they may
render assistance of direct benefit tC
society. In the cities and towns
division points and terminals the rail.
road has provided hre-hghting appar.
atus for the use of employees in emer.
| gency cases. and to increase the eff
cheney of such protection the men are
drilled in order that they keep them
selves on the alert Numerous in
stances have been reported of rail
roading forces preventing serious fire
destruction.
The campaign waged by the Balti
more and Ohio against fire losses
extends beyond the employees to the
Z mechanical operations Of the pro
perty. Locomotive stacks have beer
equipped with nettings to proven
particles of fire from being scattered

ATTEMPT TO wreck
train FAILED

OXFORD, Pa. Aug. 81 Three men
we're injured when train wreckers
tried to demolish the first train that
had been run over the Lancaster, Ok
ford and Southern Railroad after a
suspension of two months. The gaso-
line mail car, which has been carry
ing the mail during the suspension of
the road, preceded the regular train.
and it struck the huge stone which
had been buried in the roadway and
covered with dirt. The mail car was
nurled from the track down the en-
bankment, and James McMichael,
John Huss and Samuel Edwards were
thrown 10 feet into a small creek
nearby. McMichael suffered a frac-
tured collar-bone, and all three were
lady bruised, but none of the in
juries is serious.
The wreck occurred near Tweedale
where the tracks pass a wood. 1t is
believed that the wreckers were per
sens in the neighborhood who obiec-
ted to the Company beginning opera
