to the increased number of cars length of train,
which is not correct. There are no more duties
to perform on through freight train of sixty
cars than of forty cars for the same reason that
there are no more duties to perform on street
car that Is sixty feet long than OH a street car
that Is forty feet long. The law could just as
well require more than one driver on four. horse
team during harvest because the reaper cut a
wider swath or two drivers TO team because the
harrow which had only forty teeth now has sixty
teeth. Why demand two brakemen for a train of
forty cars and three brakemen for train of forty.
one cars! This requirement is enough to con.
denim this law because the difference in the
trains Is imperceptible, in fact, no difference
far as services are required.
If adopted this law means over half million
dollars increased expense to the roads in Mis-.
souri, and Just much actual loss in revenue,
because there Is no corresponding benefit to the
roads either In economic earning power or in
creased business. IL means S5OOOOO taken from
the travelling and shipping public, who must first
pay this extra amount to the railroads in order
that the railroads may pay II to the extra brake.
men demanded by this law on certain trains
which have heretofore been successfully operated
without such proposed extra men and needless
expense. Men skilled in the operation of rail.
roads, having devoted lifetime TO it, should be
presumed to know more about the number of men
necessary to operate train with safety and econ.
Omy than men who have not been engaged in that
business. Every incentive, both from the stand.
point of humanity, as well as the standpoint of
economy and efficiency, prompts the managers of
railroads to add additional men, II necessary, as
well az to use only such number as can best per.
form the work in the proper operation of the train
We call the public's attention to this law and
its purpose and effect This extra expense, If i'm.
posed, must come to the railroad companies
through increased rates. Rates are paid by the
shippers and passengers therefore. the shippers
and passengers asked by this law to vote this
increased expense upon themselves. Can they
afford to do il? We think not.
The law might as well provide that each far.
mer must have extra man for every ten acres
of land or, the merchant an extra man for every
additional store room.
The Holt County sentinel. (Oregon, Mo.) 1883-1980, 1914-10-23

You will remember law was passed by the
last legislature of Missouri nick named Full
Crew Bill, " which was from the first misnomer
and is misleading in that it creates the inference
that the crews then in use on railroads were not
complete that IL, were less than necessary to
properly operate certain trains when In fact, there
was not and Is not now any duty or unperformed
service that can be assigned TO the extra man pro.
vided for in this proposed law.
This law was by petition referred to the people
in accordance with the referendum act, and will
be voted on at the November election under the
following caption
The Holt County sentinel. (Oregon, Mo.) 1883-1980, 1914-10-23
no. y
Referred by Referendum Petition

Senate Bill No. III. enacted by Forty.seven,h
General Assembly:
Providing the minimum number Of employees
In crews on passenger mail. express and freight
trains, respectively operated In the State Of Mis-
souri, making II unlawful for railroads and rail.
waycompanies 10 operate such character OF trains
without such respective minimum number Of EN-.
ployes In said crews, and prescribing penalties
for violations Of said act
At tn. present time, through and local freight
trains are equipped a. follows:
One engineer to run the engine
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 emer.
gencies may require.
The above enumeration would seem to show
enough men in the operation of any through train.
TO the above number the law proposes to add
another brakeman. There would seem to he no
room for another job on such a train, especially
when IL il remembered that all such trains are
equipped with air brakes, and the brakes are set
and released by the engineer on the engine
As there was no visible vacancy or place for an
extra man u work on these trains, by which the
necessity for the extra man could be pointed out
by the law, the trainers of the bill decided to make
the number of forty cars unit, above which mum
Der no railroad company must haul in one train
without adding an extra brakeman.
The Holt County sentinel. (Oregon, Mo.) 1883-1980, 1914-10-23

An objection to the law is that it applies TO all
trains of forty on all roads, regardless of
the topography of the country or the character of
freight hauled, whether livestock or dead freight.
While an extra. brakeman might be of use In
mountainous country e Is impossible to conceive
that he would be of use on roads with I per
cent grade, whichsstarts at terminals on side
of the state and does not stop except for passing
trains, until it reaches the terminals the other
side of the state.
THE best argument against ibis proposed lar
is, perhaps, tie tact that at tie same legislature
aIubtic Service Commission ,nos created, which
commission has tuU pb,cer 10 regulate tie num
Der Of men 10 be employed on trains IN eroct pro-
portion 10 tie service necessary 10 Tie proper OPP

instead of adopting hard and fast rule like
this law would prove to be for all time to
come, to allow this question of regulating
the number of employees on trains to rest
with the tribunal created for the specific
purpose of regulating the operation of rail-
roads.
The operation of train the same as the OPP
Grafton of threshing machine or a saw mill, or
any other going concern, requires a certain num-
Der of men TO perform the duties incident thereto
and an extra man in excess Of the number of du
ties can only find work by interfering with the
duties of the regular crew. A train of sixty
operates exactly train of forty cars. The
movement and management il not per car, like
drawing single bucket of water on a windlass,
but the train of forty cars moves altogether like
the cups on the pump chain, and sixty cups are no
more difficult to handle than forty, and requires
no extra man ut the pump handle or windlass.
This law was passed on the erroneous as.
sumption that the number, character and extent
of duties Of the brakeman Increased in proportion

he hired to impersonate a burglar This
particular actor is well adapted facially
to play crook parts and he has done

Director Noble told him so many

Noble can point with pride to several

Arthur Mackley and Vesper Pegg
had a narrow escape from serious in
jury recently when they accidentally
fell a distance of more than 12O feet
on a drop down the side of a mountain
during a rehearsal of 1.-The Angel of
the Gulch." In the rehearsal Mackley,
who portrayed the character of a
tough of the camp, entered in a fight
with Pegg at the top of the canon.
During the combat both fell down tbs
mountainside, locked in each others
embrace. 1t was the intention to stop
after a fall of about a dozen feet. The
canon was so steep, however, that the
two men were unable to check their
descent and were hurled to the bot
tom of the mountain. So graphic was
the fall that despite his numerous cuts
and bruises Mackley, who recognized |
the dramatic value of the fall, con-
cluded to repeat it. The actors then
painfully made their way back to the
top of the canon, and with the camera
