Tools Were Scattered.

Two of the heavy jacks We're battered
hv the train. One, not battered, was
found in a creek about fifty yards from
the spot where the train came in con
tact with the obstruction. and the
fourth was not found.
The engineer felt the jar caused by
the engine coming in contact with the
tools piled on the tracks, and when
his train reached Union station he made
= report. An examination OF the en-
CINE disclosed two broken steps.
Passengers on the train knew moth

officers and it's all the grand officers
can do to KEEP the men from kicking
over and putting an end to arbitra-
ton. Stone said:
81 want to say, neither in the way
of explanation nor excuse, that the
grand officers of this organization,
instead of taking the lid off, try to
keep the brake on. If the men did
not come to us with grievances we
would not be here with them. The
thing we have always tried to do is
to keep dissension down, if possible;
instead of adding to it. If we simply
take the brake off and let the men
go it would be whole lot more rad
ical than it is.
eff any fault has been found with
the executive officers of this organi-
zation it is because they have been
too conservative and have allowed
the railroads to capitalize that con-
servatism and have not gotten the
results that the rank and file think
they should have gotten"
In his argument yesterday that
closed the four-months' hearing in
the federal building, Stone said:
81 desire to impress upon you the
importance of this case. 1 question
if any body of men in the world ever
decided a case that will have as far
reaching an effect. feel, gentlemen,
that it depends largely on your deci-
sion in this arbitration, whether or
not, we have reached the opening of
new industrial era or whether we are
going back to the old days again"
Those who know the lineup in
the railroad world now know that
what Stone means by this is:
IF you don't hand down a deci-
sion giving a good raise in wages
the rank and file members of the
brotherhoods will throw away all
hopes of ever getting anything from
arbitration. They will strike and de-
stroy property and commit violence
