FACTS ON FIRING

EFFICIENCY OF MECHANICAL
sToKING AND HAND WORK
COMPARED.

] Chicago. H.. Feb. 1O-Emciency o.
mechanical methods OF feeding fuel to
F. locomotives. as compared with hand
firing was discussed today before
the board Of arbitration that is con
siderinE wage demands OF locomotive
Greme- and engineers. There was
I also considerable sparring over the
union demand that hostlers be rec
Tuited from the hremen and. Incl
dentally. whether the brotherhoods
have the right 20 represent the host
lers In the proceedings.
Harry Clever OF the Chicago, Rock
Island * Pacific testified that. in his
opinion. few OF the present hostlers
would have favored the demand that
in future only engiuemen should be
given those positions.
". :. Carter. president Of the Broth
erhood OF Firemen and Enginemen.
said his organization represented the
hostlers because many OF them had
petitioned the union TO take their part
and because otherwise the hostlers
would not be represented.
Then we have another case where
men are looking for a pair OF suspend
ers 10 lift themselves out of their
jobs remarked Charles Nagel.
member OF the board.
Work Of Fireren on Oil Burners.
Mr.. Clever testified that the two
chiefs jobs of a fireman on an oil
burning locomotive were to regulate
the spraying of oil on the fire and to
keep awake. His other duties were
described as correspondingly light.
Similar testimony as to the duties
of men in charge of mechanical stok-
ers was given by A. y willsie. chair
man OF the fuel economy committee
OF the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy
railroad He said that the devices re-
quircd no particular skill from the
iremen. He explained that greater
consumption on the mechanically fed
engines was caused by the fact that
screenings were used. He added that
mechanical stocking gave less black
smoke and that there was better fuel
because of the light and /
steady feeding. He denied the con-
tentions of the unions that hand firing |
was necessary TO supplement the ma
chimes. excepting the cases when 4
