on to make the division. Tho en- gineer reaches his position only through a long process of wedding out and elimination. He gets his position on the passenger by reason of his peculiar fitness. He can tell the slightest irregularity in the sound of the machinery sor in the wheeze of the exhaust. He knows to T exactly the right feed of coal and water and steam. And he is himself the finest and acutest and most invaluable portion of the com pany's locomotive department. An other man could be put on in his | place but he drops back in time, in coal consumption, in machinery wear, in oil waste.
 The company cannot very well buck up against any highly skilled organization like that. Engineers are not born, they are trained ana naturally selected in school of the most costly kind-for com panies.
 But this is all changing. Ths motor is coming. It has in places already arrived. It eliminates the highly trained engineer. It substi- tutes the ordinary man who can twist a crank to scheduled adjust ments. Electricity is not the wild uncertain thing that steam is. It IS thoroughly domesticated. A woman with uncertain nerves and a school boy with thoughtless mind can turn on the speed as required with ease and competency. It is open to every one and requiring no skill will be 1 availed of by everyone. The engineer is paid for the possession of a trained faculty was rare Now the companies will require 1t no longer. They don't want it. It's unsaleable as a mail coach after railroad con- struction, unsaleable because use less.
 That's what the roads are facing, and it's what the brothcrhoods are facing. They may win demand for an increase now. But their tri- umph will be short lived. They are making their last flash in the pan The coming day is before the other workers-es is it before the maintenance of way employees and the men in the shops. They who have been neglected and out ol whose hide the companies threaten to take the increase to pay the brotherhood men will be the key to the situation.
 Gradually the wheel is turning and those that were lowest will be the highest, and then the brother hoods will realize that their folly was the fact that they did not make common cause with the commones1 of the workers and make an injury to one the concern of all-that is oi course unless the syndicalist wise. acres bore from within, and save them by the application of q foster ed grace.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-04-10

as to why they cannot grant the in- crease of wages and the shorter work day demanded by the four rail- road brotherhoods there i0 also the sinister suggestion that if they have to grant it, the increase can only bo gained by decreasing the wages or the other employees. But if they do. it is almost certain that they will be short of men for they nov have reduced those lines of employ. ment almost to an irreducible mini mum.
 There's quite a bit of domestic pathos about the brotherhoods de- manding an increase. They have been petted by the railroads beyond reason. When they held their con- ventions the companies furnished cars and sometimes special trains. When they wanted witnesses before the Interstate Commerce Commits sion they secured them from the brotherhoods. When they wanted to campaign against anti-railroad po- liticians they secured them from the ranks of the brotherhoods as in the case of the fight against Lafollette in Wisconsin.
 Not only that but the brotherhoods LOT some of, them have been the strong Allies of the railroads when the maintenance of way employees sought to organize and they watched with lack of interest and cold blood ed indifference the scandalously low wages of the section hands.
 l The head of a Brotherhood of Engineers lived in Euclid Avenue. His daughters coming out was of equal importance as social event to the marriage of the De Witt Gotterock' daughter to the Duke Of Beggary. If the extra gangs started striking for higher wages, the train men said Eve should worry and troubled not at all
 Now they are themselves inclined to watch with some "compunctious visitings of nature" efficiency sy- stems play hell with their privileges. They are made to pull longer trains with fewer men; they have to do their own switching at subdivisions. They see bigger engines pulling big ger trains with the same crews Air brakes and other mechanical i'm provements have side tracked a quantity of labor otherwise neces- sary. Nor is this. all The electric motor is coming. It is in fact here, and the youth from the technical school can operate it's levers with the same skill as the motoraan of several years. The engineer is a highly trained man. There is all the difference between them. Some seem
 to be able to take out an old wheez- ing coffee pot and make up time with it's noisy side rods ana flat
 wheels. Others will take tho fast est and best of the passenger engines and lose time with it. One will waste a weeks pay in oil and lubri- cation. Another will squander the pay of two men on the coal taken

KICKING OVER THE MILK PAIL

In Chicago they have been
having strikes for years but
here is new one. 1t comes
from the dairy farmers who
have been supplying Chicago
with milk. The farmers want a
slight advance in price of the
lacteal fluid. They don't claim
that it is on account of the war,
that handy excuse for any old
thing, but they say the city milk
dealer is getting all the profit.
Their fight is on the middle man
but all Chicago is kicking like
Mrs. OLeary's famous cow that
kicked over the lamp that set
Chicago on fire. One of the strik
ing farmers explains the milk
In the cocoanut" as follows:
AT present we deliver about
million quarts of milk daily, on
an average, in Chicago. We get,
on an average, two cents a quart
for this milk. The dealers re,
ceive eight cents, and in pint
bottles ten cents, a quart for this
milk"
The demand was for an in
crease of about one-sixth, 16S
per cent; that is, the the farmers
getting two cents quart asked
for seven cents, instead of six
cents, for three quarts.
From this distance it looks
like the farmers demand is very
modest and the Chicago people
had better let the COWS do the
kicking.
