The funeral service of John Luther
Link. whose death in Brooklyn, N. y,
was announced in last weeks Register,
took place last Sunday afternoon in the
Lutheran Church at Uvilla, the service
being conducted by Rev. |. d. Woman,
the pastor. The body was inferred IN
Elmwood Cemetery Shepherdstown, IN a
vault especially prepared under the direc-
ton OF Mr.. Links son, Ernest Albert
Link, of Brooklyn. The latter has bought
fourteen lots IN this cemetery, which he
designs TOR a burial place for his own
family and other members OF the con-
nechon. A double vault was prepared
last week at great expense, much OF me
excavation being in limestone rock. he
body of his mother, which had been In
tered in the plat year or two ago IN a
steel vault, was taken up and reinterreo
by the side of his father, where they Will
rest side by side for untold years IN all
probability. Each vault was constructed
OF brick and concrete, and in each was
placed a heavy and costly box OF copper,
In these copper boxes being placed the
caskets containing the remains OF the
husband and wife. In each grave was
deposited heavy steel cylinder Contain
ing a written history OF the Link family.
After the caskets had been placed in the
copper receptacles the latter were locked
and Theoretically sealed and arched over
with brick set in Portland cement. over
the arches a heavy coating OF concrete
was then placed, and deep concrete foun-
dations for tombstones or monuments
were also put down.
Ii is Mr.. Links purpose to beautlfy
this plat with flowers and Shruboery and
10 adorn il in accordance with plans he
has in mind, making ii an especially at
tracuve section OF Gods acre. II IS said
that he ultimately expects to rebury here
the ashes OF those OF his klnfolk who
have been inferred in ancient burylng
grounds which are now in a neglected
condition, and mark their graves appro-
priately The Link family is one OF the
Oldest in this section, and during the CEN
fury and half that has passed since they
first settled hereaboutS hundreds OF them
have passed away and been committed
TO mother earth. 1t will be an arduous
task 10 locate their graves and re-inter
them in this cemetery, but il would be a
noble thing to have them lie together in
one common plat there TO await that great
day when the trumphet shall sound and
the earth and the sea shall give up their
dead.

highest paid classes of railroad en-
ployees are entitled to still more
money for their service. Practically
no employees now work more than ten
hours a day for a days pay and thou
sands work less than ten hours and
even less than eight hours for a days

Attack Overtime.
A further attack on the position of
the men is made in the statement in
an explanation of the effect of their
overtime demands.
1.-The proposed demand for time and
one-half for overtime makes no al
lowance for the difference between
railroad and industrial SERVICE" says
the statement The railroad engineer
or trainman is guaranteed payment for
full day no matter how few hours
he works, and receives payment for
more than a full day if he works more
than either the established miles or
hours. In most lines of industry the
employee does not receive a days pay
for less than days work, and ordi-
narily he cannot earn more than
days pay without working more than
the regular number of hours.
I'm industrial service the employer
can usually control the amount of
overtime, and if he finds it necessary
to operate at overtime rates he can
include the cost in fixing his prices.
IH6 IdIlIOdu, nOWSNeIJ call never SHUT
down its plant, and overtime in many
cases is absolutely beyond the control
of the railroad officers. If a certain
train movement is not completed with
in the time limit. or if a switch engine
is engaged in a certain piece of work,
the train or engine cannot be left
standing where it is. The movement
must be completed or the train run to
a terminal of some kind where it's cars
may be loaded or unloaded or made
up into other trains. Nor can the
crews be released wherever they may
find themselves. Their contracts pro-
vide that they shall be paid until they
reach a terminal, and If they are re-
lieved by extra men the latter would
have to be paid for completing the
trip, or day, though but a few miles
or hours were made in doing so. I'm
der the proposed rules the crews would
have to be paid for the additional time
at the proposed excessive overtime
rates. The ninth or eleventh hour of
work is worth no more to the railroad
than any other hour

VETERAN r. r. ENGINEER DIES.
Major G. w. Vaughn Helped Build
Many Lines in the West

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. MA jor
G. w. Vaughn, veteran railroad en-
gineer died here yesterday afternoon
following a brief attack of Pneumonia.
He was Sc years of age.
Major Vaughn commenced his long
career as a railroad engineer when he
helped construct the first railroad in
Minnesota in 1857. The following year
as a civil engineer he had much to do
with building the first railroads in
southern Missouri. AS chief engineer
for the Santa Fe, which position he
held for number OF years, retiring in
1909, Major Vaughn was in charge
of the engineering work of extending
the Santa Fe from Kansas City to
Chicago.
Major Vaughn was at one time con-
nected with the engineering depart
ment of the Missouri Pacific He also
spent several years in railroad con-
struction work in Mexico. He was for
several years city engineer of Leaven-
worth.

RAILROADS
IN SELF DEFENSE
Railroads Claim Advances
Asked by Men Are Unfair.
Not Shorter Hours, but More
Money Is Wanted.

In a lengthy statement setting forth
their position in detail. the railroads of
the country have made their first pub
lie answer to the 100000 engineers,
firemen, conductors and trainmen who
threaten to call a strike that would
tie up practically every line in the coun-
try unless their demands for a revision
in the schedule of pay are granted.
The answer has been prepared by
the executive committee of the AsSoci-
alton of Western Railways but the es-
Inmates and figures apply to the coun
try as whole and in the event the
men vote to stand by their demands
the statement will be used everywhere
in the campaign to persuade the en-
ployees to accept arbitration.
Bad faith on the part of the men is
insinuated in the statement
THE employees do not mean an
eight hour day as they represent"
it sets forth. ''They do mean, though,
an increase of approximately % per
cent over present wages fixed by drbi-
tration, for the same amount of work.
They mean an increase of Sta per
cent as compared with the present
rates for overtime.
Means 500, 100000.
ITO allow the increase would add
800, 100000 a year to the operating
expenses of all the roads in the coun
try for the benefit of men whose aver
age pay per day was increased from 80
to AZ per cent from 1903 to 1914, while
the wages of western engineers and
firemen were further increased in
1915"
An explanation of the difference be-
tween an eight hour day as established
in many branches of industry and the
eight hour day demanded by railway
employees is made in the statement.
Regarding this difference, it says:
"A real eight hour day has been es-
tablished in some branches of industry
and the public, unless correctly in
formed will naturally assume that
the railroad employees are asking for
the same thing; that they all now
work ten hours for a days pay. and
want to work only eight hours. If this
assumption were correct perhaps the
same arguments could be presented
for an eight hour day in other kinds
of industry. The proposed eight hour
basis OF payment in railway service
and the eight hour day as commonly
understood, are two very different
things.
Not the Same Thing.
'In a factory it is possible to decide
on an eight or nine hour day. In rail-
way service the working day is gov
erned in road service by the length of
time required to run train from one
terminal to another. AS the employees
only propose to change the rate of
pay, it is evident that they do not ex-
pect to work any shorter hours.
Instead of providing for an eight
hour day they propose an increase of
and the question resolves itself into
