TO be signed about the time the
bill is effective. they plan to ask more

said that. probably this will be adjusted

In this connection, the question arose
as TO what men will come under the
terms OF the law. The big four brother

union. train employees will benefit. But
they have not been specific as to whether
the measure should include such opera
tives as switch and crossing tenders. sta
tion agents, dispatchers, and teleg-

On the other hand, a railway expert
today expressed the view that the courts
would rule-if il comes to them-that
the bill passed to meet national emer-
gency. was intended solely for engineers,
fremen, trainmen. and conductors-both
union and non-union.

By H. A. FARNHAM, Manager
National Engraving Company

Almost every intelligent person has
fairly good conception of the processes used
in the printing trade-in reproducing mes
sages written to the public-but compara-
lively few know much, if anything, about
the allied trade of photo-engraving or illus
trating the printed message by the use OF
pictures. Generally speaking, the photo-en-
graver puts out two different kinds of print
ing plates-half tones from photographs
and line cuts from drawings. From the
time a photograph enters the shop till the
half tone copy of it emerges there are nine
distinct processes employed, every one of
them requiring the work of skilled and high
priced labor Eight distinct operations and
So cents for actual labor of production
(wages), exclusive of materials and all over
head, enter into the manufacture of one
small zinc etching, or line cut as it is COM
monty called. The operations vary from the
mechanical polishing down of the copper and
zinc sheets of metal to satiny smoothness to
the chemical processes of photographing the
originals and the etching in on metals by
chemicals as well as the finishing by hand
labor under powerful microscopes.
In the general increased cost of doing
business the photo-engraving industry has
not escaped-in addition to a marked ad-
vance in the price of labor the price of many
materials used has increased from 25 to 100
per cent in the past two years. Every one
knows how the European war has boosted
the prices on chemicals, copper and zinc, etc.
But an illustration is not bought on account
of its price, but because it will help sell your
products and build up your business and
your profits Photo-engravings used with
type in printing have made possible many
modern business successes. What they have
helped others to accomplish you can accom-
plish, too, by their judicious use. Whatever
you DESIRE whatever you want to kno's
about the use of engravings in your ow'-

RAILROADS PLANNING
TO MEET NEW Law
Officials Are in Quandary, How
ever, As to Best Method to
Solve Problems.

BALTIMORE. Sept. cooperating Of
fic!a!s OF the railroads have turned their
attention to solving the problem of how
best to meet the requirements of the new
eight-hour lw. 1t Is understood that
the operating department OF the Balti-
more and Ohio has already taken UP the
matter. and the assumption Is that the
other roads have done likewise.
1t is said that there are three alterna-
tives confronting the roads. The ques-
ton now being considered is. which Of
the alternatives will work the least diff
ficulty and will be the most economical.
Either divisions OF the lines. as now
laid out, must be changed so that a
train of loaded freight cars can make
the run In eight hours, or the size of the
trains must be reduced and their num-
Der increased. to permit the present run
| to be made IN the legal time. or the
roads can maintain the present terminal
points and pay the train crews extra for
all overtime.
Requires Long Study.
1t Is pointed out that these are not
easy questions and cannot be determined
| in a day or a week. They will require
the concentrated thought OF the best ex-
perts in the operating departments to
solve satisfactorily. The roads have un-
| til January l to settle difficulties and to
put the new law into effect.
All roads In the country have their
| divisions so arranged that a loaded train
| can ordinarily make the distance In ten
hours, and this has been regarded as q
days work under the existing system.
The division distances average about
100 miles. though they may be shorter or
| longer.
To change these terminals to reduce
! the run to eight hours, II Ia declared,
can only be done at enormous expense
The terminal points are fitted up with
roundhouses. warehouses, machine. and
repair shops and other necessary equip.
| ment.
Change Means Big Outlay.
II the terminals are to be changed. Il
will not only entail the building OF new
terminal requirements. but the securing
of the needed land as we'll This cos
can readily be seen to be almost stag
gering, and few wonder why the rail.
| roads balk at the prospect. The poin
gained by adopting this policy will bt

To shorten the trains and so reduc.
