RAILROAD TRA|NMEN
WANT 8-HOUR DAY
THE SEVERAL BRANCHES IN OPP.
GRATING DEPARTMENT ISSUE
STATEMENTS.
CLAIM THEIR WANTS ARE FAIR
Also Want Time and One-Half for
Overtime-Think Roads Will Not
Be Inconvenience In Adopting
Plan, More Than Others.

This is a partial official statement
on the shorter work day and time and
one-half for overtime, issued by the
grand chief of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, the president of
the Order OF Railway Conductors, the
president of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen, and
the president of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen.
The demand is fair; all of the lead
ing industries and trades, railroads ex-
cepted, have recognized the economic
justice of the eight-hour day. We be-
greater inconvenience by the railroads
than accompanied its introduction in
other employments.
The eight-hour day movement is
based wholly upon the justice of a
workday of reasonable hours that will
permit the men further to separate
the dead line between work and wa
ges. The railroads say in effect that
men who have put in a few years of
railroad service have worked them
they lose their positions. If men are
worked out in few years under pres
ent service conditions, as the railroads
in effect declare, the demand to ex-
tend their wage-earning years is fully
justified.

Extra Pay for Extra Work.

Overtime in road service is due al
most wholly to the practice of rail
roads overlooking trains 80 that they
can not make their mileage within
their time limits. The railroads are
doing this for profit, they do not deny
it, and If they propose to demand ex-
ira service at the sacrifice of the
health and future earning capacity of
the men they should pay extra for it.
The payment of overtime applies with
particular force to yards where the
companies can regulate their work so
that no overtime need be made. If
they exact extra service, it Is to their
own interest and the men have per-
feet right to demand time and one
half time for that service.

caught the echo of quick, sharp
gasp. Well he might! Mrs. Nixon
had entered the room and with her
was Madge.
Walter did not speak word or
make a move to disturb Newman.
He watched him mutely. He could
discern that some great impression
was being made on the city-hardened
speculator by the homelike picture
before him.
It was indeed fair scene, an ap-
pealing one to Newman. Violet had

and the last fond hope of Madge was
extinguished.
The wedding took place and Wal
ter and his wife settled down in a
pretty, coy home, at which Madge
was welcome visitor. Walter never
thought of his old city ambitions
now. Life seemed to have brought
him its full need. He had a pleasant
working position, many loyal friends
and the home cot was veritable ha-

dusk. one Saturday evening when
some one, a satcheI in hand, stepped
from behind a tree, confronting him.

Walter noticed that Newman kept
the satchel close beside him, and,
too, a hunted, uneasy look constant

a person under some vast strain of
dread or suspense.

Last night when the evangelist spoke
on Help more than 1,400 were pres

les. Long before the service began the
entire building was completely filled
and later many were turned away be-
cause of lack of space. In his sermon

many theories of the present day
about what and where hell is. He de-
clared that the Bible does not give a
complete literal explanation of the
kind feternal punishment which God
has planned.
In part of his sermon he said: You
ask why God made hell? To destroy
the devil. Why did He make the
devil? He didn't make the devil. The
devil caused his own downfall. Why
does God damn a man? God doesn't
damn a man. A man damns himself
by refusing to confess his sins.

DIR. DIXON GIVES
ADVICE ON COLDS
Says People Should Take Care
Who Is Around When They
Start to Sneeze

Many of the so-called colds or in
fiuenzas are caused by carelessness
of people having such ailments who
do not take precautions when COM
PEELED to sneeze, declares DR.. Sam
uel G.. Dixon, State Commissioner of
Health, in warning against spread
ing of such diseases. DR.. Dixon sug-
gests the taking OF common sense
precautions and in the course of a
brief talk points out the ease with
which contagion can be guarded
against.
The commissioner says:
Let the innocent bystander be-
ware of the careless or ignorant in
dividual who takes no precaution to
cover the nose and mouth to catch
the spray when sneezing. Such care
lessness should be resented as you
would resent the dangerous habit of
splitting.
when you sneeze, spray of the
secretions from the mucous membrane
of the respiratory tract and the
throat is thrown into the air for quite
some distance around you. This spray
often carries germs of disease From
some forms of leprosy and tubercu-
losis, thousands of germs that will
produce those disease, are breathed
in by those who are standing within
the zone of the spray.
MANY of the infiuenzas or so-called
colds are communicated from one
person to another in the same way.
Some healthy people have disease
producing organisms that are sneeZed
out and If taken into the respiratory
tract of others who have less resis-
tance, they will fall victims to what
ever form of disease that germ pro-

as some may like to obtain the exact
idea of the moduS operandi we will
give them simple method of prepar-
ing one for the children. The tree
itself can doubtless be purchased in
the Square tomorrow for dime, unless
one of unusual size is required; and
care should be taken to select one
that branches out freely, so as to give
full effect to the lights and decora-
tions. The lights are furnished by
small wax candles, which can be
bought by the dozen for a trifle, and
are easily attached to the tree. Some
people cover them with colored pa
per, like Chinese lanterns, and they
look very pretty in this way; but it
is considerable trouble and the paper
is apt to take fire.
After the lights are properly ar
ranged there is nothing to do but
properly dispose of the gifts, which
should be all ready and labelled with
the names of those for whom they
are intended. The larger and heav-
ier articles must be ranged round the
base of the tree: the small toys. con-
fectionery and light presents attached
to the branches and the main stem
by narrow blue or rose-colored rib
bon, of which a piece that costs
about 25 cents will be required. When
these are tastefully disposed of, some
little ribbon streamers, sprigs of art
ificial flowers and lady apples may
be sprinkled here and there wherever
they will do the most to render more
brilliant the general effect. The
candles of course must not be lighted
until the trimming of the tree is COM
pleted and it is ready for exhibition
to the delighted throng of children,
to whom it will give a glimpse of
Fairyland."
