WHAT AILS OUR RAILROADS?
Many Of Most Desirable Employees
Have Been Attracted to Other
Pursuits by Higher Wages.

What is really the matter with the
railroads? is a question that IS puz-
zling a good many people nowadays.
Is 1t shortage of rolling stock. or men.
or both; or is it general inefficiency
that is responsible for the deplorable
conditions existing today?
OF course the railroads could use a
great many o cars if they had eff
Gent men to handle them, but in the
opinion of competent observers eff
cheney of many employees has deterio-
rated at least to the extent of the adj
vance in wages and many of the most
desirable employees have been at
tracted to other pursuits by higher
wages than the railroads are paving,
says Iron Trade Review. There seems
also to be physical exhaustion and q
breaking down of spirit due to the long
and unprecedentedly severe strain to
which railroad employees have been
subjected. After all. questions relat-
Ing to men are fully as important
rs those relating to equipment in the
railroad situation.
What is the remedy? Cars and equip
ment will, of course, be available in
sufficient numbers in the course of
time, but the human factor is more
uncertain. No one can tell what the
supply Of labor will be after the war
has ended, but employees should re-
member n thing: A day OF reckon
ing is coming. The laggards Of today
will be remembered in coming years,
when the demand for men will not be
such as it is today. SO will the faith
full workers be remembered. The man
who gives to his job the very best that
is in him will not fail to receive his re-
ward when I'M day-no one can tell
exactly When-a period of depression
again prevails in this land, a time
when there will be more men than
jobs.

not far from the main road They
had just left 4 thick wood, and as
they approached, Rutledge pulled up
his horse and raised his field glasses.
It was a camp Of Mexican bandits.
They were cooking some food. while
their horses we're grazing some dis
lance away. Some Of them were
gambling; others were busy looking
over their loot, while several were
asleep under the trees. They had
brought some of their victims with
them, for. as he studied the field, Rut-
ledge discovered q number Of white
ome huddled together on the
ground, their hands and feet tied and
their faces wrapped in terror.
"They for outnumber u.s." said Rut-
ledge, "for they have three to our
one; but we've got to attack them and
save those women"
Then he ordered his men to dis
mount and, hiding their horses in the
bushes beside the road, the rangers
took their guns and crept cautiously
down the hillside until they were with
in a few feet Of the camp. Then they
opened fire. Several Mexicans drop
ped, while the others picked up their
guns and returned the fire Of the ram
gers. A hot fight followed. The ran
gers fought under cover Of the huge
rocks, toward which the Mexicans
rushed In the face OF volley after vol
ley, which soon thinned out their
numbers. But Rutledge had lost sew
eral men, too, and 1t looked ~ though
he stood in danger Of being defeated.
He and the Major tried to creep up
on the Mexicans BY lodging from one
rock to another, but the furious IRE
drove them back each time.
Finally. during q brief lull in the
fighting, Rutledge heard . bugle call
on the road behind him, and as he
looked around he saw a troop Of cav
airy dashing toward them. It was Col
onel Dalton on his way across the bor-
der to break up the bands that had
been sacking American towns. A few
seconds later they reached the spot
and sent their horses charging right
into the M~exicans, scattering them In

Der Of them. They finally drove them

One cole bitter night last February
a heavy freight train was slowly toll

make a siding farther on to permit
the evening passenger train, then due,
to pass. When about half way be-
tween two stations which, in that
vicinity, tire a considerable distance
apart, it plunged suddenly into a big

nine o'clock and intensely dark. The
flagman, quickly alive to the situation

ored out of the thicket and started
after him. There was but one course
to pursue. He could not turn back.
1t was necessary to flag the train
ahead Of him-.he safety of the pas
sengers depended upon that. To climb
the steep sides of the cut was impos-
sible. To stop meant a fight and prob
able meal for the bears. His only safe

He quickly unscrewed the Oil cups of
