Methods which have been followed
in the Santa F'e headquarters shops in
Topeka for the last fifteen years are
placed in effect in every railroad shop
in the country thru the agreement
reached Thursday by Director General
McAdoo and o. A. Wharton of the
American Federation of Labor. The
agreement calls for the Fastening of
repair work or locomotives and roll
ing stock of the national railway by
lengthening working hours, promotion
of apprentices and helpers and the
maintenance of open shop conditions.
The agreement, issued in the form
of an order to all roads by the director
general, recognizes Santa Fe eff
cheney the remedy for the national
emergency. Incidentally, while every
other shop in the country is being re-
organized, the monster institution
here will keep driving ahead without
a change in its policy. Also, while

pairs. The cars were brought here
and placed back in working order
Elastic" working hours referred to
in McAdoo's order Thursday have
been followed winter and summer by
the shops here for years. In the win
ter time the hours are cut. In the
summer time, when there is more
daylight, the hours are heightened,
meaning more work accomplished and
more pay for the men.
Rapid promotion of helpers and ap-
prentices, and observance of open shop
rules have been commandments in
the Santa Fe bible for years.

Democrat workers in the hotel lob

They are talking and preaching
patriotism. Yet in their zeal to make
the world safe for democracy, they
are not overlooking their deep rooted

Democrat party. There is little
thought or concern of the state ticket.

conscription and selective draft
methods of years before Woodrow

But the senatorship and the con-
