A FRENCH RAILROAD CENTER. Dec.
80. (By Mail. l.)-Whot an American
union lsboC man can do when its for
his country and not a corporation he's
serving is demonstrated here.
Working in the big railway shops
here IS a unit Of the t. S. Army En-
gineers, recruited Principally from one
Of the best known railroads running
into New York The men came from
the Eastern railrocd shops where the
repair work is done. Every man was a
member OF the union az home. His
union prescribed how many hours a
day he should work, his wages and
holidayr.
Here in France today these expert
sh0pnlen are repairing locomotives
from $50 q. m. until p. Ia. with an

follows the little breakfast he ate at
home early IN the morning At noon
he takes an hour of 20 eat bread and
cheese with red wine. The American
shopmen work at the usuol American
pressure without rest periods and with
a single meal at noon.
The result Of American labor 10 the
