Jan. 9.-What an American union la.

is demonstrated here.
Working in the big railway shops
here is unit of the U. s. army cngin-
GERS, recruited principally from one
of the best known railroads running
into New York. The men came from
the Eastern railroad shops where the
repair work is done. Every man was
a member of the union at home. His
union prescribed how many hours a
day he should work, his wages and
holidays.
Here in France today these expert
shopmen are repairing locomotives
from $50 a. m. until p. M. with an
hour off for dinner.
Working beside the American shop
men are French civilian shopmen. The
French shopmen work liesurely and
talk a great deal, taking in addition
tseveral breathing spells along with
eating spells. At eight O'Clock he has
breakfast, usually bread and wine
This follows the little breakfast he
ate at home early in the morning At
noon he takes an hour off to eat
bread and cheese with wine. Four
o'clock brings another meal of bread
and wine The American shOpmen
work at the usual American pressure
without rest periods and with single
meal at noon.
The result of American labor in the
local shops has been that broken down
locomotives are getting scarce on this
part of the French railway system,

got used to it," he said Now it isn't
so bad. The hours remind the men of
how easy we were having it back
home with the old eight hour day. We

railroad. But this is another matter.
All of us realize that it's for Uncle
Sam and we're all satisfied to work
any hours to beat the Germans. hope
the people at home realize what most

All echoes have some one place to
which they are returned stronger and
more distinct than to any other, and
that is always the place that lies at
right angles with the object of roper
cussion and is not too near nor TOO far
off. Buildings or naked rocks rc-echo
much more artistically than hanging
wood or wales, because in the latter
the voice is, as it were, entangled and
embarrassed in the covert and weak
