desperately clinging to the ice and
who had managed to keep his head

procured a rope which with the help
OF Ralph Torrance was thrown to the
struggling boy. The youngster seiz.

her assistant were able to keep the
little fellow from going under the ice

The plan has been endorsed by the
executives of the brUtherhoods who
represent 100000 men, aud by the ex.
ecutives of the railway unions which
come under the head OF the Amer

Ing about 100000 workers. The
scheme has already been embodied
In a bill TO be presented to Con-

railway employees government bonus
