WHY SLAM THE B. & o.?
By John Bush

R. S. Binkerd of New York, who
recentlv conducted the industrial sur
vev of Newark, made a report at
meeting held in the Y. M. c. A. build
ing last week, which has stirred up
veritable hornets nest at the b. q y.
shops. After handing out a few
boouets Mr.. Binkerd quoted from an
alleged interview with the vice presl-
dent of the road the statement that
the B. & O. shops in Newark lacked
skilled labor, and that every time
foreman was needed or a skilled work
man was required for difficult piece
of work it was necessary to go out
side of Newark to get a competent
man. This statement was given un-
necessary prominence by a Newark
city daily, which has created much
adverse comment among the hard
working and efficient force at the b.
& O. shops, as the statement, regard
less of the source from which it orlgl-
mated, is absolutely untrue and mis-
leading.
With the exception of four men
everyone of the following foremen
now in charge of the various depart
ments at the Newark shops are home
products: w. A. Reel C. H. F. Cart
ner, w. F. Floyd, Geo. Duffy, Frank
Bailey, G. P. Quinn, Thos. George,
r. D. Pierson, P. L. Foran, w. I.
Davis, ]. S. Barrick, NJ. Fisher, c. A.
Church, j. Cullinan, H. M. Sherrard,
C. C. Hupp, j. w. Hughes, R. j..
Brooker, Leo Thomas, Ira Peterman,
O. w. Burke, VIM. Colling, VIM. Clug-
ston, r. S. Davis, C. M. Hinger, VIM.
R. Browning, H. w. Wright, P. H.
Graft, J. H. Fuller, G H. Franklin, F..
c.. Maranville.
The four who learned their trade
outside of Newark are P. S. Robb, G..
A. Card, Dan Ochse and Geo. Tagg.
That the ability of graduates from
the Newark shops is recognized by
outside industries is evidenced by the
fact that a great number of former
employees are now holding responsible
and lucrative positions with many
railroads and corporations throughout
the United States. Among those thus
employed may be mentioned: Taylor
Smith, P. B. Harrison, ]. B. Kill
patrick, r. F. Fitzpatrick, Thomas Kill
patrick, T. German, T. Daily, George
Moriarty, Jas. Jones, VIM. Sheridan,
Willis Boggs, H. L. Schildhauer, Fred
Haag John Herlihly Joseph Kane, w.
Gilmore, H. SCISSOR, Ed. Ritter, Ed
Hilliar, C. Cady, and probably others
whose names are overlooked; but the
fact that these men are all making
good and have been and are being
steadily promoted proves that the
best material in the country has been
educated at the good old B. & 0. in
Newark.
Now a word as to the statement
