bad ORDER W0RKMEN
IS RAILROAD MENACE

Because Of liberal allowance by the
government, railroads may now pay
attention to bad order" rolling stock
and the Locomotive Engineers Jour-
nal suggests that some attention be
paid to bad order workmen.
A bad order" workman, says this
publication, is more dangerous than
any other part of the train mocha
nism.
1T is the duty of the railroads to
DISCARD some of the practices pre-
vailing of late and adopt more COM
mon sense, more humane methods of
handling train and enginemen so in
the future they will not, as so often in
.the past due to their lack of proper
rest at the terminals, represent the
weakest link in the whole system Of
train operation.
One of the most unfair and inhu-
man practices Of the railroads in this
respect is that of taking deadheading
time of a. crew, relieved under the 16-
hour law, out of their rest period at
tie terminal and sending them out
again, perhaps to face another 16-
hour trip with two or three hours
terminal rest. and maybe with none.
Safety first officials weep croco-
die tears of sympathy over the risks
taken and IT, injuries sustained by
train and enginemen, but wink at the
practices that deny them proper rest,
the most essential thing to promote
safety and efficiency in railroad
train work.
If the facts were known many
train accidents and cases of personal
injury could be traced to the lack of
proper rest for enginemen between
trips"

RAIL men CAN'T

Canadian National Railroad
Manager sues Order to
That Effect.

TORONTO, Ontario, Nov. 2S.-D. B.
Hanna, president of the Canadian ma
tional railways, takes the position
that when a worker is employed by
the government he shall surrender his
citizen rights.
Acting on this theory, Mr.. Hanna
gives notice that employees Of the ma
tional railways must decline political
office, and if they accept they auto
matically cease to be employed by the
road.
The order has raised a storm and
the official now explains that that is
nothing new. but was the rule under
private management The workers
reply that this is no defense, and ask
ii the road would be justified in fol-
lowing other examples Of railroads.

cause Of trade union affiliation?

Monotony Of Work Does Not Tend
TO DeveIope Labor's Mental Power

The The dizziness and monotony of
workers lives does not permit the de-
velopment Of mental power and imag-
ination, says DR.. Charles Myers of the
university of Cambridge in his new
book, Mind and Work. The author
is a member of the industrial fatigue
research board and was a consultant
in psychology to the British army
during the war.
DR.. Myers says the physiological
factors involved in purely muscular
fatigue are now fast becoming neg
liGible compared with the effects of
mental and nervous fatigue, monot-
ony, want of interest. suspicion, hos
tility.
THE psychological factor" he de-
clares, must therefore be the main
consideration of industry and COM

FARMERS VIOLATE law. :
D. GOVERNOR ALLEN ISLENT

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Nov. 49,
The Labor Bulletin asks Governor
Allen what he intends doing in the
case of farmers who are holding
their wheat because of prices that
they declare arc below production
costs.
1t is stated that at Salina and
other points in Kansas wheat
growers arc picketing elevators and
mills, "and refuse to allow any
'scab' brewer to market his wheat
at the price now paid.'
Under the Allen "can't-strike"
law these farmers are rctarding the
sale of fOodstuffs and are liable to q
penitentiary sentence and fine.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The 8-hour

of wisdom for employers to prepare

engineers in announcing their annual
meeting in this city on Dec 3.

Of the American society of mechanical
engineers and the American institute
of electrical engineers.
It is stated that Horace B. Drury.

steel industry"
During recent months" the an
nouncement states, "Mr. Drury has
visited practically all of the steel
plants in the United States working
under the three-shift system in an
effort to collect technical data cover
ing the details of their operation and
figures showing the results obtained.
"Mr. Drury's paper will be a gen.
eral review of his findings and will
constitute the first comprehensive
contribution on this important sub
ject to American engineering litera-
ture.
"Throughout industry there is a
steadily growing tendency to shorten
hours. In Great Britain, France and
Germany the three-shift day. has very
largely superseded the long two-shift
day in the steel industry.
because the three-shift system is
so obviously coming in America it is
the part of conservation and wisdom
for management to prepare for it,"
