Preservation and eventual recon-
s3ruction of historic Fort Crawford.

spuirfe du Chen chapter of the
On A r. in securing an option on
j, IRE property from w. r. Graves,
s4fs owner, in an effort to preserve
a for historical purposes.
Fort Crawford was the most ia
nous OF any Of the forts in the
Northwest. The original post, Fort
shelby, was built during the war
~ 1872. Hardly had the first Am
erican troops taken possession OF
n when a detachment of British
froops. reinforced by Indians, came
down the Wisconsin river and laid
eeise TO it. The garrison was
forced to surrender and for a year
the union jack floated over the
frontier post, and southwestern
wisconsin was part of the Brit
ish empire
At the close of the war of 1872
the fort was evacuated and shortly
afterward most of the buildings
were Quilted by fire.
The American government then
rebuilt the fort on the same site,
calling it Fort Crawford. Later a
new site was chosen a mile south
on higher ground and a larger Fort
Crawford was erected.
Zachary Taylor, later president
Of the United States, was command
ant of it at one time. One of his
ucutenants was Jefferson Davis,
who led the Southern Confederacy
through the Civil war Davis fell in
love with Taylor's daughter and
married her, to the great displeas-
ure of the commandment. The fort
surgeon was Dr. Beaumont, whose
assistant, Martin ST. Alexis, had
a bullet hole in his stomach.
Through this hole, DR.. Beaumont
studied the processes of digestion.
The experiments thus conducted
still form the major part of the
knowledge medical science has of
the stomach and its functions. St.
Alexis is mentioned in many school
physiologies.

The treaties of 1925 and 1880,
wherein the Indians decided away
the last of their lands east of the
Mississippi river, were signed at
Fort Crawford. The Blackhawk war
conferred about it, and Abraham
Lincoln, then a young lieutenant,
was stationed at the fort during
this conflict. Chief Blaekhawk was
taken to the post as a prisoner
after his capture by the Winnebago
chiefs after the route of the Sacs
and Foxes at the Battle of Bad Axe.
Near the site of the fort is Fort
Crawford cemetery, where those
who died during their term of SER
vice were buried. The cemetery is
government owned and well cared

director of railroads.. in testimony
before the senate committee on in

McAdoo said.
Employees Are Patriotic.
As q step in the direction of US

(raiiroad) facilities and forces, the
railroad administration called on
the representatives of the organ
lied railroad workers to agree to
certain notifications in their con-
tracts with the railroads relative to
hours OF labor and to agree also to
modification of the rules governing
| the promotion of mechanics to ap-
prentices and helpers.
Under these notifications the
railroad employees periodically gave
up privileges and concessions
which their organizations had OBJ
tanned through many years of ne
gotiation and controversy, in which

hours of service to 10 per week
and to the promotion of all COM
petent helpers and apprentices to
mechanics wherever a shortage OF
mechanics existed.
The concessions granted by the
/ labor organizations at this time
could not have been obtained by the
railroad arrangements under any
conditions.
THE employees had previously re-
fused to make similar concessions
to the railroad corporations because
of their belief that once they gave
up these privileges they would new
er be restored under private con-

Perhaps the most persistently
stated charge against the railroad
administration is that hundreds of
thousands OF workers were unneces-
sarily added the payrolls when
the railroads were under federal
control and that Stacking by all
workers was a common practice.
walker ID. Hines, one of the coun-
try's foremost railroad managers.
who succeeded William Gibbs Nc
Adoo as Director general of trans
portation, completely refutes this
allegation.
In his report to the president,
March 1, 1920, Mr.. Hines said:
THE apparent predisposition on
the part Of a large portion of the
public to attribute this policy Tin
creasing the working personnel) to
a governmental agency has led va
rious speakers and newspapers into
a wholly incorrect estimate of the
situation
Hours Less Under e. s. Control
Practically all railroad workers,
Mr.. Hines said, were paid by the
employed was of no significance.
The outstanding fact is that the
government actually paid for less
hours than during private operation.
Mr.. Hines in his report said:
"The controlling fact in this mat
ter of the number of employees is
that the number is determined by
the number of hours they work per
day. Eighty hours of work can be
done in a day by eight employees If
they work 10 hours each, while it
would take 10 employees working
eight hours each to do the same
amount of work
1.-The 8-hour day has been estab-
lished as a general policy of the
railroad administration. This
change of policy has undoubtedly
brought about an icnrease in the
number of employees, but it has not
brought about an increase in the
number of hours of work paid for.
at is the number of hours of
work paid for and not the number
of employees which is the signiti-
cant thing with respect to operat-
ing expenses.
THE fact is that the number of
hours of work paid for by the rail-
road administration in 1919 was
less than in 1916, 1917 or 1918"
The efficiency of the workers dur
ing federal control is vouched for
by Mr.. Hines, who declares that
they delivered a greater number of
traffic units per man hour than
had ever before been obtained.
Testifying before the senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce, Jan.
"a, 1922, Mr.. Hines said that the
traffic units of service per man hour
had increased from 50 per cent in
1915 to Sc per cent in 1917 and
1918 and to 100 per cent in 1919, "A
greater number of traffic units per
man hour than had ever been OBJ
tanned before"
