Gently at a hearing of disputes which
led to their striking.
They said men in engine service re-
peatediy are carried from locomotives
unconscious as the result of gas and
heat caused by coupling pusher engines
to trains going through tunnels on
Clarks Gap hill.
Before 1920, testified representatives
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen and the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, pusher
engines were separated. one being
placed in the middle of the train The
men contend that the. combination of
gas and heat scansed by coupling en-
gines is intoIerable when the train is
passing through tunnels; that the air
conveyed to them from reservoirs while
they are wearing gas masks frequently
becomes unbearably hot, forcing them
to remove their masks and leave their
engines at risk of life and limb, and
that the heat causes the peeling of
skin from the face.

REDUCTION OF WORK STOCK
Among Other innovations Brought
About Is Variation in Cropping
System, Increase in Size Of
Farm and Fields.

(Prepared BY the United States Department
of Agriculture,
Numerous changes In the organiza-
tion and operation Of farm may be
effected by the use of a tractor, ac-
cording to recent investigations by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture These changes may be reduc-
ton in the number Of work stock,
changes in cropping systems, an In
crease In the size Of the farm, a
change In the size of fields, saving
in man labor, and changes In live
stock enterprises. Detailed results Of
the Investigations are contained in
Farmers Bulletin 1896 entitled
Changes Directed by Tractors on
Corn Belt Farms, just published. L.
A. Reynoldson, junior farm economist,
and Fl. r. Tolley, agricultural en-
gineer, are the authors.
Reduction of Stock.
The extent of the reduction in work
stock depends primarily upon the
number which are already owned, and
the work which it is planned to do
WIN eAtC tAoNt'Ae So3 . NAaN RNeAA
No rule is given to show In advance
how many work stock can be disposed
of on farms in general, but 1t is said
that on most corn-belt farms enough
horses will have to be kept to, cultivate
corn and do the other necessary herse
labor which comes at that time.
Where hired help is employed dur
ing the year. all, or part at least,
