John Scott, Federation Secretary,
Writes About Inspection. .
(By John Scott, Secretary Federation
System.)
Resolutions adopted by the shop
federation of the Harriman lines.
To the federal government, the state
government and to the public.
Whereas, lt has come to our knowl
edge that proper care and attention is
not bsingi given to locomotives and to
locomotive boilers now in use on the
Harriman lines, that the tests required
by law are not being made, tha't boll
ers are not being properly washed out,
that engines are being run on Che road
with broken stay bolts, that saw dust
rice, paper and other substances are
Kafn - irtoiA 4ntn V.(l ' - .
leaks in order to get thpse engines
over the road, that engine No. 2823
blew up at Imlay on Oct. 7th, injuring
one man and partially destroying the
round t housie, and that the safety of
tjhe employes and the traveling public
Is endangered thereby, and
Whereas, crippled engines ana now
being used tin railroad traffic, as well
as other rolling stock without proper
ly conditioned safety appliances, and
Whereas, unskilled and incompetent
employes are being used to repair
such rolling stock by the Harriman
lines to the great danger of the trav
eling public, and : - '
Whereas, laws have been enacted
by tjhe federal government covering
the construction, operation and In
spection of locomotive boilers and v
Now, therefore, be it resolved, by
the sbp ' federation of the Harriman
lines: - - , -.
FirstThat the practice of injecting
sawdust, paper, rice and other sub
stances Into boilers should cease and
the offenders punished, for th rea
sons that the use of such substances
clog the various pipes, low water in
dicators, feed water apparatus, gaugra
cocks, steam gauges, water and Bteam
pipes, water glasses and cocks, etc.,
which are the most Important factors
in the Ba'e operation of locomotives
since the water glass and gauge cocks
show the height of water In the boiler
and the accidents that occur to loco
motive boilers are almost entirely due
to the fact that the water is permitted
to get low thereby allowing the firing
surface on the inside of the boiler to
become overheated and when this oc
curs the pressure In the boiler will
force some part of the boiler to giiye
way, resultitfg in so-called boiler ex
plosions, '
Second That all boilers should be
washed out thoroughly once each
week and all connections thoroughly
cleaned, In order that all accumula
tions of scale, mud and foreign sub
stances may be removed, Inasmuch as
; the practice of injecting sawdust, pa
1 per, bran, rive, and other substances
!lnto the boilers without freqment and
thorough washing greatly enhances
the risk of accidents and jeopardizes
the lives of the engine cnew, and any
innocent by-standers who might be in
the vicinity of a boiler accident.
3rd That stay bolt testa should be
made as frequently and thoroughly as
required by law by competent and
skilled mechanics for the following
reasons: The enormous strain to
whlch a high pressure locomotive boil
fcr Is subjected necessitates the ut
most refinement In the proportion and
especially . In the proper staying of
the component parts, and to this end
the form and arrangement of the brac-
les become of the utmost Importance
These braces extend from the back
head to tjhe boiler shell, and from the
front flue sheet to the shall. There C-
to those which are in evidence wher
ever their necessity Id indicated. Boil
ers in tMs country are generally de
signed with five as the factor of safe
ty. In other words, to withstand flv
times the working, pressure to which
they will be subjected while In ser
vice, and all stay bolts and other
strengthening devices are proportion
ed in accordance w.itih this factor. It
will thus be appreciated that the lia
bility to explosion is exceedingly
small. It "is, in fact, Impossible for
the modern carefully designed boiler
to so fall without a pronounced defect
in. one of the component parts which
careful inspection would have reveal
ed, therefore, should a boiler explode,
lt shows that the boiler has been abus
ed and kept in service in a dangerous
condition with regard to the eafbty of
employes and the public, Stay bolts
which unite the fire box to the, outer
shell and which are made of wrought
Iron generally one inch in diameter,
although size, from 7-8 inch to 1 1-S
inch are used to a certain extent. Af
ter being screwed into the sheets the
ends are allowed to project about
3-16 of an inch. This la riveted over
both on the firebox side and the outer
shell. ' These " bolts, "owing to the "ex
pansion and contraction of the boiler
and other strains to whtch they are
subjected very frequently bneak, caus
ing Bteam to escape Into the cab there
by obscuring the vision of the opera
tor, and It is of the utmost import
ance that broken stay bolts be replac
ed promptly, aB the strain which they
bore formerly Is transmitted to the
adjacent bolts and the area of break
age is liable to extend witjh great ra
pidity, resulting in a boiler explosion.
. Fourth That a federal Inspection
should be made of all locomotives, and
of all rolling stock In order to insure
thie safety of employes and the 'trav
eling public, and to compel the use of
safety appliances.
