The railway managers are flooding tho country with publicity regarding the "increase in wages" that is being demanded by the members of the four railway brotherhoods who are engaged in actual handling of trains, It seems the railroad managers can not make an .honest presentation of this issue any more than they can of the rate 'question, the question -of the;? valuation, er their inside financ ing; . . . The. railway employes are : not ask ing for an advance of wages. -In fact they are asking fnr the adoption of a plan that will decrease the in come of many of them. They are asking fur an eight hour day, instead nf being comiiclied to stay out on the re I fn.m 12 to If! hours. . Their mgiment iu favor of this clmrigj is rcasernb.'e. They say that passenger trainmen and fast freight trainmen would not be materially af fected by such a rule as few- of them are now on the road more than eight hours. The men who would be af 'feeted are. the trainmen who handle "dead" freight trains. These" men are on the road usually the limit per mitted by the federal laws 1(5 hours and often longer than that before they get bock to their homes. Their expenses on the road must come out physical and mental effect upon men of their ow n wages. The greatest ' evil, however, is the working that length of time. It necc no argument to prove that after eight or ill hours' continuous strum, one's physical nud mental activities get sluggish. It is during these periods, sny trainmen, that wrecks most fre quently occur; and then the railroad management's blame it on to the "carelessness" of the railroad em ployes. Even the trnveler in the Pullman gets tired after a.lU hour ride during the day. But the man in- the engine cab must keep fresh; he must kee liiHMnentnl activities keen tor he must see every signal, keep iu mind every i in U it. ii mi i ii in imiiith n - murium yard must know just what every one of all the way from 5U to SIM) witcli, signal and block lights mean, ami if is one of the first symptoms ami re - I suits of long hours of work, nnd men- tnl dullness comes a close seoond. "Safety first" for the traveling public I demands that men on ruilrouds be not overworked. There is yet another side one which affects the 'veinmereiul side of railroading. Why "are some freight trains handled with such speed that men who handle them arc not on their runs over eight hours, while other freight trains hauled with the same Class Of motive power and Over tllC ! finHlc right-of-way, are 14 to 20 hours HiiriiiK one division!

I'onerete as a road building material is of " perhaps more universal aduption than any other material now in use," said director Logan Walter l'nge, of the office of public roads of the t'uited States de partment of ngrieultiiie. today.

Improved concrete for road building us well as for other puiposes, that, is proof against water absorption has been announced by the department in oil mixed concrete. After extensive experiments with a view to producing a nou-absorbant con crete mixture, the department found that the addition of ten per cent of henvy, mineral oil to the Portland ce ment paste nctel as an effective repel lent to moisture. The susceptibility of concrete to wnter absorption had long been recognized as one of its in herent weaknesses us a road building material. The addition of tiie oil does nut low er the tensile strength, the department has found, and has the further advant age of making the mixture impervious to the destructive action of alkali salts.
