Under these circumstances work on the erection of the plant can be start ed by April 1 as Commissioner Lynch will advertise for bids just as soon as the measure becomes a law. For the last seevral weeks he has been in communication with half a dozen companies which erected similar plants, and it is Mr. Lynch's hope to have the city's plant in operation by the middle of May or June 1. This will be ample time as the repair con tracts with Alderman Charles P. Wal ter hold good until April 1 and Com missioner Lynch will hold the contrac tor to its provisions so that the citCs streets will bo turned over in ship shape before the alderman is released. What We Say It Is IT Is Just Plain Carelessness That is what ruins many a good watch. YOll wouldn't think of letting any other piece of machinery run constantly without frequent cleaning and oiling but you do that to your watch. You can safely let your watch run a year without having it cleaned and oiled. When you wait longer, you're damaging the watch. Bring it to Diener to-day and have it cxa'mined. If it needs any attention it will be economy to have it done now. It is always economy to have Diener do your watch, clock and jewelry repairing because you get perfect work fully guaranteed, and the charges are always the lowest for which good work— the only kind you want—can be done. Diener, 408 Market Street MONDAY EVENING, NEWS or TufH" \ | JjRAILROiSg>S ) STEEL EQUIPMENT MUST COME EASTER Less Than Half Number of Cars Change During Nine Years; More to Come Steel equipment is not coming fast, according to estimates made by Ed ward 15. Smith & Co., Philadelphia and New York bankers. In their weekly report the following figures are given: "The president of the Pressed Steel Car Company Is reported to have stuted that the railroads of the coun try during the past nine years have, on an average, ordered less than half of their annual new car requirements. It is estimated that an average of 250,000 new cars is necessary each year to properly maintain equipment of the railroads. "Freight car orders in 1914 amount ed to 80,264; 1913. 148,732; 1912, 234,758; 1911, 133,117; 1910. 141,204; 1909, 189,204; 1908, 62,669; 1907, 151,711; 1906, 310,315, and 1905, 341.315. "The Interstate Commerce Commis sion estimates that the total freight cars now owned by all railroads in the United States number 2,195,511. Of this number six railroad companies, including the Southern Pacific, Illi nois Central, Atchison. New York Cen tral. Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania Railroad, own 501,000 cars. "The life of a wooden car is calcu late*! at from ten to fifteen years and the life of a steel car from fifteen to twenty years. Under the circum stances it seems that it may be neces sary for railroad companies to enter the market extensively for cars during the present year." Joseph T.

This, of course, only applies to the freight movement. In order that you may know some thing about the work of these brake men, I have here a report of ob servations made by some of my repre sentatives on a number of fast trains on this division, which show that the brakemen, of whicjj there are two, performed the following service: Time Brakemen Work "The average time the front brake- j man performed service on the entire j trip was 35 minutes, and the rear brakeman 28 minutes. In other words, these two men were paid on the basis of 13 hours' work and the combined service to this company was a little over 1 hour. This investigation shows cleurly that there is no necessity for two brakemen on fast trains, and in fact there is very little work for one brakeman to do. in addition to the i work performed by the conductor and ] flagman. "In order to comply with the pro- I vision of the full crew law, as it re lates to passenger trains, necessitates on my division alone an expenditure approximating $30,000 a year. Now. I as a straight business proposition, take j one of our through trains, for exam- I pie, say train No. 2; no doubt you j have ridden on this train, which leaves Harrisburg at 12.50 p. m., and upon which, under the requirements of the full crew law. we were compelled to place a second brakeman. The equip ment of this train alone Involves an investment approximating about $170.- 000 and I submit to you. do you think we would permit the movement of this train over this division If we felt it was not properly manned? Further, do you know that before this second man was put on we had a total of twenty-one employes on that train, and still have them? This includes the enginemen, fireman, conductor, baggagemaater and two brakemen and porters." In his statement Superintendent MeCaleb says he is the one person who knows what the full crew law does ?n his division, and that there are a number of trains run over his division that have more than the law requires. He continues: "Under provision of the law we can operate a train of twenty-nine cars over this division with a crew of five men. but should one car be added to that train an extra man is required. Costs $57,000 "You must realize that our income must be confined to solely what we get from the public, and it is the con cern of everybody that it should be spent to the best advantage. If we are forced to make an outlay of over $57,000 on this division from which we obtain no return, it is obvious that our ability to accommodate the resi dents of Harrisburg and at other points along the line of the Philadel phia division will be to that extent decreased. The public is discom moded through the curtailment of facilities, related industries are crip pled and wage workers lose their jobs. 1 believe that the policy that has been adopted by our company of endeavor ing to educate the people as regards the full crew law will result in their making demand upon the State legis lature to repeal the existing law in the interest of the public and as a matter of justice and fairness to all con cerned." Program Jammed With Fun For Boys' Banquet Three hundred boys of the city will be the guests of the Men's Club of the Stevens Memorial Methodist Church to-night at 7.30 at a big ban quet given in their honor. Short talks will be made by mem bers of the committee of arrange ments, which with music, and a bi,? dinner will make up an evening's pro gram that will be fun from start to finish.

Norman B. Ream, financier, the last to die, was seventy-one years old when he passed away, In 1915. Ho was worth anywhere from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000, so ho had a load to carry. George Westlnghouse, who didn't have so much money, and was of a little different type, died at sixty seven and one-half years. Perhaps he would have gone on much longer had not his great failure worried him. Anthony N. Brady started with noth ing, but died worth at least $75,000,000 and he didn't din till he had passod his seventieth year.
