MACK'S "'^Ws SlO MARKET STREET RAILROAD HONOR FORMER LEADER OF -TRAINMEN BROTHERHOOD; ADDRESS AT UNVEILING Galesburg. 111., Sept. 4.—"Good that men do lives after them" was the keynote of yesterday's speech by Wil liam Grant Edens. of Chicago. He made the principal address at the un veiling of the monument to the Jate Patrick H. .Morrlaey, a forijier leader of the Brotherhood of Railroad Traln nient. The ceremonies were held late in the afternoon at St. Joseph's Cem etery here. Mr. Edens referred In the highest terms to the achievements of the former railroad brotherhood lead er. He said in part: "Those of us engaged In the rail road train and yard service through the central west first heard of Morris sey, who was to be our associate and leader, In the year 1885. The young est of the then railroad brotherhoods, the Brakemn. was being formed by the pioneers and the enthusiasts of the service. Ho had already aban doned his railroad employment ot fyelght conductor and was attracting favorable attention as an office helper at national headquarters, and by his pen producing paragraphs for publica tion In the Brakemcn's Journal which made the magazine more attractive because of his contributions. "Some of us met hlmfo r the first time on our way to the brakemen's ccnventicn at San Antonio in October. 1886. -There he distinguished hlmselt as an adviser to the officers and dele gates. "From ISB6 to IS9O he continued his brotherhood activities, and at the St. Paul convention he succeeded the speaker as second officer of the brotherhood. During the previous years he had grown in knowledge from his railroad and office experi ence. He worked hard and studied while he worked, and in this way fit ted himself for the futiire growth of the chief of the brotherhood, which honor was bestowed on him at Gales burg In 1895, where he had won his bride and made his home. "There had been disagreeable condi tions in the organized railroad Held— also in the brotherhood—great con fusion existed in the minds of many .of the men who composed the railroad cider, as well as the leaders who had been entrusted with the work ot meeting the disastrous conditions ot 1893, but our friend wns well pre pared for the task confronting \-JVn.

Taken t'p Ilollrtxid Work "Finally after twenty-odd years given to this service, and at a time when there existed no opposition to I,is leadership, and when he might hove continued Indefinitely to head the brotherhood, he laid the pAwer and emoluments of the position aside and engaged to labor for a group of railroads in the Chicago territory. There has been some misunderstand ing, more ' misrepresentation, respec tive to this matter, but 1 think it can be said that he acted from honest n.otlves. "Big. able, well-grounded in his knowledge of railroad working condi tions, having railroad matters fairly burned into his brain—with a ready and miraculous memory—never bltte." nor underhanded —he did a valuable work In his new He finally accepted an important position in the operatig department of one of the greatest railroad systems of the ccvntry. . , . "His loyalty and high-mlndedness piompted him to sever his member ship with the brotherhood when he entered railroad service, but we know ho never changed his belief in the fundamental rights of men to organize and to be protected in their contracts. He was at heart and in his feelings still a brotherhood men to the day of his death. "The proof of this lies in the spon taneous movement amognst members of the brotherhood and which has re sulted in our being here this day to give evidence to our belief in his suc cesses in all the transactions of life. The members of our brotherhood and their fellow associates in the other orders and his friends pay grateful tribute to his memory by unveiling and dedicating tills beautiful granite brttherhood monulhent, made possible by the voluntary contributions of the lodges of the order." 1 Shortage of Clerks Is Reported at Marysville Marysvllie. Pa., Sept. 4. The shortage of clerks in the local yards has reached an acute stage. There are not enough members of the cleri cal force, regular and extra men combined, who are in condition to work to fill all the positions. As a result men are being drafted from other branches of railroad work to fill out the staff and one position has been abolished. On Sunday the shortage of clerical help became so serious that brake men were called to fill clerical po sitions. These men were paid brake men's wages, higher than tffose foi* clerical work. They are supposed to work only eight hours, but were kept on the job twelve hours, being paid their regular w;ages for the first eight hours and time and a quarter for the remaining four hours. The "twelve-to-twelve" trick has been abolished. Here an employe was used from noon to midnight to sign up workmen as they came to work. This work is now being done by other clerks. As occasion de mands, other clerks are compelled to work two light Jobs. Railroad Notes Lew B. Nebinger, usher at the Pennsylvania Railroad Station, has resigned and will work for the Har rißburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Com pany.

A3 a result, the Reading com pany has had quite a task in filling tlje vacancies caused by these, men entering the government service. Sixty-three railroad employes of the Reading Railway Company in Reading are subject to the draft as well as a number of men employed on the main line. Quite a few have passed the medical examination. Sunday was another very busy day on the Reading and the total number of cars handled on the Reading di vision was nearly 18,000. Nearly 3,000 cars were taken from the Ruth erford yards. The traffic on the East Penn was also very heavy. Col. Roosevelt Joins Kansas City Star Staff Kansas City, Mo.. Sept. 4. The Kansas City Star, under the caption "An Announcement," says: 'October 1 Theodore Roosevelt will become a member of the staff of The Star. Thereafter he will contribute regularly by wire his comment qj current events. "The Star has long felt that a daily newspaper would give him the best possible medium for the expres sion of opinion on matters on which his views are of prime importance. In this belief Colonel Roosevelt has now come to acquiesce. •"Several courses were open to him including that offered by an urgent invitation to write for a syndicate of newspapers. But he held that the strategic place of Kansas City, In the very heart of the country, and the sharing 1 of common ideals by himself and The Star made this newspaper the appropriate medium with which to ally himself."
