Ask a 14-Hour Day Limit The railway brotherhoods were represented on Tuesday at the meeting of the-special committee of the house of commons, which has under consideration the re- vision of the railway act. Calvin Lawrence appeared for the bro-` therhood of l0.com.otive engineers, W. L. Best for the brotherhood of locomotive aremen, and J. L. Pelletier for the railway conduc- tors. ' The brotherhoods were unani- ous in requesting that a clause . e stricken from the-bill before the committee which authorizes the Dominion Board of railway commissioners to permit the rail- way companiestto remove a fill- ing between frogs and wing rails in thewintertime. They claim that many railway men have been maimed and killed by being caught between the rails. The motion to strike out the clause was nally allowed to stand over until `the railway commission be heard from. - n;-.zuu.,4 .nn. g... The brotherhoods also asked to have the bill amended so as to require semi-monthly payment of wages, but the principal point in controversy` before the committee was that clause of the bill which authorizes the Dominion Board of Railway Commissioners to x the hours of service for trainmen. -4-V...-J V. 1-vu -n\la un nu.-.. n\JJ.Au Messrs. Lawrence and Best, representing the engineers and conductors, urged direct parlia- mentary action. They_- recounted a number of fatal accidents which hadresulted from engin- eers and remen being kept con- tinuously at work for 18 and 24 hours, and `even longer. . These long hours were imposed upon me-n handling freight trains, but the_y caused-accidents which im- periled passenger trains. They explained that the conductors and hrakemen were less interested in the matter a because they could look for a rest on a long trip and get a sleep in the caboose. The engineer had to lock m1t_ for his locomotive, and practically got no rest. ' A . "The clause stood over until today. when the I-epresenta"- tivcs of the. brotherhomls will a- gain appear before the committee. Many ofthe nervous wrecks of the` present growI_1-up generation are the result of fear instilled in- to them "when children. .

He is buried in the cemetery at Dover. When the .call came for recruits from Canada for the Royal Navy, he enlisted in January and after only a short training entered up- on active service. Historic Engagement g The battle in which Mr. Night- ingal_e met his death was in keeping with `the highest tr:adi_- tions of the British Navy. Two British destroyers on patrol duty in the English Channel off Dover on the night of April 20 came up- on a otilla of six German de- stroyers, and then ensued an en- in the history of naval engagements. German destroyers were torped- oeid and rammed : every gun a`- board the combatants was work- ing, sweeping the decks and tear- ing gaps inthe sides of the op- posing craft. There was the locking together of a British and German destroyer, and the men fought furiously hand battle. in a hand-to-_ Mos. M. Soearin and daughter were in Toronto last week for a few days. German seamen of a rammed destroyer climbedoaboard one of the British boats, and a midship-F man fought them back with an: automatic revolver. They werei killed or driven again into the seal by British Jackies who came to the midshipman s aid. The British destroyers were! the Swift and the Broke, and, al_ though they received many Wounds, they returned to port. The story of the engagement, compiled from the accounts of officers and men, has been made public `in the form of an official report. It is an exciting and gra- phic story of a boarding encoun_ ter with cutlasses and hayonets, recalling the days when wooden warships came together and the men fought on the decks.
