It was tried on the Pennsylvania lin and experience showed that there no accurate way of measur- ing the fuel. The experiment caused more confusion and dissatisfaction ever knew. The bonus system makes a cer- tain cl of employes dishonest, and Tam opposed to anything with such a tendency. Burning Real Estate “There should be competent instruc- tors to teach firemen about combus- tion, though, as a inatter of fact we are not burning coal on railroads any more.
