Jack Rowe, Jr., age 12 years, of Peoria, Ill., entered a tarpon, the first in the tournament to date, weighing 80 pounds, measuring 5 ft. 6 inche fs,with a girth of 32% inches.

Diesel locomotives are equipped with ewery modern device for maximum safety. They have automatic controls. They can be operated safely by one man. men—an engineer and a fireman—are now employed on.a diesel road locomotive.

If the ridiculous demands of these union leaders were granted, it would mean pay- ing out millions in wagés to men not needed in diesel locomotives. The leaders of the Engineers’ Union have ‘threatened to call a strike to enforce their “feather-bedding’” demands.
