DOWN AMONG THE COACIIERS
Where and How the Union Pacific Makes
Its Gilded Flyers.
THE EVOLUTION OF THE LOG. '
Tlio Itluc , Progress ntul Decline of
Old No. 7 How n Lout Car was
Found After Having liccn
Appropriated.
Down on the bottoms , nt the foot of Cass
itrcct , enclosed by n high board fgiicc , which
Is painted n dull , cheerless brown , there Is n
beehive of Industry , the Interior of which Is
but llttlo known to the ordinary citizen who
flnlly plods along the busy , bustling thoroughfares -
fares of the business portion of Omaha.
This Is the nhopj of the Union Pacific rail
road , nml to reach them you must pass In
spection nt , the outer gate , where you are
turned over to John Wilson , nslstnnt super
intendent of moUvo power and machinery.
After being ushered Into his presence , if your
business Is of n legitimate nature , you are
Riven n psissport , which allows you to go from
Department to department , where you cnn see
the workings of the ponderous and Intricate
machines which manufacture everything from
Ihe drivowheel of n locomotive to thosmnllcst
tnek used In upholstering n car scat.
Probably In this great workshop , where
hundreds of skilled mechanics toll , there Is no
place ( if moro interest than the ear shops ,
located in the extreme northwestern corner
of the grounds occupied by the shops.
'Looking at them from the exterior thcso
buildings , which nro painted the same dull
color , present n cheerless and forbidding
appearance. But when once Inside the scone
is changed and It Is n pleasure to watch thorough
rough lumber , as It passes from hand
linntl until , nt Inst ns n result of the labor of
human hands , you observe a beautiful car ,
capable of carrying Its load of human lives in
perfect safety.
The working force of the qar shops. 414
men. Is divided Into seven gangs , over which
A. M. Collctt has general supervision , nnd
that ho understands his work there can bo
but llttlo doubt , ns ho has been with the com
pany twenty-two years , nnd twenty years of
that time he has occupied the important posi
tion of general foronmn.
Each gang of men Is In charge of a foreman ,
J. M. Hlco having control of the carpenters ;
J. Stout , the painters ; J. W. McCune , the
woodworkers ; G. E. Stratman , the up
holsterers ; 11. Anderson , the repairers ;
George Andrecn , the silver-platers , and Jacob
Ncff the truck and airbrake men.
The buildings in which thcso men work
covers n space of 170x400 feet nnd are two
stories high.
In building a car , J. W. McCuno goes to
the lumber yard , selects his timbers for the
frame work and has them taken into the
shops , where his men work them down to the
proper dimensions , square them up nnd
then turn them over to the carpenters who
nro under the directions of J. M. HIce.
These men have a more dlfllcult task to per
form , for they build the cur , framing and
putting It together.
As soon as this is done , everything is
turned over to the painters , who are under J.
Stout and in a few days , if it bo a freight
Kir , it has taken on a
brown color , iti white letters ,
Which comprise the words , "Union Pacp1 ! . ' , "
familiar from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast.
While nil this is going on , if it bo n pas
senger couch that Is being constructed , Jacob
NelT and bis men are busily engaged lu get-
ling the tmcits nnd air brakes in place , and
Amlrccn's men are doing the sllverplating
to bo followed up by Strattniuu's. force of up
holstcrcrs.
This Is not accomplished in a day , nor is it
In a week. To build u coach requires from
Ibrce to four months , but when ono Is built , it
Is so perfect that It is sent out on the road
Without having to bo tested , though in other
thops cars uro frequently tested fo'r weeks be
fore being put Into fust trains.
Until a few'years ago most of the freight
cars and a largo number of the passenger
coaches , together with the mail , baggage and
express cars , were built In these shops ; but
since the system has constructed its now lines
the business bus become so enormous that
most of tlio cars have been built on contract
in the east , and the work of the shops hero
has been entirely in the nature of repairs and
rebuilding the coaches which have grown old
In the service or been damaged In wrecks. Of
th'cse , during the past three years , from ! I30
to 400 passenger coaches have passed through
the shops monthly. Many of them thatcomo
In out of wrecks are practically rebuilt , nnd
when they again leave the shops they are vir
tually new caw.
A passenger car us regards style Is like n
lady's bonnet. It will not wear out but the
etvlo will change to such an extent that it
will bo useless in the passenger trufllo mid
must bo put to some other uso. The history
of old No. 7 best illustrates this.
In 18ti7 the Omaha shop turned out No. 7 ,
its first passenger coach. In those days the
coaches wcro painted .a bright yellow , mid
this coach , with Its gaudy exterior , its ele
gant interior and Its low "deck" was the
envy of all eyes. It carried George Francis
Train to the coast , and when the ofllclals
came on from the cast it was always at their
Borvicc. At last , however , tho''high-decks"
became fashionable and No. 7 was put on as n
smoker mid for n time performed it-s duty In
this cupaclty.
The next thing complaints commenced to
como In and there was a crying demand for u
better car. Then it was run second class for a
time , and oven second class uassongers kicked
for bettor nccommodatlons. The next move
was to take the car Into the shous , glvo It a
thorough overhauling and send It up Into the
mountains torunonsomeof the now branches ,
where its style was satisfactory to the old
miners until people from the effete cast set
tled In that locality nnd objected to Its puss-
Ing through the towns. The old relic was
thnn imt , Into thn piMlirniiit. m rrii'n. whnm fni *
B few years it was considered good enough.
Once inoro , liowovcr , tlioro was n kick , and
oven the iK'ojilo from the other side of the
ocean refused to to ride in tlio old pioneer ,
end It was accordingly turned over to llm'
working crews , whom It Is now boliitf used. [
The history of thlw cur Is the history of till
other curs , and thus it Is readily seen that u
coach goes out of style loiiu buforo it wears
out.
Freight cars go through about the saiuo ex
perience. Seven years ago standard cars liml
u capacity of ten tons. Now they are consid
ered useless and the car with a carrying cu- '
paclty of f > 00oO ( ) pounds Is the standard. Bag-
Kago and express curs ( jo on forever , the style
never changing and many of tlio cars that
went out on the llrst overland trains are in
use today , though they hnvo been repaired
nnd repainted times without number. It Is
not generally supposed that a car can bo lost ,
BO perfect. Is tlio system of tracing , but such
Is the cnso. . Twelve years ago n passenger
car was turned out of the shop and In ono of
the boards on tlio sldo there was u knot that
when dressed down represented to some ex
tent a hiiinan face. This car was sent out In
nn overland train and In some manner , in
switching In Salt Lake City , was left out of
the train. A hunt was at ouco Instituted ,
Imt it could not bo found. Tracers
wore sent over the entire Bystetn , but
the car failed to show up ami In
the company's olllco It was charged up us lost ,
it having been supposed that it was caught
In u wreck and burned. Flvo years later , as
Mr. CollMt was walking down the yards , his
eyes caught u peculiar llguro on u car that
belonged to an eastern road and calling sev
eral of hU old-tlmo men about him , they at
once decided that it was the cur that had
been lost for so many years. It was at once
conllscated und upon the eastern road being
notified , no dunmud was intulo for the return
of the car.
The pattern room of the shops is n most
interesting department. It U situated on the
second lloor of the building the farthest east
nnd ' in it , in inlnlaturo , is every portion of
over'v style of car that bus been built in
Onuuia since the shops were established. In
the rear of this , ono finds the sliver plating
department , where George Audrecu mid his
trusty assistants labor.
To bo a sldllful plutcr , requires n man
to know something of chemistry , as
chemicals in certain proportions must
bo used in the electro-bnths , which
consist of huge tubs tilled with solu
tions. If silver plating is to bo used sheet
of pint ) Oliver one-sixteenth of an Inch In
thcKiieiS | : is suspended from u copper rod
wear the side of the tub , whllo from another
rod of similar material the article to bo
plntod la suspended. Tbo electric current is
Uicn turned on mid in a few hours the
of silver has disappeared , but it has not gone
out of existence. It has formed a coating
over a window stop , n screw head or n
thousand nnd ono other things that go to
beautify the intnrlor of llrst class passenger
coaches. .
The work of gold plating Is performed in
the same manner , though not to so uro.it an
extent. After coming from the bath thcso
articles have a dull appearance , but this soon
disappears lifter they have passed through
the hands of tha bunilshnrs.
For n tlmo after establishing the shops , the
disposition of the shavings , of which Iiupo
quantities dally accumulate , was n serious
question. IJut by an Ingenious contrivance ,
they are now readily disposed of. Over each
planing mnchlno nn opon-mouthcd plpo has
been placed. Thcso pipes pass through the
upper lloors whcro they connect with u
larger pipe , In which there Is a huge fan.
The engine which operates the machinery
keeps this fan In motion. The suction draws
the shavings into the plpo and carries them
to the furnace Ir. the rear of the buildings
where the two great 8oO horse power engines
are located.
Fatal accidents have been exceptionally
few , nnd the death rate In the shops .has
been loss per capita than in any other manu
facturing c. tnbllRhtncnt In the city. The
llrst mau tilled ' wits Ole John
son , n Swfcdo. This1 happened
In ISfVS. Ho was working on tha roof of the
building occupied by the planing mill , nnd
slipping , ho fell through the glass roof to the
floor below , a distance of thirty feet. Ills
skull was crushed nnd ho lived but two hours.
The car shrjps hnvo n lira department that
is unequalled and Is composed of twenty men
under the command of Charles Fisher. The
apparatus consists of u hotfo cart and the
Dunint steamer. The men nro thoroughly
drilled and caji cover any point In the shops
within three minutes from the tlmo the alarm
is turned It ) from the alarm system , which Is
Independent of the up-town circuit.
Onrpont rs' Olliucrs and
At n meeting held at Gate Ctty hull Tues
day evening the members of carpenters'
union , No. fiS , elected the following olllcers
for the ensuing quarter : President , Charles
Hicnhnrt ; treasurer , William B. Musser ;
corresponding secretary , William Mcldon ;
financial secretary , John Peterson.
In selecting u delegate to represent the
union at thelrgener.il convention of the car
penters tuul Joiners , to be held at Chicago ,
August 4 , William U. Musser was the unani
mous choice.
The convention , which will bo attended by
delegates from every carpenters' union in
the United States and Canada , will bo in ses
sion two weeks. During that time , In addi
tion to discussing labor questions ,
it will decide upon u scale of
wapos that shall be maintained
In all cities where unions are in existence
T. V , Powdorly , Halph Beaumont and a
number of other prominent labor advocates
of the country will bo in attendance to ex
press their views and give advice upon the
various subjects that may come before the
convention.
The last gathering of the kind was held nt
Buffalo. N. Y. , two yours ago , and was at
tended by l.'OO delegates , this elty ut that
time having been represented by Mr. Musser.
tlio ( tnrliers Union.
Several months ago the barbers union took
up the Sunday-closing question , and By forc
ing it to an issue , went to pieces.
During the past few weeks , n number of the
members who favored closing on Sunday have
taken hold of the remnant of the old society
and have been able to once moro place it upon
Ita feet. Within n few weeks , ns u con
sequence , the light will bo foughtover again ,
with some assurance that the men who favor
the six day rule will come out winners.
Before going into this lust deal , they an
nounced that they had consulted the various
labor unions of the city and received pledges
of support which will not bo broken As be
fore , the light will bo between the shop
owners and the Journeymen , the shop owners ,
or n large n amber of them favor u seven-day
week , while , almost to u man , the jonsncy-
nicn will ask that six days shall constitute a
working week.
Hcci-iiitlng Tiillors.
A movement is now on foot to fill up the
tailors' union and make it ono of tuo strongest
labor organizations in the city.
Last season , with a full fledged strike on
its hands , and the members who wcro out ot
work to support , the treasury was depleted
und a disruption was threatened. Ltill. the
old organization was kept up alter u fashion'
although no business was transacted. This
.season the men Having had plenty to do , nnd
feeling in good syirits und lit peace with all
men. they have < ron out into' too byways and
hedges and gathered up the knights of the
needle and thimble until now the organization
has ! ) OU members in tno ranks , with
moro coming in at every meeting. They
point with considerable prile to the work
accomplished during the past six months , us
they claim that at Unit nimo there was only
three or I'oua union shops in the city , while
now , with three exceptions , the shop owners
will give meferenco to union men. So far
this season , work has been plenty and wages
fair , with do prospects of uny labor dilliculty.
Hod Carriers.
Two years ago the hod carriers boasted
that , In there union , they bed U0 ! mem
bers In good standing. The b ick layers'
strike that followed , worked sud havoc in the
ranks of the organization , and n few months
later , whllo their union was not broken up ,
its inllnenco was so weakened that it was
hardly reconlzed in the circles of united labor.
This season the go-ahead members have in
fused now life Into the old orga'nlzuti and have
put It upon , its feet , so that Ithas about gained
what it lost. To do this has required u vast
amount of work , but the prime movers not
knowing such n word as full , have not onjy
themselves became entousiiistio , but have
worked up this hamo feeling among the mem
bers , until now the organization holds its
regular meetings and promises much before
the end of the present season.
Clerks' Jloiu-s.
The central labor union committee has
presented the petition for early closing to
those who refused before und boon favored
with tholr names with the exception of A.
D. Morse ujid Phil Lang , who refuse to sign
It , nnd wlios Q men claim to bo aatlstlcd with
their present hours.

A smell of chloroform , a slip half-wuy
through the open door , thtto doctors nproncd
with pure white cloth bending over the raised
couch , justn gllmiMoof nnaked-nrm lying
still along tho'whlto shoot. This passing
glance ono may get perhaps as ho enters the
hallway on the llrst lloor of. the Clarksou
memorial hospital on Dodge street.
The operating table stands covered with Its
white oilcloth and towels , a melancholy sight ,
In the mlddlo of the operating room. Hero at
the sldo Is the water tnblo with 1W army of
tin basins and towols. An abundance of
light comes through the north windows. The
room Is bare of "furnlturo , an oilcloth irrit and
the doctors' high stools complete Chu otitllt.
To return to the hall ono must pass through
the apartment of Mrs. Moore , the matron.
This Is a moro cheerful place , though occu
pied but n small part , of tho"tl'mo by its
owner , who continually busies herself else-
where. The reputation this plnco enjoys Is
duo largely to lt.i matron and attendants.
who are till practical nurses and delightful
women.
Directly across the hall is the p.trlor or
waiting-room , furnished plainly with nn
ubundnnco of easy chairs. On the Wall hangs
a half-length portrait of Bishop Clurkson.
The center tnblo Is furnished with books and
papers , and a largo tray Is llllcd with the
cards of visitors.
Up the stairs on the second floor are the six
rooms given to older patienta. Three uro
occupied. The cots stand with coverlets
tucked in waiting for expected newcomers.
Each room 1't.s its several chairs and dresser
and llttlo table. The iron cots with br.iss
trimmings are inndo up entirely in while.
Immaculate white linen Is everywhere. Tiio
nurses , with white caps and apron * , cool and
ready for everything , soothe the tired pa
tients quite as much us the medicines they
bring from the closet at tlio stairs' top. All
through the building is an air of cool cleanli
ness and the disagreeable odor of drugs
gives wuv to that pleasant one of abundant
roses 'I'he patients on this floor are all doing
well , ns , with two exceptions , is the c.isu
throughout the hospital. The patients amuse
themselves by rca'ding or by visiting each
other. Patients arc introduced by the nurses
or become acquainted among themselves and
call upon each other to gossip. It is surpris
ing how much they know of what is going on
"Indoors , " r.s they are given no information
by the nurses , who answer every inquiry
about another's health with "Ho is better , "
whether he is so or not. They will tell you
that Mrs. T. is to bo operated * upon when the
nuraoe are the only ones supposed to know it.
They pick it up from accidental remarks of
the nurses ancl compare notes when together.
The children are on the first mid third
floors , in little cots placed in rows along the
room's side. Two young boys with hip dis
ease are In the east room. Tlu-y have high
times u hen the doctor isu't doing anything
worse than joking them. One little fellow
will curls had Tin : BIB : before him , not read
ing , but looking at the pictures in the adver
tisements. The boy with the we.ik sr'no '
llrmly intends to bo monkey for soma organ
grinder when he gets out. . Two little girls
uro in the west room. All are provided with
tovs mul the kind nurses olten roii'l to them.
On the llrst floor where , as he climbs the
hill , ono often catches a glimpse of a little
body in nwhito gown , perhaps of a bare arm
or leg as they throw doll clothes at each
other , are two girls perhaps six years old and
a baby boy. One girl was too sick to look up
today , but the other sat by the window bath
ing her sick doll. i
Frederick Prayer is two and a half years
old and is afllicled with malignant cancer. In
deed , the nuitroii , who unselfishly devotes all
her spare time to him , says that it is but a
question of time till ho will die. He has a sad
story. His parents are both youngand when
the cancer began to grow on his face , and
Ignorant neighbors to tell great talcs of It ,
his young father deserted them all and has
not been heard from since. His mother is a
cook ut the Creche and bos a younger child
which she brought throJgh Wednesday's
rain to bo doctored at the hospital. The little -
tlo patient has been a bravo baby and has en
deared himself to the nurses by his wonder
ful brightness. But ho is sunk so low as to
remain in almost continual stupor. This per
sonal mention is made by request of Mrs.
Moore , the matron , in the hope that it will
reach the father and toucn him with some
sort of feeling for them.
