BIG PLAN IS CONSIDERED
Railroad Officials Will Discuss Adoption of
Uniform Olaisificition.

Tho higher railroad oIllclalB of the entire
country. Including the presidents, general
managers and general freight olllelols of all
the lending systems, have under considera
tion at the prosent time a matter of consid
erably Importance. It 1 tho ndoptlou of a
uniform classification to apply on shipments
to any point of the compass. This plan baa
been under advisement and has been debated
for tnany yenrs, but recently the agitation
has bc"n revived and activity Infused Into
it i Unrh nn extent that the leading officials
have In prospect for an enrly date a meeting
to consider tho matter carciuny.
At present thero are three main classlflca
tlons tho olllclul, western nnd southern.
They are nil greatly nt vnrlance, differing In
tho principal points relatlvo to freight ship
ments. In '-he oniclal classification thero
ure six cluases. In the western ten and In the
southern eleven. Freight destined from tor
rltory covered by tho ollWnl classification
Into western or southern territory In most
Instances Is governed by 11 different class
raw In muny cubcb tho minimum weights
i,i,.ntloiil shlnmcnU aro widely at vari
ance. The commodity rates upplylng In ono
classification are higher or lower, as inn
rnso rimy be. than In the other two, and
vice versa. Owing to this condition of itf
.n,,iitn!inn tit rates on freight
uhlpmcnts passing beyond the conllncs ot the
territory governed by tno cinssuicauuu w.
Tectlvii at the point of origination Is an ex
tremely dllllctllt and complicated matter.
Tho adoption of u uniform classification
would not particularly benefit the rail
nnr thA Hlilonors either, no promi
nent railroad ofllclals maintain, except In the
nutation. Under a
uniform classification the uhlpper or ro
eclver of freight would bo enabled to com
thn rates on all shipments by con-
....i.i iv... inrlff nheets. At prcticnt the
nvrruco shlnnor Is entirely at sea on freight
charges until sotno expert rato clerk figures
out tho Intricate problem resulting from
thn effectiveness of threo classifications o
widely dlfforent.
As nn Instance of tho complicated situ
ntlon of rates, tho shipment of a car con-
i.ilnlnc an emlgrant'H otltllt irom a ixe
liraska point to a local point In Virginia
mav bo cited. From tho point ot origina
tion "to tho Mississippi river tho shipment
lotion tho western clnaslllcation, wnicn
permits tho carrying of ten head of live
ntock and places the minimum weight of a
car containing an emigrant's outfit nt 20,000
nounds. From tho Mississippi river to a vir
nintn pommon nolnt the official classifica
tion nrevalls. This limits such a ship
tnent to a minimum weight of 12.000 pounds
nnd permits tho carrying of flvo head ot
llvo stock. From tho Virginia common
volnt to Uio local point of destination tho
southern classification Ib cffcctlvo, which
limits tho number of head of llvo stock to
Jive, but changes tho minimum weight
hack to 20.000 pounds. Added complication
exlsti by reason of tho different classes
controlling such a shipment In tho different
classifications In tho western elasslllcatlon
clasw II is effective, In tho olllclul classlllca
iinn. second class, nnd In tho southern
elacKltlcntlon. fifth class.
Thn ndont on of ii unlforn classification
would removo nil thcuo intricate details
which aro present In computing rates upon
nearly all shipments, nnd tho quotation of
rales would be a comparatively easy mat
tcr.

Tho clghty-flvo I'hlladelphla watch case
cngravors, who wero locked out, aro Jubilant
over n letter received by (icorgc K. Nichol
son, president of tho Watch Caso Engrnvcrs
Association or America, from John C. Duelur
of Canton, O., president of tho largest watch
cuso factory in tho world.
Tho letter was as follows: "I nru In recelnt
of your favor of tho 3d, and In reply would
suy tho light you aro waging Is tho same I
fought with the wntch trust for over twelve
years.
"I want my competitors, when I glvo a
uniinr ror labor or gold, to do tho csimo
thing, but 1 cannot competo ngalnst firms
whoso employes work on tho 'minute sys
tem' and llko thoso In tho combination
against you, who put twenty pennyweights of
lead In a so-called solid gold forty penny
weight caso. They wanted to drive us out
of tho business with low prices, hut fulled.
This senseless oppression of employes, cut
ting of prices nnd debasing of tho goods has
got to stop somo time, and we would llko to
hnve It terminate nt once.
"Wo are glad that you havo taken the
stnnd you have, and this company will as
sist you In every posslblo way. If you
havo any engravers who arc In need of work
lot us know their names, and we will do our
best to keep them employed. If they ncod
us to assist them In getting hero, pleaso let
us know.
"Tho same argument now advanced by the
trust was used against us In tho fight twclvo
years ngo, when wo won single-handed and
alone. Then our enemies said: 'Wo will
bust Ducbcr up In thirty days.' They felt
qtllto sure ot it, becauso with ono stroko ot
the pen tho combination took away all our
customers. Had wo not been supplied with
sulllclent monoy to send our trnvelera to tho
retail trudo this factory would havo been
closed.

"JOHN C. DUKllKR. President."
At request twenty of the local engrnvcrs
will Icavo today for Canton, O. If necessary
a second Installment of men will go to the
lluckeyo Btato in a few days. The Dueber
factory, tho largest In tho world, employs
3,000 hands. Including 125 engravers. Ar
rangements havo been made slnco tho lock
out by Mr. Dueber whereby fifty or 100 more
engravers may bo put to work.
Tho minute system, by way of explanation,
provides thnt a case must be engraved every
thirty minutes. Tho men are employed on
tho bat Is ot C00 minutes to the day. When-
over more than thirty minutes aro taken by
an 'engraver to finish a case It means that It
Is taken oil his tlmo. Poor workmanship Is
tho natural result, as tho only cbj ct Is to get
as ninny eases completed In n given tlmo as
possible. It Is albo worse than what Is desig
nated us tho "sweating system," about which
so much Is heard. There nro very few en
gravers who can accomplish tho demands of
tho mlnuto system, nnd as n consequence
they suffer In losing much time that Is really
emnloved most dlllceutlv.
UTho watch 'caslr manufacturers held a
meeting In New York and combined to coin
I bat tho union movement of tho Independent
Watch Caso Engravers' of Amorlcu. Mr.
Dueber was requested to Join tho manufac
turers' combination to break tho backbone
of tho engravers' association, but unfor
tunately for them he declined.
Mr. Dueber says to all engravers: 'We
will not Join. Wo need no protection. Wo
will not nsslst to enslave them. Wo will
furnish work for nil good men who need
work and nssltt you In nny wny possible."
As Mr. Dueber has recognized the union In
his factory, tho Canton branch nt their
meeting Sunday Instructed their secretnry to
write Mr. Dueber thanking him for his stnnd
In their behalf. Had he Joined them pressed
cases would havo been put on tho mnrkct by
evtry factory In the country ns substitutes
for engraved ones. Hut slnco Mr. Ducbcr has
refused to Join tho combine ho will bo able to
supply tho mnrket with line hand-engraved
