Presentation Address.
The following is part of an address
made by F. J. Doran, chairman of tho
protcctivo board of Division 88 and
member of the general board of the B.
of L. E.. Tuesday evening of last week
when veterans' medals wero presented
to Messrs. Vroman. Rollins. Gibbs.
Farrincton.Cruscnand Sullivan, retired
engineers:
Brothers and Sisters of tho G. I. A.
and B. of L. E.:
Wo meet hero this ovenintr to (ret ac
quainted and renew old acquaintances,
and spend a few hours in pleasure and
enjoyment. There nre many reasons
why tho tics that bind us in these two
organizations should bo secure and
strong, but wero I to undertake to fully
illustratctho many benefits and advan-
ages our Brotherhood to tho general
public and to the railroads, as well ns
to tho individual members themselves,
I could not do it justico.
Tho history of our organization dates
back forty-five years to 1803 when en
gineers wero few and railroads fnr be
tween. In the city of Datroit a little
band of eight engineers, who had the
wolf aro of each other at heart, organ
ized themselves into a society and
called it tho Brotherhood of tho Foot
Board. Tho object was to promoto the
efficiency of the locomotive engineers
and better their workine conditions.
They adopted for their motto "Truth,
Justice, Sobriotv nnd Morality."
in laying the foundation of this, ono
of tho first nnd greatest labor organi
zations on tho face of tho earth, thoy
proved to the world that it is tho duty
of every man, regardless of his posi
tion in lire, to contribute his portion
toward tho betterment of human socie
ty. If it wero not for what we sco,
what wo hear or what Wo read, wo
would be a very ignorant class of peo
ple. It is from the experience of oth
ers, and with their assistance, that wo
are able to add to our store of knowl
edge. Tho B. of L. E. affords us am
ple opportunity to improve our condi
tion. Tho Brotherhood of tho Foot Board
held its first convention in tho city of
Indianapolis in 18G4. It was there that
the name was changed to the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers.
in lcbY thev adopted an Insuranco
association in connection with tho
Brothorhood. for tho protection of a
little home. It is practically a banking
institution, but somewhat different
from the banking institutions through
out the cquntry, in that, it has never
oecn known to fail, in the th rtv-n no
years that it haa been in force, it has
paid out to disabled members, and
members' families, over nineteen mil
lions of dollars, besides making larcro
donations to charity.
Wo have now over oG.UOO members
in our Brotherhood, nnd our subdivi
sions are scattered from tho Atlantic
to tho Pacific ocean, and from tho
Gulf of Mexico to tho northern bounda
ries of Canada. Our organization is
growing stronger, not only in numbers
out in favor and inllucnce, in whatever
part of tho country n division exists.
We have members in every civilized
country on the faco of tho earth. Wo
have members who hold responsible
positions in the different branches of
the railway service. We havo members
who hold some of tho most important
public offices in the gift of tho Ameri
can people, and it is gratifying to know
that they havo so conducted thcmsolvcB
that thoy not only do themsolves credit,
but bring honor to tho organization to
which they belong.
Division 88 wus tho tirflt division of
the B. of L. E. organized on tho Union
Pacific Railroad, it was organized in
18G7 with nine chartor memberB. It
has grown until we havo had 201 mem
bers enrolled. At this timo wo have
122 members. What has become of
the other 79? Some havo left our citv.
and gone to other railroads. Somo
have been retired from railroad service,
and we havo stood around tho (rraves
of somo und paid tho last tribute to n
departed brotner. There aro but two
of those charter members livintr.
Brother Farrinirton and Brother Ro -
lins, two of our honored guests this eve
ning. For forty-ono years, these mem
bers havo stood by Div. 88 and proved
themselves Brothorhood engineers in
every sense of tho word.
When I came into tho hall this even
ing, and looked at those two old pioneers
oi Division bo, my thoughts wandered
back to tho early settlement of this
western country, and in my imagina
tion, I could boo thoao two brothers,
forty-three years ago, crossing tho
Missouri River into Nebraska and cast
ing their lot with this great Union
I'acliic Kailroad. At that time, there
wero but hfteen miles of track.
Brother Farrington and Brothe Rollins
wero employed in 1805 and thoy are tho
second und fourth engineers who wero
employed by the Union Pacific Rnil-
road. l hey have not only proved them
selves truo Brotherhood men, but have
been loynl to the Uompany and given
long and faithful sorvice. Brother
l'arrington was retired in 19015, after
forty years service, and Brother Rol
linH in 1907, after forty two years ser
vice. Brothers J. J. Sullivan and W. J.
Cruzen, two more members of Division
88, who havo spent tho best part of
meir lives in mo service oi this com
pany, nnd proved themselves truo
Brotherhood men huvo also been re
tired. Brother E. B. Gibhs, ono of the old
est members of Division 88, who ran
an engino out of North P atto in tho
early days of tho Union Pacific, and for
many years held oflicial positions on
different parts of tho system, was ro
tired some timo ago. Brother Gibba
has always hod n warm spot In his
heart for tho Brothorhood and Division
88.
Brothor Vroman. another retired
member of this division, and after
whom Division 88 was called, has been
in tho Brothorhood for forty-thrco
years, and an nctivo member of Divis
ion 88 for thirty-nino years. It was

Tho officials rcnlizo that Brother Vro
man is a pillar of strength to our or

thoy could depend on to give thorn tho

and justice. Ho has represented our
organization and defended our rights
not only bofore tho officials of this
great railroad, but in tho U. S. courts,
and ho so ably conducted our interests,
in such n gentlemanly and courteous
munnor, that he not only 1ms won tho
lovo and confidence of every engineer
but tho rospect and cstcom of every
oflicial on tho entire system.
Our railroads on wo'l as our railroad
men of todav owo n crcat deal to tho

more than the officials of tho Union
Pacific. Tho efforts tho old men put in
their work, thirty-five and forty years

this .western country, and wo, as mem
bore of Div. 88, appreciato tho action of

old Brother engineers on a pension.
And in behalf of Div. 88, I present to
