The work of strengthening and rebuilding the bridges on the main tracks begun by the Xew York Central Hudson lliver in the spring of 1899 will cost in the aggregate approximating $5,000,00. Of this amount $1,000,000 was absorbed in operating expenses in 1899 and 1900, and $2,000,000 more was provided by a special improvement fund appropriated by the directors at the close of the fiscal year 1900 from the sur TJus revenue thus established, the directors have just set aside $1,500,000 from the surplus of the fiscal year that will end on June 30th, for the further strengthening and renewal bridges.

In the Spring of 186S the conductors on the Illinois Central Railway at Amboy, Illinois, instituted an associa tion called the Conductors' Union. Shortly thereafter the conductors on the Chicago, Burlington Quincy, at Galesburg, formed themselves into Division No. 2 of this UnioD. A meeting was arranged between representatives of the two divisions at Mendota, 111., in July, 1868, and the Conductors' Br6therhood was organized, laws were adopted and officers elected. Division No.

3 was organized at Aurora, 111., in August, 1868, and Division No. 4 at Centralia, 111., in September. fin October of that year the officials of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy ordered their men to leave the Brotherhood or the service of the companj', and Divisions 2 and 3 became defunct. In November, 186S', a call was issued to the railroad conductors of the United States and British Provinces for a convention to be held at Columbus, Ohio, December 15th, for the purpose of organizing a Brotherhood of Conductors. This convention was held, the constitution was revised, the benefit department instituted and officers were elected.

Annual meetings of the Grand Division were held until the year 1891, when the plan of holding the gatherings biennially was adopted. The records "of the Grand Division show its gradual growth to the present mag nificent organization from a small beginning. At the tenth regular sessions of the Grand Division the reports covering the year 1877 show that the order then had 51 local divisions, although ten of those had not reported for that year. There were 1,056 members of the order and 51 members of its insurance department. Five years later there were 64 divisions, 2,014 members of the order, 70 members of the insurance department and one insurance claim was paid during that year, which amounted to $70.00.

Five years later, at the twentieth session there were 225 divisions, 11, 247 members of the order, 4,766 members of the insurance department and during that year 52 claims had been paid, amounting to $129,500. At the twenty second regular session of the Grand Division, reports covering the year 1889 show that there wiere 249 divisions, 13,720 members of the order, 4,296 members of the insurance de partment, and that there had been paid during that year 63 claims, amounting to $157,500. At this ses sion of the Grand Division a change in the policy of the organization was adopted. It had lor a number of years followed a non protective policy, un der which the members were bound not to participate in any strike of railway employes for any cause whatever. It was believed that a protec tive policy, under which the members were free to act if circunxstances demanded, would be more satisfactory to the membership and productive of better results from organization.

At the twenty third session of the Grand Division the reports for the year 1890 show there were 267 divi sions; 11,453 members of the order, 3,953 members of the insurance de partment and that 58 claim. wvre paid in that year, amounting to $145, 000. At this session the first after the change in policy, a general recon struction of the laws of the order and of the benefit department was made and the prosperity which marked the later years is attributed largely to the successful and satisfactory opera tion of those laws. At the twenty fourth session, reports covering the year 1S91 and 1892 show at the close of the latter year 337 divisions, 20,234 members of the order, 9,942 miembers of the insurance department and that .164 claims were paid during the biennial period, amounting to $292,500. The successful operations of the new insurance laws is more apparent from the records from this time on.
