IN THE OLD NEW YORK STORE BUILDING
The record breaking Rotary club I
meeting was held yesterday at noon
at the shops of the Arizona Eastern
railway, where tiie members of the '
club were in reality the guests of
0. M. Scott, superintendent of the
Phoenix division of that system, who
transported the club in a body in a
solid steel train to the shops and
who assisted the chairman of the
meeting, E, Power Conway, in every
possible way to make It the record
breaking success that it was. No
less than ninety-two members and
guests sat down to the comfortably
arranged tables in the lecture room
of the large general office building,
among whom were a number of
prominent men from in and outside
the eity. The tables whereon the
luncheon was served were decorated
with Arizona, beauty roses which
were raid against the snow white
table cloths and were1 thus set off in
a most "Approving manner.
Superintendent Scott was down on
the program for a service talk, but
after a few preliminary remarks led
the way for the entire crowd
through the shops and through the
office building explaining things of
interest as he went. The whole club
congratulated and thanked Mr. Scott
for his efforts in making the affair
a success.
As a change from the usual order,
Chairman Conway announced that
each Rotarian in answering roil call
would state his place of birth, his
business and the number of years
he had made Phoenix home. This
was checked and the following in
teresting data was compiled on the
membership of the Rotary; by states
and countries: Missouri, S; Cali
fornia, 2: Wisconsin, 2; Ohio, 4;
New York, 3; Nebraska, 2; Indiana,
3: England, 4; Iowa. 7; Canada, 1;

thur Luhrs received quite a reception
when he announced himself as an
Arizonlan by birth, the only one
present.
D. A. Donofrio, the Cactus King,
delivered one of the gems In the
form of a service talk, that has yet
been heard. He detailed his exjieri
ences in becoming the cactus king in
such a witty humorous way that he
kept the crowd roaring with laughter
during the entire time. The large
list of guests who were present were
announced and each received a salvo
of applause. Capt. J. L. P.. Alexan
der was chosen as spokesman for
the guests, a position he filled with
his usual ability. The following j
guests were present:
City Manager W. A. Parish, Mayor
Geo. U. Young, Building Inspector
Herbert Mann, Earl Parker, City
Recorder Prank Thomas, Charles
Donofrio, C. M. Scott, A. R. Gatter, R.

don, Eng.; Thos. J. Prescott, S. H.

W.; W. Edwards of the Wakelln
Grocery, a Welchman by birth,
created much humorous comment by
appearing with his "luggage" In or
der to properly go to the "excursion"
into the country. His picture with
his trunk is published herewith. E.
A. Trincano, "hot air artist," came
very nearly breaking up matters by
insisting on beating his way. He
got there all right.
"I note from your program that I am
billed to deliver an address on railroad
"Service." When this was first
broached to me, I believe I stated that
,one could hardly do the subject justice
in n short talk, as we would hardly get
out of the side track and by the first
switch. Someone happily suggested,
the suggestion I am glad to say being
immediately adopted, that the Rotary
club and their guests, meet in this in
stance, at the. Arizona Eastern shoDS
the idea being, that this would enable
us to give a practical illustration, not
exactly ofwliat the common acceptance
of the term "Service" means, but of
some of the more important items that
go to make up the foundation of "Ser
vice". I believe I am safe in saying
that of the hundred or more represen
tative citizens assembled here today,
there are not more than half a dozen
who have before honored us with a
visit to our plant: and it is therefore
especially gratifying to have all of you
with us today that we may be given an
opportunity to show you that a gTeat
proportion of the money paid in Phoe
nix to our company, and at other points
on the line, tor freight and passenger
service, has remained right here. Dur
ing normal conditions, or I might say
"before the war", our daily pay role in
Phoenix and money spent here for sup
plies, amounts to over $1000 per day.
The plant wh:i we will show you af- j
tcr leaving here, represents an invest- j
m; nt of over J800.000, including j
grounds, buildings, machinery, supplies,
etc.
"I thank you for your attention, gen
tlemen, and if you will follow me, we
will continue our talk as we pass
through the different departments."
While going through the plant, Mr.
Scott stopped at every convenient place
and explained matters of interest '
The room in the office building
where the banquet was held, occupies
a floor space of 18x63, and is intended i
for an instruction room for employes.
When the furnishings are completed,
thin room will be equipped with drop
curtain for stereopticon views used in
connection w:th "Safety First," shoe
ing the proper and improper way to j
board or alight from cars, making
couplings, etc.: and where slides will
be shown by the representative of the
bureau of explosives of the American
Railway association, instructing cm-
ployes In the proper handling and j
stowing of explosives that arc handled
as freight shipments. This room will
also be equipped w-ith a complete bat-,
tery of air brakes such as arc used on
passenger and freight trains, with all
of the apparatus used in the cab of the
engine and on the cars, so that train
and enginemen may be given full in
structions with illustrations and lec
tures in the proper use of air brake ap
pliances. This room when completed,
will also be used for the monthly
"Safety First" meetings of the division
employes, where suggestions for the
safety of the public and employes arc
made by the employes of all depart
ments, discussed and acted upon.
Immediately to the right of the front
entrance of the office building, is lo
cated an emeigency hospital room with
an operating table, complete line of in
struments, anesthetics, bandages, etc.,
where in ease of injury to employes
about the plant, first aid to the Injured
may be given before the patient is re
moved to his home or the hospital.
The balance of the first floor and
the basement is occupied by the store
department, where a complete line of
stores of all kinds is carried from pins
and paper to the largest casting that
goes into the construction of locomo
tives. The second floor is occupied by the
general offices, the arrangement being
of the most modern. The general en
trance is into an eight cornered room
from which lead the offices of the
heads of each department, so that in
going into the office of any of these
departments it is not necessary to pass
through and disturb any of the em
ployes of another department. On this
f'oor are located the office of the su-p-rintendent
end his assistants in the
different department. The offices of
the dispatcher, paymaster, time clerk,
civil engineer and drafting department,
master mechanic, engineer of mainten
ance of way, and filing room. Each
floor being p'rovided with a fire proof
vault. The entire structure being of
monolithic reinforced" concrete, includ
ing the roof. The building is pre cooled
in the summer, heated with hot air in
the winter, each room is equipped with
vaccum cleaner system.
The roundhouse and shops proper
are of reinforced concrete and fire
proof roof, the walls being of what is
known as the unit construction that
Is, each pillar or post and slab that
goes to makj up the walls and sills
have been molded on the ground in
separate blocks and swung into place
by locomotive crane. In other words,
the building is built like a child's block
house, only in place of blocks they use
concrete slabs. The shops and round
house is divided into two large spaces
divided by a fire proof, wall, so that in
case of fire in one part of the building
the balance of the parts of the building
will immediately be Isolated automat
ically by fire proof doors. Complete
fire department, high pressure pump,
hose, etc. Each large machine or group
of small machines, is driven by an in
dividual electric motor in order that
there may lie no waste of power. That
Is to say, if one of the employes wish
to use the emery wheel, it is not neces
sary to run the entire plant with all
of the overhead shafting, as in most of
the older plants, but would simply turn
on the motor to take care of that par
ticular group of small machines. The
heavy lifting about the shop is all done
by compressed air hoists, the hoists
having been manufactured in the
Phoenix shops. The machinery is of
the most modern type and there is a
lack of noise and dirt that is found
about most large plants. "Safety First"
is the ruling order. All of the gears oi
parts of machinery that might catch
an employes clothing, and thus injure
him, are covered with guards. No men
are allowed to work about the machin
ery with loose coats or overall sleeves;
all men, where there are liable to be
any flying parts, are required to wear
goggles; In fact every precaution is
taken to prevent accidents. Nothing
goes to waste about the shops; ' every
piece of scrap iron of any kind that
comes from any of the repaired engines
or cars. Instead of being thrown into
the scrap heap is taken to a small shop
known as the reclaim shop where every
nut or washer, or any part that could
be reused, is removed, cleaned up, and
put back in stock. Broken, bent or
battered bolts are rethreaded, reheaded,
or straightened out. anil used over and
over again; in fact it did not seem "that

the blacksmith shop we were shown
the large machines that cut, punch and

plate Vj" thick was cut into ribbons
like a pair of shears trimming your
nails; where a broken engine frame,
say four or five inches in thickness, is
welded by what i.s known as the "Ther

from under the engine.
