Oldboiler tubes when flattened can be used for making car doorplates, washers, split keys, pipe hanger clamps, angle irons,etc. Coil springs of various sizes, after having been straight-ened, are used for making lining bars, drift pins, etc., andcan also be rolled into smaller sizes and used for making newsprings. Thirty-ton car axles are made from scrap 40-tonaxles, and 40-ton are made from 50-ton axles, this being.

The men will work together withmuch more team work and they will turn out a larger amountof work. First-class mechanics should be chosen for piece work in-spectors. They should be thoroughly competent to make aprice that will be just and also be able to show the men howthe work can be done under the price set so that they will beable to make a profit. Where piece work is used the fore-men must study their men and see that they are placed on theclass of work to which they are best adapted. This will notonly benefit the company, but the men as well. Conditionswill varv in different shops, and it is hard to give much de- done by upsetting the collars and drawing the axles to theproper length. Scrap tire steel can also be used for making standard trackclaw bars, pick points, tamping bar ends
