BROWN DISCIPLINE SYSTEM.
It Has Improved the Service and Reduce,
Accidents on the Rock Island.

It Has Improved the Service and Reduced
Accidents on the Rock Island.
Regarding the working of the Brown
system Of discipline on the Rock Island
road, Assistant General Manager Allen,
says:
ave have 1000 employees under that
system of discipline. It has been in
effect now II months, and 1 DO not be-
lieve that one worthy employe would
to-day willingly go back to the old me-
thod Of suspension. We have been able
to redu3e the number Of extra men
fully 10 per cent for the reason that
regular employees, instead of being laid
of or suspended as a punishment, are
now being permitted to continue their
work, losing no time or pay which is in
interest not only to the man, but his
family. The percentage Of accidents
has decreased fully 80 per cent since
the Brown system became fully effect
i've, and which, We contend, is largely
due to this spstem of discipline.
"UndeF our system We give each en-
plOye % credit or merit marks at the
end Of every Il consecutive months
perfect service, and from reports which
I have at this time it is safe to say that
fully 10 per cent of the 1900 employees
mentioned will have gained OF gotten
these 20 marks on October 1, the end
Of our first year. It is not schOOlboy
play with our men, as We find that to a
man they dread demerit marks, more
than suspension under the old rules,
and it is found that, almost to a man,
every employee under this rule is doing
his utmost to gain or reap the benefit
Of the 20 merit marks referred TO-"

COLONEL VASSOS.

With every new report from Europe it
becomes more evident that King George
of Greece chose we'll when he sent Colonel
Vassos to take command of the Greek
army OF occupation III Crete. Tried and
tested by thousand difficulties, Vassos
has shown himself superior to all of them
He has maintained his position and not
only avoided giving any reasonable ex-
cuse to the powers for interfering, but has
actually managed to put them in the
wrong and to achieve diplomatic victories
even more important thar his military
successes over the Turkish garrisons
In statement recently made to a CORE
spondent OF the London TeIeqraph Colonel
Vassos was able to point out that he has
quieted the entire Christian population in
the interior of the island, while the ad-
mirals OF the powers have not succeeded
in keeping the peace in the ports they
have biockaded. Throughout Crete the
Greek army has repressed every form of
crime, made life and property a. secure as
1t IS in France or England, has estab-
Iished hospitals for the sick and wounded
not only among the Greeks but among the
Moslems, and has won the sympathy,
confidence and support of all classes of
people. Not the slightest outbreak has
occurred in the island to give the powers
occasion for landing troops. He has in
effect established Greek rule over the
country, and there is no sign of war any
where except around those ports where
the allied fleets are stationed.
As a further evidence of his fitness for
the position Colonel Vassos has returned
to the Turks certain officers of their army
whom he had captured. By doing this he
rids himself of the trouble of keeping
prisoners and also sets an example of
liberality and generosity which cannot
fail TO win him the favor of the world. In
fact every step that he has taken has
served to strengthen his hold upon public
opinion. aud he enjoys at this time the
confidence not only of his own Govern
ment and of the Cretan people, but of the
intelligence OF Europe. He manages TO
take every step in his difficult course in
such way as to convince the world that
he is right and that his opponents are
wrong. He is eminently the right man
for the place, and ii Greece succeeds in
winning her fight and annexing Crete to
her dominions King George can hardly do
better than to recognize and repay the
services of Vassos by making him Gov.
ernor OF the island.
