Regarding the new system in reward
ing men who do good work on the Bal
timore q Ohio, of which the Cleveland
and Terminal Valley is part, the
Pittsburg Post in its railroad column
says: Three years ago, when the So
called Brown system of discipline was
introduced, the Post called attention to
the fact that while it placed demerit
marks against men who erred, 1t show
ed nothing to indicate recognition of
good deeds. The explanation made in
this paper and the criticisms were cop
led ell over the United States and fa-
vorably commented on. It appeared
strange that system should have been
adopted which failed to take into con-
sideration all the cardinal principles
or human nature, and ignored the fact
that men are not machines and have
souls. The Baltimore & Ohio managers
have evinced from the start a broad
minded disposition, and they have re-
allied that the promise of reward and
recognition for a brave act means a
great deal in stimulating men to be on
the alert. 1t is all we'll enough for the
office man to bulletin errors and failings
on white paper and leave the record
where all may read as they can, but
this is of no benefit to the brave man
who Is always careful, always prompt
to act and eternally on the alert to pre-
NCHl dCClueHIS.
General superintendent Gibson, when
he presented the elegant gold watch to
Engineer Haggerty, had this in mind
and Engineer Haggerty and hundreds
OF other Baltimore & Ohio men had
known for some months that the eyes
OF the officials were upon them, and
that they would be rewarded for good
deeds, but at the same time the brake
men who saved the train on the Gran
berry grade and the engineer who
saved the lives of passengers at Cum
berland were not thinking of reward.
They would have acted in the same
manner even If there had been no in
centive except the sacred command of
duty, but the fact that they were re-
warded has stimulated every man on
the road to emulate their example and
the Baltimore e. Ohio has assumed a
course which will be certain to make
travel on all its lines safer.
