Argus Eyes Always On the Daily
Work OF RaiIroaders.

The little things in the daily ser
vice of employees of the operating de-
partments OF railroads are taken as
carefully into account by those re-
sponsible for the management of roads
ss the larger ones as Record Bulletin
No. 123 of the p. shows:
Two engineers are allowed five
days credits each for picking up.and
bringing lost engine equipment tc ter
miual.
Engine crews on a double header
fast freight found bridge OF fire
stopped, and by hard work succeeded
in distinguishing it. Ten days credits
for each member Of engine crews.
An engine and train Grew
layed in terminal yard on
account of switch engine being other
wise engaged, volunteered under direc-
ton of the yardmaster to make up
their own train. Ten days credits
each.
A conductor, engineer and fireman
on west bound freight train found on
siding foreign box car on fire. They
stopped and extinguished the fire. Ten
days credits each.
A conductor while looking over his
train st way station dis
covered a crack in the

with light stroke broke off elk inches

of the road where curves are numer-
Gus, a very serious casualty might have
resulted but for the discovery at the
time. Thirty days credit.

are all from the credit side of the re-

show to what extent care and faithful
attention to duty is required of them
The other side of the ledger ia by no
means overloaded, but it Is to the credit
of the operating force to say that the
debit eide has fewer entries. Here is
sample of discredit:
Two engineers have each been
charged with 10 days bulletin suspen-
sion, account Of not being found when
wanted for duty,
1t may be further explained that the
days credited or charged do not repres
ent cash transactions; the word day"
Is used to represent unit of compu ia
lion. Ii an employe earns ten days credit
and no charge, he has therefore q
clean record. II he earns 10 days
credit and is charged 10 days his re-
cord account is even. This system
supersedes the old one of suspension or
fines and is found to be more effective.
