SANTA FE TO SCHOOL CREWS.
Prospective Employees viii Be Eedu-
Gated in Handling Appliances.

The management of the Santa Fe
is preparing to establish a strict civil
service system in connection with ad-
vancement of all trainmen and en-
gine crews. The civil service prin-
ciple has benn recognized by the com
pany for some time, but like all 9th
ers it has reserved to go outside of
the service in the employment of the
men who operate the trains.
Although this right will never be
changed, its rules regarding employ
ment of men and their advancement.
making it rare necessity to go out
side for engineers, conductors. brake
men and firemen. With this end in
veiw the operating department con
siders issuing a book of instruction
similar to the one which has just been
issued by the Northern Pacific road.
The latter publication is the result
of five years work and careful study
by the operating officials of the road.
and it is understood that Vice Pres
ident Kendrick formerly of the
Northern Pacific, was one of the lead
ers of the movement on the northern
line which resulted in the publication
of the book.
1t is intended to place the book in
the hands of every employe who as
sists in the operation of a train on
the Northern Pacific. and a careful
study of itas a text book vii make the
employees familiar with the machinery
used in starting and stopping trains.

given by travelling expert in the
operation of air brakes. The in

be given instructions and lessons In
squads consisting ofas many men as
can see the work at one time. In
answer to the question why so much
time and money are to be spent In
this manner, the officials of the road
reply that prompt and intelligent use
of air brakes often marks the line
between bad wreck and safety and
perfect operation of trains can be oh
