With fear and trembling the old

BONUS SYSTEM IN

paly and More Pay for
Employees.
OTHER RAILROAD RUMBLINGS

Arthur Lowell, superintendent of
motive power for the Santa Fe sys-
TEN, spent Sunday in the city, and
left yesterday for points east, on his
way to his home in Chicago. Mr..
Lowell went as far west as Winslow,
where he inspected the new 1900
class of balanced compounds engines
of the Pacific type, which have re-
Gently been put in service on the
west end. He rode a trip over the
road on one CT the engines and ex-
pressed himself as being delighted
with the new engines. He spent Sat
urday looking over the shops in this
city and was pleased with what he
saw here. The new bonus system,
recently put in vogue at San Bernar-
dino and other western points, is now
in use in the local shops, and is a de-
clded success. The system means
better and quicker work for the COM
pany and an increase in the salaries
of the employees. The employe gets
his regular salary, and in addition to
this, a certain per cent of increase If
a job is turned u within a certain
time. s. l.. Bean, the coast lines SUI
perintendent, accompanied him on the
trip as far as this city.
