Civil Service on c. & S.

Vice President A. d. Parker of
the Colorado & Southern has formu-
lated something new in the manage.
ment of railroad men by establishing
civil service. Nearly all western
railroads recruit their officials from
other lines, and 1t used to be said
that the Burlington was school for
making good railroad operatives
that the other companies took from
them. Mr.. Parker's plan is that
every man in the company's service
who shows himself efficient shall be
raised every time there is vacancy
lust above him. The result Of this
will be to create ambition for better
service for the corporation on the
part of all employees, from section
man to the very top.
In the short time that Mr.. Parker
has been in charge there have been
three vacancies and in each he has
advanced the man just below. When
Mr.. Herbert stepped out of the place
of general manager, Superintendent
Young went up. Mr.. Parker gave
up the office of general auditor in
becoming directing head in the
operation of the road and he put
John Bradbury, who had been assist
ant auditor for several years, into
the place.
The latest appointment in this
line has been the naming OF A. e.
Cochran to be general purchasing
agent in place Of F. S. McNamara,
who resigned recently to 60 to an
other line. Mr.. Cochran has been
assistant purchasing agent and chief
clerk for six years past and has
proved a most efficient man.
