SOME SOUND ADVICE

Asa G. Briggs, general attorney of
the Chicago & Great Western rail-
read, made an address to the Associa-
ton of Transportation and Car Ac-
counting Officers at a recent conven-
ton in St. Paul Some of Mr.. Briggs
advice is SO sound that we wish every
railroad employe in the entire country
every ticket seller every passenger
agent, every conductor and brakeman,
every section foreman and official, in
deed. from section hand to president,
could read it. Mr. Briggs said, in
part
The character of the man VINO
represent railroad determines the
character of that railroad. With them
lies the duty of determining whether
or not that road shall be open to just
criticism They are its trustees-both
moral and business trustees-and this
is true not only of the president and
general manager, but it IS true OF
every man connected with the road,
If man buys ticket, for him the
ticket agent of the moment is the rail
road To every man who is carried by
his station the brakeman or the porter
is emphatically the railroad. To every
shipper who appeals to you for relief.
whether or not you can give it. you
are the railroad; and depending on
your action, he will think well or i'll
OF your railroad.
AS men are judged by the company
they keep so railroads are judged by
the character of their employees. A
depot ticket agent whose manner is
surly, who gives information with the
air of comforting great favor, or who
refuses to give any information what
ever, can make his railroad so I'M
popular that people will ride over it
or ship goods over it only as last
resort. Railroad employees should re-
member that they do not own the pub
dc and that they cannot treat the
public as if they did own it. There is
no more reason why a railroad EN-
ploye should not be affabie and cour
teous than why a clerk in a dry goods
store should not be always pleasant
No clerk in a dry goods store could
long retain his position if he contin
uallv wore a suIIen .emeanOr, if he
acted as if he did not care whether he
sold any goods or not. Some railroad
men whose lines occupy territory tC
the exclusion of all other lines fee
that they can afford to be discount
eous, proceeding on the theory tina
the public must patroniZe them
whether they are liked or not.
should not be necessary for us to poin
out the fact that this is a decidedly
erroneous theory A railroad tina
holds a monopoly can increase it:
business if its employees are courteous
They are the railroad to the people
who deal with them, and they SHOULD
always bear the fact in mind.
