"E. +. Ripley, president of the Santa

lone of the most serious conditions

the indifference and the disregard
which the employ has for the interest
of the employer.
The Santa Fe," continued Mr..
Ripley, hopes to establish "A better
esprit de corps among the employees and
expects that a liberal pension system
will have this tendency. We have on
this system as much loyalty as most
railroads enjoy, If not more, but Il is
not what Il should be. The lack Of
loyalty among employees is a condition
from which all corporations are now
suffering, and 1t presents a most seri-

The Santa Fe Railroad company has
probably done more than any other
railroad corporation in the United
States to better the condition 81 It's
employees. That this liberal policy has
accomplished most important and far
reaching results Is set forth convinc-
ingly by H.. w. Jacobs, assistant super
intendent Of motive power of the com
PAM in an article In the june num-
Der Of the Engineering Magazine.
The Santa FEES policy towards It's em-
ployes has attracted unusua attention
from railway and Industrial managers
throughout the world. The breadth of
this work Is perhaps not realized as
much as II should be by h people
living along the Santa Fe. 1t has be-
come 50 familiar, such an everyday
feature of life that II Is accepted along
with the other blessings of the
age with little thought of what 1t
means both to employer and en-
ployed.
The editors of 'The Engineering
Magazine preface Mr.. Jacobs article
with the following note:
1t Is eight years since IT, +. L. Or
cult. writing IN these pages Of a con-
trast i'm industrial policies at that time
newly apparent, used the significant
words: at Is economy as well as hui
mainly to plan factories In which hui
man life is of more account than ma
chinery: into which human beings VIII
not be driven by hunger, but attracted
by superior hygienic surroundings
air, light, comfort-as well as by the
most modern equipment FOR saving
labor. increasing output, and raising
The standard OF workmanship ana
wages"
No one movement IN the field of
Power and Production" during the
Intervening period is more striking than
the progress of this concept in the be-
lief and the practice of the foremost
EMPLOYERS. We are glad that much of
the current history of the advance has
been written in The Engineering Mag
azine. We are especially glad now TO
show so brilliant an example of its eN-
tension into a branch of engineering
activity which sometimes has not been
closely associated with the Idea OF
care for the individual life. Mr.. ia
obs present article Is a welcome
demonstration that there are railway
managers by whom the square deal
TO the employee Is considered equal in
Importance to the Increase of "eth-
cheney in the railway machine shop.
The article follows:
"In the September issue of The En-
%gineering Magazine. DR.. Lou Rel

"A station called tbs Needles on
the banks Of the bower Colorado river,

The company has built at his point

each employe, from laborer to higher
officials, pays a small monthly sum
(trum - cents to SD to the hospital
association, the aggregate amounting
to about $4,000 q month. Some of the
trustees OF the association are officials
of The company. while Others are en-
ploYes. These trustees devote any sur

manent improvements. new buildings,
and additional facilities. Although IN
this respect self-supporting, this assoc
citation has received much substantial
aid from the railroad In the way OF

The most notable hospital Is al

his staff of five surgeons, about thirty
nurses, and many other employees. Al

patients are in the various wards al

serious operations are, of course. per-
formed. There are many private

other hospitals render service similar
to that at Topeka, there being apou'

Besides these hospitals, which aim
to take care of all the cases in theii
