The publication by the Pennsylvania
Railroad of a bulletin announcing cases
of discipline, one case being suspension

the danger position, gives special interest
to a norton of this article Mr.. Pagan
ssys that most Of the railroads are using
some molifi ca ion of a merit system III
vented by G. r. Brown, st one time q
vice president Of the Pennsylvania Ra'i-
read. Under this system men are pun
ished by receiving dement, marks, and
occasionally some particularly good COZ
duct on their part will cancel some Of
these. Bot the marks are known only
10 the men themselves, and they DO not
cost the men nythiDg unless the de-
merits should accumulate to point al
which discharge would result. Mr. Fa-
gan regsrds publicity and lines as H.
fiuitely more likely to make the men
