OPERATORS MUST
SUBMIT TO TESTS
Railway Telegraphers Ordered
to Be Examined as to Fit
ness for Dispatching

OAKLAND, Jan. 23.-All telegraph
operators in the employ of the South
ern Pacific company have been ordered
to take examinations touching their
qualification to become train dispatch
ers This is a new departure, which
has awakened no little interest among
railroadmen, as it is said to be one OF
the most important moves that has
been made in recent years in the oper-
ating departments.
Examinations have commenced in the
bay cities, and will be continued
throughout the system until all of the
lines have been covered. 1t is under-
stood that the order came from the
head of the Hartman system, and IN
cludes all of the railroads operated un-
der that designation.
The purpose, according TO railroad
men, is to raise the standard or Ell
ficiency of employees in that important
branch OF the service. and to fit opera :
tors for the more important position OF
dispatchers as need calls for them. I'm
der the old system the operator merely
sent and received the orders which
were given by the dispatcher.
The examinations. will test the
knowledge of the operator as to the
technical requirements of the d1s-
patcher. and. as a matter of course, VIII
enable the officials to decide whether
the individual operator has an under
