 Wonderful man is the Parson. Know- ing nothing of scientific management. he has been one of the greatest of agents for efficiency He has made each and every man on his division proud of the Yellow Dog. The men no longer care if you call the road the Yellow Dog. They laugh at the term. They hold their heads high and they stand erect. No longer do they go about their duties lackadaisically. There is an inc centiye, spur to the best of effort now. Every other division on the great rail- road has taken up the system inaug- urated by the Parson. Men on the western division now are earning the right to have engines named after thom or to join the order of the Red Spct, or to have section houses dec- orated in their honor, or to wear thc gold stripe on their sleeves. Para- graphers no longer write humoroua stories about the slow trains on the Yellow Dog. Few railroads run so close to schedule today.
 The company's magazine no longerl prints jokes about the road. Instead it rrfnts the record each month of what has been accomplished on this division and on that. From one end of the sys- tenn to the other a healthy, good nat- ured rivalry exists in every depart- ment to make the best possible show ing.
 The public, too, has been quick to nots the change Passengers who never had good word to say for the railroad now praise it. They delight in travelling on train drawn by a locomotive named in honor of a worthy engineer. They tell the man who has won renown. They tell strangers the story here set down The passenger business of the Yellow Dog is better today than ever before in it's his- tory.
 Each month the Parson goes over his records. What an economy he has wrought is not measured by the saving in fuel, in machine of and kindred things. Perhaps he realizes the extent of his work. Perhaps he knows what an ef- feet the efficiency Of the Yellow Dog has had in increasing freight service as well as passenger. Perhaps he knows that while two of the Yellow Dogs rivals, which formerly only gave their leavings to the Yellow Dog.-show net decrease in revenue for the last nine months of s2, 159,ooo and s2600,00O the Yellow Dog shows for the same period a net in- crease of $361. .000. Perhaps he knows that for the first time in more than a quarter of a century the prophets of disaster have nothing to say about the Yellow Dog, fol. it is within the realm of req sonable probability that terribly burdened as 1t Is today with it's colossal debt the Yellow Dog within three years will be paying dividends and that millions upon millions of dollars of securities that not long ago were of comparatively little ! value will be worth~not far from par, and all because one plain railroad man knew how to increase the efficiency of those about him.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-18

The Parson, like all good railroad men, had deep affection for the road by which he was employed He was not blind to it's condition or to it's handicaps. What distressed him was that it was not oc- cupying it's proper station. Knowing nothing of scientific management, he la bored under the idea that efficiency was personal, and that the proper way to pro- mote efficiency was to arouse men to their best endeavor. So soon as the Par son became division superintendent he began to impart little of his abundant enthusiasm to those about him. One of the first things he told his men was that the name of Yellow Dog was an out rage, a libel, stigma that had been put upon the road and that was a great injustice to the men who worked for it. To prove that the title was undeserved should be the aim of every employe. He pointed out that the locomotives were good that the passenger and freight cars were up to the standard and that the roadbed was being improved constantly. No road had better fuel, few roads had a better class of men, he declared. Why, then, should trains be eternally late? He asked them to help solve the riddle Per
 
 tive. If that was the reason they needed only to be stirred by pride. He talked with engineers, with the master mechan- ic, with conductors and with the train dispatcher. He talked. too, with station agents, with switchmen, with the road master. with brakemen and even with the section foremen and the section hands. Each and every one was made to realize he was a cog in the great xKyhna dad the smooth and successful working of the big machine.
 Once he had aroused them, he made an appeal to the ambition of each and all. First he made a proposition to the engineers. They could do a great deal to make the division the admir- alton of the whole system. There was a lot of waste in material and in time. To wipe 1t out he would establish an order of merit. He would have rec ords kept of the performance of each and every locomotive. The en gineer who made the best record for a month in consumption of coal. amount of repairs and ton per mile of service would be recognized by having the shield at the front of the boiler decorated with a red circle. Each engineer earning a red circle would be eligible to member ship In the Red Spot club. The engineer who won the circle three times would nave the honor or having hlS name painted on the cab of his locomotive in letters of gold. Thereafter the locomo- tive would lose it's number and would take the name of the engineer. There after that locomotive would be the pos session of the engineer so long as he remained in the service of the company. No other man could pull the throttle. No other man could guide it along the rails
 Engineers who were bit careless, engineers who were inclined to be Wasteful suddenly became deeply so- fictitious as to the performances of their locomotives. Delays began to be looked
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-18

upon as serious matters, coal began to assume a different value. To be late meant demerit. To squander fuel might mean loss of recognition. Men who had given little thought to the coal question because coal was so plen- tiful and seemed so cheap now watched the firemen with careful eye. The fire men, too, eager for the success of the engineer under whom they work ed, eager, too, for the locomotive they loved, paid attention to the fire build ing, fire trimming and steam making such as they never displayed before. It was the same. too, in regard to lubricat- ing oil. The engine men knew account YVES being kept of every gallon and that the record would show to their credit or otherwise at the months end.
 Conductors and brakemen, anxious to aid the engine men, did their part in keeping to the schedule. Agents suddenly displayed a deep interest in the contest. Passengers, too showed concern. Many of the regulars knew many of the trains by sight if not by name and were eager to know if their favorite engineer was the one to win.
 Tn that little world of the Parsons that contest of the first month marked an epoch, for then and there the redemption of the Yellow Dog began. Not in many years did the trains make such good time. The engineer who won the first red circle was greeted at every station by admiring railroaders. Passengers, too came forward to congratulate him. The engineer, proud of the victory he had won, determined to strive now for the honor of having the locomotive named for him, and other engineers, seeing how highly the successful man had been re, garded and knowing by how little they had failed to win, determined to outdo him the following months. Two men won the honor that first month, one in the passenger department, one in the freight. Each month since then the contest has been just as keen.
 The Parson, looking over the fuel ac- count of that first month, had reason for rejoicing. He had expected a saving, but nothing approaching what the figures showed. Like a wise man he said little, but thought a great deal.
 Economy and regularity in train hand ling are all very well in themselves, but they are not possible unless the road bed Is kept in the best of condition The Parson, as good railroad man, knew this. so he turned his attention next to those humble and seldom con- sidered men, the section hands. Who ever pays attention to the common work men who tamp ties, tighten bolts and examine rails and f1shplates? The Par son spread the news from section gang to section gang that each month there would be an inspection of the whole d. vision. The crew making the best show ing would have it's section house special ly painted and decorated
 Al ings and the fishplates gone over bet ter than when the Parson made his an- nouncement. If the engineers were stirred to their best endeavor, so were the hum

lbeen sustained Few railroads lost so much in this way as the Yellow Dog, for the road became almost a joke in the transportation world Paragraphers held l 1t up to the laughter loving, and even the officers of the road themselves took humorous interest in the low estate into which the property was drifting. for in the monthly magazine the railroad pub lished jokes and stories were printed about the slowness of the trains and the failure to make time. Never nerhaps in the United States did another big rail road lampoon itself as did the Yellow Dog.
 If it would not have interfered with or upset the plans of some of the great finanoiers the Yellow Dog might have been cast upon the bankruptcy court then and there for the situation was all most hopeless, but E. H. Hartman was led to interest himself in the property. and some of the ardent spirits believed he might save it from ruin. He did a lot. He was intolerant of sacrificing the phy- sical condition of the road. He inaugu- rated the plan of utilizing every possible dollar toward improvement of the physi- cal property and incidentally he lent the company some money on terms quite fa- yorable to himself With this money much needed improvements which cost millions of dollars were ordered, the equipment was raised to a higher stand ard and now and then train was able to keep to schedule.
 What Hartman might have accom- p1ished had he lived is matter of opin- ion Such financing as he did was most [. -7.. porarily to the heavy load the road was forced to carry. but he laid the basis for something solid. When Hartman died the prophets began to say again that the Yellow Dog was doomed.
 Maybe it would have been had 1t not been for the Parson. That is the name by which the superintendent of one of the divisions Is known. Probably the Parson is not personally acquainted with any of the gentlemen who write so leagthily and so tiresomely about scien- tific management. There are some per sons who get weary of this tilted stuff about science in management: just as if there had not been science in man. | agement for years, just as if 1t is not second nature for a man to economize l In the expenditure of energy or make as easy as possible any work he may have to perform. The Parson having fired" a locomotive long ago and been q brakeman once upon a time, knew more of the practical than the theoret- ical side of railroading, and had one l beautiful quality that is not appre- eiated at it's full worth in some fields That is imagination. Persons who have ina gina tion are capable of great things for they have enthusiasm. To the Par son his own particular division might be the world, but it was a great world. He might hear or know what was go- ing on in other worlds and it might distress him to learn things were done better in other worlds, but only for a time, The knowledge would stimulate him to do better in his own sphere.
