Are Now Liable to Lose Jobs if Hands
 Are White at Terminal.

Houston, Tex, June 2s.-Any train or engine man on the Hartman sys- tenn who comes into terminal with a clean face and hands is liable to dis charge. This novel order recently has been promulgated on the lines of the Southern Pacific, a Hartman property, and is general from coast to coast ss The order is a step toward the pre- vention of wrecks A study of the wrecks by officials of the system de- veloped the fact that a majority oc- cured in the yards or near the terrni- nats of the divisions This situation led to the belief that as the train approached the terminal all hands re- faxed vigilance. It was found in these cases that the crews took time to wash the grime from the hands and faces, so they could enter the ter minal, turn over their train and leave the yards at once.
 By the terms of the order ablutions are permitted only after the train is in. Should the employe come into the terminal with shiny countenance and pink, rosy hands this fact hereafter is to be taken that he neglected his duties and he becomes liable to dis charge.
