REWARDS FOR
VALUABLE IDEAS
PsnnSy Shows Appreciation Of
Men Who Can Do
Things

Must interest was excited in rail-
road circles a short time ago when
the Pennsylvania announced that IL
would pay its men for valuable ideas.
The first results of the experiment
have just been made public.
ideas are worth money. Send in
good suggestions and we will pay you
for them" D." This was the substance
OF general order No. 12. which went
out to Pennsylvania railroad en-
ployes on the Buffalo and Allegheny
Valley division.
The response was immediate. As
was expected, the men in charge of
minute detail saw mays Of increasing
efficiency which escaped the general
directors of the work. Suggestions
came in from all quarters. Many OF
them proved 10 be OF real value and
their authors were rewarded in cash
A clerk in one of the round houses
won a premium by submitting a plan
for increasing economy by the fur
ther use of carbon sheets which re-
main I'm repair card books. after the
cards have been filled in and re-
moved. He devised a way Of using
this carbon paper in connection with
one Of the companys forms for or
dering material from the store
houses.
Another OF the schemes considered
worthy OF remuneration came from a
tinsmith in one Of the shops. He dis
covered an improved method for
fastening in engine cabs the boxes
which contain flags. torpedoes and
medical case.
BY standardizing the heights OF
coal gates on locomotive tenders. a
fireman saw a way to minimize the
loss Of coal through vibration. lie
was paid for the idea.
Al one Of the terminals. an appli-
ance for cleaning and sterilizing
drinking cups used in coaches was
perfected by a car inspector whose
duties are in connection with the
care and equipment Of passenger
cars. II was an undoubted improve
ment over the old method and its
originator received payment for Il.
Although a great many worthless
suggestions come in. officials say that
the saving effected by those which
are adopted makes Il very much
worth while TO investigate them all.
Aside from these direct benefits, there
Is much indirect gain in the added
interest employees take in their work,
and in the watchfulness and origin
ality which is developed.
