make suggestions for Improvement In
another department, branch or division
Of the service"
To give the men an understanding OF
the plan OF the company officers Of the
road prepared a list of suggestions which
the men might follow in formulating their
IDEAS. although they were not confined to
the suggestions put out by the company.
1t was suggested that they should seek
to effect improvements along the follow
ing lines:
To Increase efficiency OF operation.
To improve methods Of operation.
To be beneficial from economical stand
point.
To increase safety and convenience Of
passengers and patrons OF the company.
To increase patronage.
To promote safety Of employees.
In any way TO promote the interests Of
the company whether pertaining to i'm
proved mechanism. better office practice
or other features.
One thing the company insisted upon.
The men were not to use the opportunity
to file petty and unnecessary complaints.
This was a line in the notice to the en-
ployes:
suggestions must not include personal
complaints or antipathiesr
Quick Response.
The men responded 10 the plan Of the
company even more readily than had
been expected. The officials Of the road
were surprised that men who were hold
Ing subordinate Jobs were 50 keen in
picking out defects and pointing the way
to overcome them. Naturally many OF
the suggestions received were not prac-
ticable. Some Of them had to be DIS
eArded because they were impossible OF
being carried out. although containing
much good advice.
When all the suggestions had been
sfted the company made some awards.
No announcement has been made Of the
amount Of cash premiums paid and the
company has not made public the basis
on which the amount OF each premium
was decided. but an official Of the CON-
pany said that the award depended en-
tirely upon the value OF the suggestion
10 the company.
For instance. one Of the premiums went
to clerk in the -roundhouse who de-
vised scheme for using carbon sheets
In repair card books after the cards had
been removed. While II was not great
discovery it meant economy. and any
saving in the MANAGEMENT Of q bis rail-
road Is worth something. The clerk fig
ured out that after the carbon sheets
had been used in the repair books they
were still good to be used in conneeuon

lleves that II Is making capital by get

the Buffalo & Allegheny division OF the
Pennsylvania system. or rather Il is on
this branch that the Pennsylvania Is
testing the scheme to find out u Il is adj
visable TO introduce It on all It's lines.
Who conceived the plan of paying Its
employees for ideas the officials OF the
Pennsylvania keep a secret, but the Aug-
gesticn was received 30 cordially that II
was decided TO try II out on the Buffalo

5000 men. These men Mere asked to
furnish 70 the company whatever IDEAS
they had for improvement in any depart

TO the men OF the Buffalo branch:
ideas are worth money. Develop
them and we'll pay you for them"
Many sound reasons were advanced for
the company's decision TO pay for ideas
that would better the service OF the road
In any respect. II was pointed out that
II the ideas were worth adopting they
were worth paying for II the men were
interested In winning a premium they
naturally would have TO pay more at

custom Of the Pennsylvania road 10 wei

no system OF compensation had ever been

In order that the men should have wide

II was made plain to them that they did
not have to limit their ideas to the par
ticular department In which they hap
pened to be employed. They were told
TO 60 ahead and pick flaws in any branch
