new RULES ON
The new HAVEN
ENGINEERS MUST NOW HAVE
YEARS EXPERIENCE.
stre,er Regulations IN Interest Of
Safety.

New Haven--Despite claims by
railroad trainmen employed on the
New Haven to the effect that the or
ders 10 make time" had demoralized
the force and were chiefly rsponstDle
for the CHASTITY chain OF wrecks on
the system in the last few years, the
company, defylng their opposition
has introduced, lin the interest OF
safety" new rules for promotion and
discipline, effective at once.
One Of the principal rules changed re-
lates to the experience engineers must
have before taking out fast express
trains. Engineer Doherty, under the
arrangement existing at the time OF
the Stamford wreck, was entitled TO
take out his engine, though he had
had practically no experience on fast
trains. The new rule provides that
engineers must have at least one
years experience before the being
placed on passenger locomotives and
two years experience before they are
allowed on the fast trains.
A committee of the Brotherhood or
Locomotive Engineers, headed by
Chairman +. S. Evans, has had iive
conferences with General Manager g..
l.. Bardo in the past fortnight, dur
Ing which opposition was expressed to
any change OF rules, as had been out
lined by the operating officials or the
company. In posting the rules, the
company says this Is done "in accord
ance with it's previously announced
policy to adopt and enforce every
reasonable rule and practice which
experience has shown would help TO
protect life and preserve property"
There is no intention on the part
of the management TO impose hard
ships or onerous conditions upon its
employees in the new rules" says the
company i'm statement.
'They are solely intended TO pro-
mote safety in operation. rhe rules
do not In any way interfere with or
change the hours of service, the rates
of pay or working conditions. AS
adopted, they are practically the
same as on many Eastern roads"
Continuing, the statement says,
that when the purpose OF the new
rules are understood by the men In
volved. the management is satisfied
that they will be accepted as an non.
est effort on the part of the manage.
ment to bring about improved condi-
tions. and that no controversy can
exist between the men and the com.
pany where the question OF safety
only is involved"

Such was the conclusion of Gov.
ernor Foss's address on the railroad
situation, In which he pointed out
the hurtful domination of the New
England roads by the trunk lines and
the great banking houses on the one
hand, and their subjection TO the de
mands of the railroad employees or
ganizations, notably that Of the loco
motive engineers, on the other.
There was not a hint Of politics in
the whole speech, save for an asser-
ton OF the speakers independence

What are we men of New England
going 10 do about it?" he asked,
after telling OF the "dep0rable situa.
tlon." Are we to go on voting for
old political parties, both OF which
offer only wornout creeds and pol
icies which have nothing in them for
the advantage OF New England?"
The governor began by pointing
out how New England, though pos
sessing the natural geographical ad.
vantages of shorter distances to
Europe and to the Canadian cities,
loses them because Of the foreign
control of its railroads.
1--WE are powerless TO go forward -
he said, "if denied equitable trade
and traffic relations with our neigh
Dor to the north. We cannot go for
ward unless we have independent
water routes to the east and south.
We cannot go forward if we are To
be dominated absolutely in our rail
road lines by the trunk line railroads

managements must cease.
President Elliott urged that much
could be done toward the help OF
railroad management by the creation
of a sound public opinion. That, he
said, would make for safe and sane
railroad operation. The railroad
man, he said, was in a certain sense
quasi-public official and that rail.
road officials in the discharge of
their duties always have this fact
in mind
Mr. Elliott declared that 1t had
been "a difficult matter for the officers
of the railroads to get in personal
touch with the people, much as they
would like to do so, and that CO.
operation on the part OF the public
and the officers of the road could
accomplish this, he believed. He
spoke for a development OF the
