ernments have made it obligatory up
ON the operating officials that they not
only prepare and put in their employees
hands proper rules for safety but that
they see and know that the rules are
understood and lived up to.
1T is no excuse for the president or
general manager to say We have
wise and safe rules unless it has been
seen that these rules are enforced.
This is a criticism which has been
made by the Interstate Commerce
Commission more than once. So the
feeling has grown up among operating
officials that there is a great RESPONSE
bility on their shoulders in case or
serious accident, in that they may
have failed to do their part toward
safeguarding the lives of people en-
trusted to their care"
MIR. Trenholm then described the
long and serious consideration which
he had given to this problem and the
efforts lie has made towards it's solu-
ton.
"All of US railway men, who have
come up from the ranks in many cases,
said he, realized that the time had
come when some change must be made
from the negligent to the positive. The
mere fact there is a rule for tagging
is not enough. Someone must know
that the man is observing it. So | put
in a 100 per cent efficiency test by
which tests are made under the rules
on whether or not the men are obeying
them, and we put men on the road to
observe.
after some time it developed that
unfair reports We're being made, and
after long thought I conceived the
idea of inviting the labor organizations
to elect 81 committee of five men; one
from each, while | selected five Off
Gals. These men meet once month
in my office They have all the au-
thority | have to examine records and
it is their vote which decides a COM
plant of the men. In case of a tie
cast the deciding vote, but we have
met every month for several years
since the board was formed and | have
never been called on to vote. Every
decision has been unanimous.
when 100 tests have been taken OF
any engineer with no failures the man
is given 100 per cent efficiency GER
tificate, which shows that he has been
tried and found there"
Testimony then turned to the mems
demand for assistance to firemen and
| for two firemen on some engines, and
| the witness enumerated the many pro-
visions which have been made to light
en- the work of the fireman.

and described how the solution has
been reached on his road.
"The committee is of the opinion"
said Mr.. Trenholm, that properly con-
Quoted efficiency tests are necessary
Ito safe operation. The tests should
always have due regard to the safety
of employees and while it may be true
that in SO large territory there might
be few individual cases where the
zeal of some local officials may have
gone somewhat beyond this, we are
very strongly of the opinion that mat
tiers of this nature are not a proper
subject for wage schedule, and that
the maintenance of discipline, proper
obedience to rules and regulations and
the manner of their enforcement
should be left to the operating officials
of the railroads.
in recent years the efficiency of
employees has become very necessary.

Correspondence II the Associated Press
Mexico City, May 1.-THE purchasing
price Of Mexican paper money has been
decreasing steadily until today the Mexi-
can peso is worth but III cents gold in
this city,. instead of 30 cents in normal
times. The price of commodities has risen
accordingly and the populace has be
come greatly excited.
A few days ago the exchange value OF
the peso was the occasion of a heated de
bate among the delegates attending one
Of The national conventions now IN SEES
sion. An orator had been holding forth
for and hour or more in IN inccndiary
speech wherein he charged Wall Street
and the f~inanciers of London. Berlin and
Paris for being responsible for the 'thir-
ty-centr variety of money now prevailing
here. He was interrupted b. the presi-
dent Of the session. who said:
"Mr. Delegate. | desire To call your at
%tention 10 the fact that the relative value
of Mexican paper currency and the gold
coin of foreign states is due in a large
measure toDhe law of supply and de
mand."
Then" Numbered the orator. II de-
mand that this law he repealed forthwith"
