EX-BRAKEMAN
RULES RAILWAY
Real Romance of the Rail in
the Life Story of Erie Rail-
roads President.
Frederick Douglass Under
wood Was Boss Brakeman
When Road was on Way to
Ruin Junction.

Frederick Douglass Underwood
was the boss brakeman who ground
the wheels hard when the Erie Rail
road, of which he is the president,
was going down grade to Ruin juno
ton.
He did the job so we'll because he
started his career on the rail as
brakeman. Like many of the heads
of the great transportation corpora
tions of today, he worked himself up
from the denine to pongee.
One day in Washington not long
ago when the traffic heads had
gathered to see what the White
House was going to do about the
strike he was riding on top of
sightseeing omnibus with half
dozen of his fellow members of the
Order of the Iron Horse.
I1eIlOy TIeu! CdIlle d FOlCS 1LOIi
the sidewalk.
"Howdy, Johnw was the reply of
the railroad executive, with a wave
of his hand.
The man who had spoken to him
was one of the engine drivers of the
Erie, with whom the boss brakeman
had worked not so many years ago.
He took. it as a matter of course that
one of his old friends, even though
an employee, should call him by his
first name.
Most of the men on the Erie don't
even go to that formality. To them
he is ''F. D." and when they say that
they mean the man who knows and
who can tell them just what he wants
done and how to do it. There is no
job on a railroad, for that matter,
that "F. D." could not do himself for
he has been not only brakeman, but
clerk and grain elevator foreman,
conductor, yardmaster and about
superintendent, general manager and
vice-president.
"F. D." is a symbol of efficiency
to the rank and file of the employees,
and he does not have to be at every
mans elbow to enforce his ideas.
The question that arises in the minds
of men of the Erie and comes so
often to their lips is "Would F. D.
like that? Would he want it done
that way?" Nobody ever thought
of telling him a ghost story of in
venting strange excuses.
One of the conductors, in explain
ing to a layman why an engine had
stalled, said it was largely due to the
freman's having neglected to take a
rake with him and his inability to get
one.
"He would have never told me
that" observed the president of the
Erie. "He passed three yard engin-
es, from any one of which he could
have got a rake if he wanted one.
He knows that, and he knows that I
know it."-Kansas City Star.
