stances the shop superintendent have taken ad-
vantage of the experiences with women workers in
Great Britain and the Canadian Pacific and Grand
Trunk railroads in Canada. In a few cases, however,
rences of others and mistakes have been made which
it will be hard to overcome In two cases in par
ticular which have TO notice. little or no
attention was given to investigating the previous
history of the who applied for work As a
result conditions soon developed which threatened
to destroy discipline and in one case actually re-
suited in a scandal and undesirable publicity
