Announcement Causes Much
Favorable Comment.

Believing that the interest Of rail-
Eaad employees in their work will be
decreased and their efficiency height
ened if they own stock in the roads
which they serve, the Union Pacir1c
has announced a plan whereby any
empIoye Of the road Is permitted to
purchase Union Pacific stock. and
pay for it in monthly tnstallments-
The plan has been under cOnS1dera-
ton for some time, and has just been
announced thru q circular
Buy OnIy Ten Shares.
The amount of stock TO be bought
by a single empIoye has been limited
70 ten shares The stock IS to oe paid
for in twenty-four monthly install
ments- It is understood that the
company purchases the stock at the
market value on the date on which
the employe makes his purchase, and
the price paid is the price which the
employee has to pay, regardless of later
fluctuations in the value OF the stock
on the open market
There has been much discussion
mostly favorable. among the employees
of the road, especially trainmen- many
of whom have indicated their iuten-
ton TO purchase the stock
santa Fe May Follow suit
The Santa Fe has been for some
time considering starting a similar
scheme E. L Copeland, secretary and
treasurer of the road, said this morn
ing, but it has not yet been decided
by President Storey, Just what form
the plan Will take, nor has the rlnal
decision been rendered on it's adop-
ton
Copeland expressed himself as be-
ing very much IN favor Of the plan.
and has written TO the Union Pacific
officials for details Of their plan, with
a view to considering them in refer
ence to mapping out the SaEta Fe
scheme.
I think many of the employe. par

OPERATING COST DECREASES.


The peak Of the operating expenses
Of Canadian railroads has passed. and
there is more than a posi- biIity that
the not very distant future will see q
lowering of the rates in the Dominion.
according to . special article by z W.
Beatty. president of the Canadian Pa
cific railway In which Mr. Beatty
says:
Now in recent years the railways of
the country, no matter what the com
plexion of their stockholders was, have
been passing thru q series OF trials q
condition which has been common
thruout the whole civilized world, and
has resulted in various drastic and
artificial remedies being applied to
maintain or restore the transportation
efficiency Of these nations We are
not thru with our struggle. We think
We have reached the peak-Ioad of ex-
peuse which has made the operation
so difficult, especially in the last three
years. Within a short time L expect
to see the gradual decline in operating
expenses. and, other conditions permit
ting. the tendency should be towards
lower rates. but in the gradual progress
doWnWardS towards more normal con-
ditionS tie companies will have prob
lens to determine which will both d.
rectIy and Indirectly affect the people
as a whole, and in the solution of these
problems it is essential that the appre-
citation of their difficulties should be
secured and there should be a better
understanding between the companies
and the people they, serve. Next to
providing of adequate service no prob
lem is of more vital Importance than
the subject of rates.
Under the present conditions OF
operation the rates are non too high
IN fact would prove Inadequate il the
volume Of traffic even slightly dimin-
ished- The period. however. is ore of
read tustmsnt and the tendency to-
wards lower costs will undoubtedly be-
come more marked during the coming
year. These conditions must be taken
full advantage of in order that rates
may be adjusted to Il more normal
basis. That this will be done goes
without saying as there is not a trans
portarion officer living who would not
prefer the prosperity of his enterprise
TO be accom- plished On a moderate
scale Of rates and a heavy and free
