Resolution Adopted by the Third Annual Conclave of Mediators

WHEREAS, The public press of the country has the con- fidence of the reading public; and,

IVHEREAS, The hostile attitude of public opinion toward railroads in particular has caused the passage of numerous ill- advised and burdensome legislative enactments against the railroads of the country; and,

WHEREAS, The railroads have thus been driven into tight straits by unreasonable legislative interference and find it in- creasingly difficult to geuge their cspeilses to fil their income; and,

IVHEREAS, The correction of this situation lies in the hands of the public which gathers its information from the public press; be it therefore

RESOLVED, Tha t it be urged upon the public press to exercise impartial and diligent care in the publication of facts concerning railroad matters; and,

RESOLVED, Tha t the Third Annual Cdnclave of Mediators, consisting of delegates from 31 states of the Union, the majority of whom obtain a living from the railroads, and whose future depends upon the prosperity of their employing concerns, pledge ourselves to render all possible assistance to newspapers and their representatives for the carrying out of the policy suggested herein, and to give all possible information to our immediate legislative representatives and railroad commissioners so they may be fully informed regarding these matters, to the end that they may be enabled intelligently to deal with this momentous problem in the future n.hich vitally affects not only our personal interests, but the general interest of thc whole public, and thnt the com- munities may receive all the advantage they a re now being de- prived of through a lack of facilities due to the present harass- ment which we deplore.

THJC MEDIATOR FOR AUGUST begins the story of this great conclave. It is a thrilling narrative for railroad men everywhere. It includes a report of the great speech of Governor James 11. Cox of Ohio, on Agricultural Day. Send ten cents in stamps for the August issue. Better still, send one dollar for a whole year's subscription to this great magazine, the lcader of modern industrial thought.

Springfield, Blo., July 29, 1913. FAREWELL GREETINGS! to

my many fellow-workmen and ac- quaintances of the past thirteen years on the Frisco. Am leaving the service with the best of feel- ing toward all employes, and fully recognize the assistance, willingly extended by all, to make a success of the Mechanical Departn~ent; this, I have a t all times appreciated. If we have failed, it was not on account of indifference or lack of loyalty to our superior.

My health for the past year or so has not been snch a s to war- rant continuing under a strain, but

Very sincerely, GEO. -4. HARTCOCK.

V. E. T. on Safety Regarding Safety First now in-

augurated on so many of the railroads in this country. In my opinion it is the grandest movement ever organ- ized by any corporation.

There are three things I would like to bring before the minds of Frisco men, and I would like employes of every railroad in this country to get the idea into their minds, also into the minds of their families.

First, that the railroads inaugvra ted this inovemcnt Crom a point of money making and money saving for the company, as well as for the saving of life and limb and the suffering oC hllmanity, realizing that what a railroad makes and saves is through the employes from the station man to the president of the road.

Second, we as employes know that what is money t o the railroad is money, or amounts to the same thing, to the employes. When the railroads a r e prosperous, the employes, to a great extent, are probperons also.

Third, the railroad managers of this county have realized that in unity there is strength and where unity and strength wol'k in liarmony there a re sure to be results. Every dollar we save for the company through Safety First means, a t least indirectly, a saving of life and limb, sorrow and suffering to some 1)oor soul, and in many cases to sonle fellow workman.

Kow let ine say to jou, oue autl all, let's do with might !\hat onr minds and lmids And to do to prevent suffering, death and gricf to ~nniiltit~tl by living up to the Safety Yirst niove- ment, which in my oyinion inei~ns to lay aside all prejudices and consider God, then man it1 everj lliing.

Safety First News Chairman W. B. Spaulding of the

Central Safety Committee says: "The most interesting, a s well a s

the most pleasing, thing I know occur- ring in connection with the Safety First movement on the Frisco during the last thirty days, was the anxious inquiry of the manager of a large hospital in North Texas, if the reason for the radical diminution in the number of Frisco patients formerly sent to that hospital mas due to dissatisfac- tion with the service given or at- tributable to the Safety First movement, of which h e had heard. Also the statement of the Frisco surgeon a t a junction point tributary to that same hospital, that his practice had fallen off so greatly since the Safety First movement was started on the Frisco that his income was no longer sufficient to pay his living expenses and he would have to move elsewhere.

"When it is realized that, during the eleven months ending Nay 31. 1913, a s compared with the same period prior to the inauguration of the Safety First movement, there was a reduction of 28 per cent in the number of in- juries on the Frisco, it is not surpris- ing that hospitals and doctors feel the effect on their income of this plan of personal injury prevention, and this effect will become more noticeable as knowledge of the efficiency of the plan spreads among railroad men and i ts manifold benefits become more mani- fest to them."

One of the spcalters a t the Safely First meeting, Fort Smith, Ark., Ma!; 26, was Chief 1)ispatcher H. &I. Eshel- man of the Central Division, and the following excerpts from his talk are recornmended to your attention:

Joe and Maud Practically every employe in Spring-

field is acquainted with Joe H. Wilson, the Frisco's transfer driver a t that point.

Mr. Wilson entered the service of the company in 1890, ditching between Springfield and Richland, 310. He took

a position in the North Shops in 1892, in which he remained until 1894, when he was transferred to the machine shops. In 1895 he went to driving the transfer team.

Maud (in harness) is also a familiar figure to Springfield employes. She has been in service for the last six years and is now eleven years old.

Standard File System for Division Offices The following system of liling cor-

respotidence by subject and dash Ilutrn- ber, adopted by the Frisco Office Efliciencg Associatio~t, will be i~laugu- rated in all division offices, efl'eclive July 1, 1913.

Each station is to be assigned a sell- arate ~lulnher-numbers 1 to 199 inclusive having been provided lor this purpose-and all subjects arc to be filetl under station index a s far a s 110~~ib le .

Matters coming up ulder st:~tions have been divided into twenty-three classes, each being give11 a dash n u n - Ijer as provided in the following list.

1~:i~ch subject coming 111) is lo be giveit :I consecutive dash nuntbt'r UII -

tler each class of wor!c-as the case may be. E'or instance, in the case of the station to which Kumber 1 is assigned, the first entry under this station regarding baggage will be 1-1-1 and the second entry concerning baggage will be 1-1-2 and so on down the line.

Nunlbers 200 to 1094 a re assigned to ntiscellaneous subjects, which affords a wide latitude for cross indexing. Cross indexing each nlatter under as muny diderent subjects as yossible is to be encouraged, using always the number of the first subject under which it was recorded.

The success of this systenz del~entls upon the abundant use of cross indexing, and it is desired that this feature be impressed upon each party having charge of the file.

Xat ters coming up that cannot be it~tlesetl uncles stations, will be recorded under the n~iscellaneous subject covering, using next consecutive number. Ij'or instance, correspon- dence covering baggage originating a t no particular statiou shoulcl be recorded under subject "Baggage" a s 300-1; next entry will be 300-2, etc.

Subject Xutnber 326, also 328-the dash number to consist of the last two digits of the car ~iunlber; for instance, IJEL:\Y lo S F 57211, should be re- colded as 326-11.

Subject Number 588 "Instructions," all rulings and instructions sl~oultl be reconled undcr the subjec,t coverinji and cross filetl under Instr~~ct ions.

Carbon copy is to be made oC all recluisitions, each benriny the correct prefix, MW-CT or ME, a s the case may be, and the requisitions Aled cousecu- tively. Subject No. 792 to cover all ruling, etc., in regard to requisitions.

900 series of numbers is assigned to l~andling of train delays. For instance, Train No. 32 is delayed June 17th. Without making any record this will be numbered 932-6-17; in other words, train number, month and date.

Engil~es a re to be filed under engine number and bearing prefix "E."

Engine failures are to be filed under engine, nlonth and date, bearing prefix "EIP,"

This system covers the ground fully, ant1 in case any p o i ~ ~ t is not sufficient- ly clear, full information will be fur- nished promljtly.

YOUR WATCH . . . . . . -A SAFETY APPLIANCE : . 2 tJ The air-brake, the automatic coupler, block signals and interlock- ing systems, and the modern high-standard railroad watch a re the safety appliances which make present-day railroading possible and safe.

You have direct interest in them all; but you own and control the most important safety appliance-your standard watch. I t is the one tool you provide and a r e responsible for, and as a good railroad man you should equip yourself on a basis of rxiability and safety.

You need only buy one watch-that important safety appliance- in a lifetime if you get the best. Don't "stall along" with a n old watch or a cheap affair that just "limps past" the Inspectors-invest in a "Ball Watch," built especially for modern railroad require- ments-an actual trial and permanent guarantee if you want. - SEE OUR AUTHORIZED AGENT AT YOUR DIVISION POINT, : .
