of a great system to its laborers.
The speech or talk was one.-?ftat
will long be remember^ 6y every one
present and wejtf a long way inbrldgeing
overtlie existing feeling that corJHYationa
have no heart.
For the lack of space we can quote
*"* but a few extracts as folio ws:
The fundamental idea that 1 wish
to impress upon you is that there is a
complete identity of Interests between
tbe railway company and Its employees.
The highest successor ihe company
1s a business institution and the
utmost development of its ability to
perform its important function as a
common carrier require that each ofli
ciai ana employee snoum serve it as
efficiently as possible On the other
band, each e nap lay ee is interested in
the company attaining the highest
possible degree of prosperity, for upon
this depends its ability to give per
manent employment and to pay ade
quate wages.
The management of the Southern
Railway recognizes this identity of
interests. It recognizes that the wages
of all employees should be reason
able, and the employees, in turn,
should be guided by considerations
of reasonableness in all conferences
arreeung wanes or one conditions or
employment The fortunes of each
employee are bound up with those of
tne company.
The company owes to each of Its
employees full recompense for his s-r
vices In accordance with the terms
of his employ ment, and every emplo ec.
having accepted employment from tu?
company,owes to it his undivided al
legiance and bis most effective service
as fully as do the president and t lit
other officials.
As every employee has a vital intriest
in the success of the road, Ife mu?t
appreciate the importance, not only I
the railway company, but to himseh'
of tlie devotion of Ills energies to a
thorough understanding of |,jS duties
and to the proper performance of them
whatever they m*y be. The duties t'
a flagman at a street crosson are just
as important In his sphere as are tl c
duties of tne president in his. The J
efficiency of the road depends upon the 1
m i
GsSrfr^H-'. BE *
ji-i_. . _ n? .
am a ape
efficiency of Individuals, each in his ljj
own capacity. There must be diatribe I
tion of services and of responsibilities |
anioni? the president, the executive ill
otlloers, and the employees In all de- Ig
p&rtment s, and each must perform his : I
own duties. The president can no I
more perform your duties than you cxn ^
perform his, and unless the work i f I
individuals in all departments is per. 1
I formed properly, successful adminis- E
tratlon is Impossible. i
The elUclency of individual effort j|
will avail little, however, without in- w
. tclligent administration and the co. L
ordination of the work of all departtnenls.
In other words, co-operation L
throughout the whole organization |
i is of supreme Importance to its sue- |
cess, for, If we have this, we shall |
nave maiviau- uoy ana earnest

"TToT special Imparlance. At sucli a '
time it Is of Imperative necessity ,M
that all parts of the railway plan* ta
should be working to their full capacl- c i
ty and that the work should be direct- t'
! cd along the lines of the greatest elll- i i
clency. The duty of the oiliclais and tc
employees to the public and to the in
r <ai Is to keep the traffic moving with sa
the least possible delay. Cars and en- P'
gines are a most important part of the SP
I railway plant. fr<
1
To the public and to trie road they 44,1
represent the instrumentalities hy
wihch trailic must be mived. To the a"
road they represent also burrowed a"
cvpital oil which inteie-it must be paid K
If any pxrt of the railway plant is idle of
as, fur instance, cars and engines, that P 1
part is failing to perform its function ?
n J
for tlie service of the public and is
failing to contribute its share to the
common fund from which interest. 01
wages, and all other expenses must be cl(
?j w>
paid.
It is tlie duty ol all employees, and
It is to their interest as well, to keep
the plant fully employed. The re- S?
sponsibillty for keeping the engines
and cars moving rests upon the trainmen
and upon them devolves the care
j of the equipment essential to the pre
sanation orits etliciency. Up ?n them nf.
devo'ves, also tlut degree of c ire and to]
on
watchfulness necessary to guard agains

put them in condition for service again prl
a* speedily as is consistent wlt.li proper
