IP p<. \il t was tuore on the ordet oi a heir heart talk, thin that of a Pros of a great system to its laborers. The speech or talk was one will long be rcmembpr^ 6y every one present and wp.j^ a long way inbrldgeing over the existing feeling that cor wrations nave no neart. For the lack of space we can quote but a few extracts as follows:"The fundamental Idea that. T wish to impress upon you Is that there Is a complete identity of Interests between the railway company and Its employees. The highest, success of ihe company is a business Institution and the utmost development of Its ability to perform Its important function as a common carrier require that each officlal and employee should serve it as efficiently as possible On the other hand, each employee 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 wag es of all employees should be reason able, and the employees, in turn, should be guided by considerations of reasonableness in all conferences affecting wages or the conditions of 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 vice* In accordance wilh the terms or his employment, and every emplo e<\ having accepted employment from tin company, owes to it his undivided al leglance and his most effective service as fully as do the president and tin other officials. As every employee lias a vital intneat in the success of the road, He must appreciate the Importance, not only i the railway company, but to himseli' of the devotion of his energies to a thorough understanding of iiis duties and to the proper performance of them whatever they may be. The duties (1 a flagman at a street crosson are Just as important in ids sphere as are II e duties of Lne president in his. The efficiency of the road depends upon the gp: ^ I lake a Sp efliclency of individuals, each in 1>i< own capacity. There must bedistritu tion of services and of responsible lie: anions the president, the executive otllcers, and the employees in all de partments, and each must perform hi own dutleB. The president can im more perform your duties than you cm perform his, and unless the work o individuals in all departments is per formed properly, successful adminis tration is impossible. The elllclency of individual effort will avail little, however, without intelligent administration and the co ordination of the work of ail departmAnts III nt li?r wnrHi cn.nnoralint throughout the whole organiz itloi is of supreme importance to its suc< cess, for, if we have this, we rhal have indivldu" alty and car'.?ect ncss of eft'- %ry departmen there m .y term iniell gentt i a individual co or- * or other for the bes . Between all depart must be zealous co-opera o head of each department am , under him working harmonious with the members of all otbar de partments for tlie etll iency of tlx road as a whole.

At such a time it is of imperative necessitj that all parts of the railway plan1 should be working to their fullcapacl ty and that the work should be direct ed along the lines of tlio greatest erth cleney. The duty of the officials anc employees to the public and to tin r i*1 Is to keep the trafllc moving wltl the least possible delay. Cars and en gines are a most impo' ta?>t part of tin railway plant. To the public and to trie road thej represent the instrumentalities b] wiheh traffic must be moved. To tin road they represent also borrower cipital on which inteiesc must he paid If any part of the railway plant is idk as, for instance, cars and engines, thai part is failing to p >rform its function for the service of the public and i? falling to contribute its share to the common fund from which interest wages, and ail other expenses must in i paid. j It is tlie duty of all employees, and ! It Is lo their interest as well, to keep ! the plant f til I v emoloved. TIia rp. sponsibillty for keeping the engine: and cars moving rests upon the trainman and upon them devolves the car< i of the equipment essential to the pre servatlcn of its efficiency.
