B. & O. R. R. SHOP The many changes that have been made in and about the different shops in the last few months are most noticeable even to the uninterested. It is a pleasure to the writer to ex press his appreciation of the efforts the employers are making to improve the conditions of the employees. I am a great believer in fair deal ing, and 1 believe if the employees wish to be fair to the employers they should, in some way, show their ap preciation of this consideration. The Company has not only granted a liberal general raise to all em ployees but has spent thousands of dollars on improvements in the shops and offices, and has installed many new machines of the latest and most expensive type. At the present time they have many other improvements under way which are for the welfare and benefit of their employees. We have been informed that in the near future there will be a new sanitary and modern toilet built to replace the old one. These are things we all should appreciate, and by show’ing this ap preciation we promote harmony and add another link to the great chain which binds together the employer and the employee in a fraternal way. These conditions promote efficiency, and in efficiency lies the success industry and the general welfare the employe and his family. of of John Bush. B. & O.
