Stationary Engineers in Session.
Mii.waukkk, Sept 4.—Delegates rep
I resenting nearly 20,000 stationary engi
; tieers in all parts of the country met in
' Milwaukee today to begin the niue
1 teentli annual convention of tbe National
Association of stationary Kngineers. The
I forenoon session was called to order by
i Chairman P. H Early of the local ar
rangement committee. Mayor Rose wel
comed the delegates in behalf of the city
and responses were made by D. B. Van
Tassel of Chicago anil Chas. R. Garlich
at
3,
of
of
to
of Pittsburg. National President Her
l>ert K Stone of Boston then assumed di
rection of the convention, which began its
business sessions this afternoon.
Tlte National Association of Kngineers,
which has liecouie powerful by the rapid
increase in membership since its organi
zation in 1S82, is one of the most influen
tial of labor organizations. The associa
tion prides itself on the fact that it has
never resorted to coercion to increase its
membership. The organization is also
unique among labor bodies in that it
does not place a ban on any one not con
nected with it. The proceedings of the
present convention will extend over three
days and will l>e devoted almost exclu
sively to the transaction of routine busi
ness connected with the affairs of the as
sociation.
New System of Discipline.
On the first of Septemlier the Brown
system of discipline went into effect on
the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line.
The main feature of the system is the
cultivation of a better feeling between
the employes and the officials who are
placed over them. In a brief sentence it
can lie summed up as ljeiitg discipline
without suspension This system is rap
idly lieing adopted by the leading rail
roads of this continent.
Under the old system railroad em
ployes were reprimanded, suspended,
with loss of pay for a stated period or
dismissed.
Under the Brown system each em
ploye's service is by record only and in
the record book is kept his whole service
record. Tilts is operated on the princi
ple of a ledger with a good and had, debt
and credit account under each name, in
stead of lieing suspended for a stated
period for violation of rules, damage
caused by carelessness or personal mat
ters affecting the good of the service.
This is one record only. On the other
hand, a clear record needs no entries,
but that does not prevent special men
tion being made on the record for any
acts of bravery or heroism, special acts of
loyalty or protection of the company's
interest. In fact, the Brown system is
one that gives full credit to all the em
ployes and the good record may he used
to wipe out the had record; for instance,
on the road a reprimand will lie cancelled
by a perfect record for three month*; a
suspension of teu days will he cancelled
by a perfect record for six months, and so
on.
Under the present system a division
superintendent may be the only one who
knows of an employe's good acts, but
under the Brown system his record tells
the whole story to the general operating
department.
A continued had record may lie cause
for dismissal from the service as also a
violation of the rules serious enough to
merit the extreme punishment.
