TO E V E R Y O N E OF O U R E M P L O Y E S A N D TO E V E R Y M E M B E R OF T H E I R F A M I L I E S , I extend

Christmas Greetings a n d express the hope tha t the New

Year may be one of contentment. closer co-operation and

a better understanding of the difficulties tha t confront us

from time to time in our daily work.

Our grati tude goes ou t to the brave men who have

enlisted from our ranks for the defense of our country.

Wherever they may be a t this Christmas time, let us think

of them in the performance of their d u t y and , from their

example, draw inspiration for the completion of our own

tasks.

President.

Our Railroad, like all others, is operating under great

disadvantages. We all feel keenly our obligation to give thz

best possible service to our Country and to the p b l i c .

There are many things that we can do, aside from the

performance of our regular duties.

Our prosperity is measured by the feeling of the public

towards us. and the public will be patient, so long as i t is

satisfied tha t we are doing all that we can.

Team work is the best garantee we can give tha t we are doing our best.

I believe that Frisco men will give the Country and the

Company the best they have in them.

Suggestions that will aid in getting better results for the

Company, thc public or the men themselves, will be welcomed

and given prompt and careful consideration.

Very truly yours.

President.

Our Roll of Honor. There are Seven Hundred Fifty-four stars on our service flag.

Each star stands for one man who has left the service of the Frisco

to serve his country in the greatest war for the greatest p-inciple of

all times.

What they have done adds honor to the Frisco and it is for us who

remain behind to prove our appreciation.

I t is seasonable to recall the fact that they offer their lives for thc

great principles of Democracy even as He did who was born nearly two

thousand years ago.

We ardently pray that they may return in safety, but for thosc

who do not:

"On Fame's eternal camping Sround their silent tents are spread. And Glory with solemn round the bivouac of the dead."

"Nor shall their glory be forsot while Time her record kceps, And Honor points that hallowed spot where Valor proudly sleeps: Nor wreck, nor change. nor winter's blight, nor time's remorseless doom Shall dim one ray of holy light that their tomb."

Will You Help? Seven Hundred and Fifty iormerJ.Frisco employes

have answered the call to arms. These boys went from every point and irom every department. Not one Frisco employe today but what knows personally one or more of these boys, who have given up their jobs, their homes, their friends, and who will give their lives if need be, for OUR country.

While Uncle Sam iurnishes the necessities ot life for these boys, he does not furnish the pleasures, the luxuries, that we a t home are able to enjoy. Many of our boys are now in France, others on the way, still others are in the training camps preparing to "go over." They'll all be there soon. In war-ravaged France many little luxuries are not to be had, and it is up to us to supply them.

That our boys may enjoy, at least in a small measure, the comforts o i home, the Frisco Soldiers' Tobacco Fund has been organized, to receive subscriptions with which to purchase "Smokes" for our soldiers. "Do they want SMOKES? God, do they want them? They need them! They cry for them!" says Arthur Empey, an American who has been in the thick of the great war, in reply to the question, "Do they want them?"

All are invited to subscribe to this iund. Any amount will be appreciated. Let everybody help! All subscriptions will be acknowledged in The Frisco-Man.

Make all checks or money orders payable to

L. 0. WILLIAMS, Treasurer, Room 912 Frisco Bldg. St. Louis, Mo.

The Frisco Station School. E. R. 0. :Lfuelief.

On accounl of an unpreccdcnled shortage of man power throughout the country, caused by the Ivar. the FI-isco quickly realized the necessity o i training women lor positions in station service. IIXh this view in mind. the "Frisco Station School" a t Springlic!tl has hcen established.

The sole object oi this school is to train \\omen for such vacancies that may occur lrorn time to lime that can he lilled b y thcm ancl i t is not thc intention, at any lime, to discharge :L man employe lo make room lor a \roman.

The school is located a t Springlield, Mo., and is under the direction oT the Inspector of Slations. who wilh lwo ex- pericnced assistants, give the sltdenls the training irom a praclical standpoint and lhc lessons are arranzed, so the n.orli done in the school is, a s near as possible, like the duties ~)c.rformcd a t a station: actual \vnyhil!s $1 ith thcir numerous nota- tions and 1);lssin: stamps a[-e uscd to lamiliarizc the stuticnts with the same conditions they nil1 meet when placcti in positions a t stations; actual shipping ticlicts and hills of lading are used k)r hilling I)urposes to acquaint the studcnts I\-ith the many al~hrcvintions antl thc clill'erent styles used by shippers in prc- par in^ thcir I~ills o l lading. I n this manner the students gain a Iino~ylcdgc, while in training, that \\.ill cnahle them Lo k t t c r understand the \~o r l i assigned to them a t tlic slation.

The first ttvo \\-eclis arc consumed in studying the Frisco System kom a geo- graphical poir~t o l view, i ts o k c r s , the husiness terms used, the use o l \rayhills, csgcnsc hills, bills of lading, tarilis and classification, and a t the end o l this period LIE studcnls have a general lino\vledgc oi the work they arc entering. The interest displayed a t this stage is quite liecn and their eagerness to continuc the nork is very apparen t.

During the third u w l c o l study the

classes are formed into t ~ v o stations namctl: "St. Louis" and "Springfield," and a complete routine of station work is carried on; positions being changed lre- quently, so each student will become lamiliar nit11 the entire work antl thus he able to understand the relation one position bcnrs lo another, following the thread through the entire routine ol the office. This leaturc allords the opportunity to the students o l selecting the particular class o l \vorli that appcals to them most anti enables thcm to give special attention to that part o l the \vork.

The term of training consumes ahout eight weeks which includes two weeks o l actual work a t the Springkld Station and a t the end oC this period it is lelt the students are :ihlc lo go into on oflice and render valuable services and in a short time bccome proficicn~ in the duties regu- larly assigned to them.

, . I lic course of study is intel-sperscd with lectures by ollicials from the various cleparlnicnts, thus giving the students Lhe benefit of their Itnowledye \\hi& could not bc given to thcm through our regular printed Icssms.

The success o l the school is assured as will Ix seen irom the follow in^ figures:

The scliool iras ol~ened Septeml~er 3. 1917, ancl by tlic end of the \\-eel< lourteen students were enrolled. At the present time we have thirty-seven students in the clas-ses ancl up to Lhc prescnl Lime LiTteen students havc been sent out t!) p:)sitions.

Reports from Lhe stations t:) which these studcnLs have been sent are very favorable. lhe Agent heing pleased with the efforts being made hy the students to fill thcir positions.

S e w classes arc entered on the first and third bionclays of each month and s-, lar we havc had eager classcs a ~ r a i t i n ~ thcs:. dates.

The Station School is a groning institu- tion and the good results obtained is the r~warcl lor our eflorts.

Thirty-Iivc years ago I borro\ved $2:3.00 from a brother-in-law in Ohio and hought a ticket from a little town on the Ohio River to Kansas City. In those days the ticket agent rcceived a commission on tickets and he routed me north to 'Tolcdo and over the Wabash to Icansas City.

I had S1.63 left alter buying my ticltct, which a.as a second class ticket, and a s I was a greenhorn the news boy got all my change before I reached Toledo, and [I-on] there to ICansas City I lived on air and scenery. I leit Ohio in Kovcmber and in cold weather and 1 often think oi how I was dressed when I lrlt home. IIad on a pair o i low cut shocs. straw hat, and a white vest, no overcoat. I sure thought I was dressed up, but hp the time 1 got to St. Louis was frozcn and hungry enough to eat a bear. but thc "butch" had all nly money and I couldn't cat. When I got to Kansas City I was all in, and i l brother hadn't mct mc thcrc and led me, this history \\:auld not have been written.

1 arrived in Kansas City on Saturday evening and when Sunday morning came I supposed \vc \vould go to Sunday School as I had Ixen in the habit of doing, but the hrothcrs told me they w r e going to work, and I rode on the fireman's side of a switch engine all day Sunday. and

iv1ond:iy morning I ncnt to norli as a s\\itrhman. I had never seen a railroad helorc I qot on the t r a ~ r ~ in Ohio and had absolutclv no idea what a snitchman had to do, and In fact. had no ~ d e a \ \hat any railroad man had to do but I went to work, and I oiten thinh what a mess I must have made o i the job, rind when 1 see a young man starting out now in train service I think o i those days and do a11 I can for him lor I know what he is up against. I hadn't heen ivorlting more than a month until I thought I knew as much as anyhod! and it took several lessons to bring m- to learn that I didn't Itnow very much.

I often think t11at i l all experienced men \vould remember that a t one lime they didn't know it all, they \vould have morc pat icnce \vilh the young fello\i.s who are no\\ starting to uork , and maybe liic for thcsc young fellows \wuld be more pleasant, a ~ ~ t l \\.c ivould get along just as ivell. Thc two lessons I get lrom my experience, is to Iight shy ol a news "butch," and to remember that a t one tirnc I was a greenhorn and didn't lmow any morc than some of the young men a ho arc no\\ tr! lnfi lo make good.

I wore the stra v hat out, and the white vcst 1 1,eep a s a souvcnlr ol hygone days.

a a M Rule on Liberty Bond Tax.

A ruling was promulgated November 24. by Secretary IvIcAdoo clearing up the question as to the limit of tax exemption of income from Liberty Loan Bonds. The exemption is held to apply to the face value of Treasury certificates, Liberty Bonds, and nrar savings certilicates up to thesum of SD,000. Income from all aniounts beyond Lhis limit is subject to graduated income taxts and excess profits taxes.

The exchange of bonds of the lirst issue, which were entirely exempt from all manner of taxation, for bonds of the second issue carries no right to exemption. The text of the ruling lollo\vs:

"Holders, whether individuals, partner- ships, associations or corporations, of Liberty bonds, Treasury certificates of indebtedness, and war savings certificates, authorized by the Act ol September 24, 1917, are cntitled to csemption from all

income and war excess prolits taxes upon the interest received on a principal amount not to cxceed S3,000 lace value of such obligations. I f , for esample, Lhe holder owns $5,000 Treasury certificates of indebtedness, S7.000 4 per ccnt Libcrty bonds, and $2,000 war savings certificates, he \vill be entitltul to exemption from graduated additional income taxes and war excess profits taxes ulmn only the interest reccived up011 S5,000 of thc aforesaid obligations.

"It is immaterial whether the 4 per cent Liberty bonds were issued to the holder in exchange lor liberty bonds of the first series or Treasury certificates of indebtedness, or whether issued upm a new sub- scription. The exemption is upon the income ol $5.000 face value of the obligations issued by authority of the aforesaid Act ol Sept. 24. 1917."

Delay in Unveiling of Nixon Monument.

Frank A. Wightman, president of the Frisco Employes' Nixon Memorial Asso- ciation, in a circular letter dated 1)ecem- her 4, explains that the Nison AlIonun~ent purchased hy thc Asswialion \~ou ld not be ready for unveiling the first part o l Decembcr a s had originally been planned.

"On account of a shortaxe of labor in Lhc granite quarries a t Bnrre, Vt., wherc the monument is being made," says M r . Wightman, "we Lind that it will lalie several months' lime to complete the monument, and on account of the cold and stormy weather in Michigan during the nest Icw months, I thought it best t o postpone unveilinp o l the monument until May or June of nest year."

Mr. Wightman is very much disap-

pointed, as are all rnembcrs of the associa- lion, but wartime conditions have made it impossible to have it ready soon as expected.

Purchase War-Savings Stamps with your Savings. Our C;ovcrnmcnt has devised a plan

whereby ALL may invest their savings a t a prolit, and with absolute security. These securities are known as War-Sav- ings Stamps, which bear interest a t 4%. compounded quarterly, and mature Janu- ary 1. 1923. The cost o l these Stamps is between $4.12 and $4.23 during 1918, depending upon the month in which purchased. and their maturity value is $5.00.

When a War-Savings Stamp is purchased. a War-Savings Cerlilicatc is issucd. This Certificate is a pocket-sized lolder containing 20 spaces upon which to a f f ~ ~ War-Savings Stamps, and becomcs a Government obligation as soon as one or more Stamps are aflixed to it. If thcsc 20 spaces on the Certificate are filled with Stamps between December 3, 1917, and January 31, 1918. the cost to the purchaser will be $82.40, and on January 1, 1923, the date of maturity, thc Government will pay the owner o l the Certificate $100, a net profit 01 $17.60. This is based on 4'4 interest, compounded quartcr!y lrnm Jan- uary 2, 1918. These Stamps and Certili- cates have the same security as the Liberty Bonds, and may be cashed any time beiore maturity upon giving 10 days' written notice to any money-order post oi'fice.

If your s a v i n ~ s mill not permit pur- chasing War-Savings Stamps, buy Thrilt SLamps. These stamps cost 2% each. and with Lhe first stamp purchased a Thrift Card is lurnished. This Card pro- vides spacc ior 16 Thrill Stamps, and when filled represents a cost ol $400.

When the Thrift Card is. filled. it may then be exchanged lor a War-Savings Stamp upon the payment o l the few cents difference between thc $4 worth of Thrilt Stamps and the pricc of a War- Savings Stamp, for the month in which the exchange is made. Thus, if you fill pour Thrift Card and desire to exchan~e lor War-Savinjis Stamp in January, 1918,

you pay 12c additional; if exrhnnged in February, 1918, 13c additional, and so on. The Thril l Stamps or Cards do not bear interest, however. Interest hegins when they arc exchanged for the War-Savings Stamps.

This plan offers an excellent means lor everyone to invest thcir savings a t a prolit, and with all the security the Government arid the Pcoplc o l the United States. the ricliesl Nation in the world, can extend. Asidc irom the saving lealure it is performing :I great service to our Country. The lnonev derivcd irom the sale o l these Savings Stamps will be used in carrying on the war.

Freight Claim Prevention vs. Conservation. Junres D. l 'zrmer, Chief Groin & Coo/ C/uirn Adjuskr.

Conservation, the expression upper- most in the minds of all a t the present timc, is app!icab!e in many dificrent phases, but a s a matter of iact. the country's neccls in (his respect sh:)uld be rcadily turned toward the grain and coal supply There is, of coursc, n:) occasion for laxity to any clegrcc. as concerns the ~)roduction or manulaclure o i our many vitally importanl neccss;tics. in Lruth, it is the lime for lhc cullivalim and sgrc-ad of propagnda, L I - L I I ~ American, from \vhich in time, vast results will doublless be obtained

Freight C!airn I'rcvention is synony- mous ni lh the spirit of conscl-vation and in its accomplishment, a double purposz is served, Lhc ren~arcl of which is pxsonal gratification, with full knowledge that not only have you volunlecred your aid in sustaining the very lice and susLcnancc of your nation, but a t the same lime, h a w rendered a service, n.ilhout sncrilicc. to the Company which is truly proud to number you among its lruslcd workers.

With rcspact to losszs from shipn~cnts moving in hulk, principally grain and coal. much can be wid and various nlcthods can he prescribed, n m e oi which, howevcr, are any more important than the proper excl-cisr of care and good judgment, predi- catctl with a vie\\. of prolccling the Chnpany's ir~tcresl a t all tirncs and to the hesl of each one's ability. Take for instance, the important function of inspection and prcparalion of emply cars [or loading; the eycs of some can readily detect defects which might lo olhers pass un- noticed. Othcr existing conditions of no actual consequence a t lhc time o i inspcc- lion map result direclly in the devclop- ment of lealiage in transit, giving rise to enormous losses which might otherwise have hccr~ prevented. Considering the

car shortage and conditions a t the present time, a substantial increase in grain and coal payments might be foreseen and expxtcc: a s a circumstance which the carriers were powerless to prcvent; never- theless, the handling of individual cases has clearly shown Lhat many preventable Iwses are ever present among the increas- inx list of claims for shortage on these commoclilies.

Attention is als:) directed to lhc fact that the service rendered by equipmen1 in first-class condition is often cl::preciaterl hy the use of dcfcctive coopxinq or an improper arranxcmcnt thereof. Numer- ous instances can he ciletl where a poor grade o f lumber used as grain doors, or an insufficient amount of burlap hetween the doors and a t the pnsts, is alone the cause of vast shorlages, Lhe aggrejiate of which, were it available for consumption, would prove to he quilc an ilem loward the iul~illmcnt o l our presmt aim, "Maxi- mum production with a minimum of waste." A similar condition confronts us in connection with the us2 of o p m cars lor transporting coal, especially is this s!) with respect to hoppcr and dump bottom equipmcnt. I1 is intcresting to note thal only a small proportion of the loss-s lor which we pay emanate from solicl bottom cars. Chving to the nature of construction, tha first menli:)ned class of equipment is more readily susceptible to leakage, consequently great care should he taken to see that thc dump dam not only fit tightly, hut are propxly chained and securely fastened, thereby precluding to a certain degrez the pnssibility of the cars dumping their contcnts while in transit.

Records are another impartant feature principally irom the carriers' standpoint, which i l properly maintained, s x v e a s a safeguard to the Company's interest in

the investigalion and settlement o i claims ior loss, Many apparent discrepancies in weight are thc direct result o l variations in scaling, howevcr. such conclusions cannot be lorecastcd unless proper and accu- rate inlormation is maintained and submitted hy the representatives o l the operating departments. When you are asked lor details relative to your handling of any particular shipment, Itnow that your report is correct in cvery particular. IT you try to a n s w r inquiries from mem- ory, or lrom a very poorly maintained set o l records, the chances are (two to one) that an admission ol liability will ulti- mately result, in event therc is a question or douht o l the claim's validity. For example, it has been truly stated that no two scales weigh exactly alike; especially is this true of wagon scales. Cars o i coal loaded to capacity, weighed over track or mine scales, and handled to destination without exception invariably show a discrepancy in the amount billed and received, where the out-turn weight is obtained in wagon loads. Various conditions and opportunities exist which as a general rule are given no consideration, when in reality they are to the disadvantage ol the carrier. I l a car is hilled to its visible carrying capacity, particular care should he taken to obtain a delinite check o i its condition when set lor unloading. Know lor a certainty i l there is any evidence ol leakagc, partial removal o l contents, or indication of settled condition due to movement only.

I.et me also state that no less important a leature concerning grain shipments, is

the proper maintenance ol seal records. Therc are only two n.ays hy n-hich losses can occur. The grain must either leak lrom thc equipment or be removed there- from. A defective seal record, or a change of seals not properly accounted lor, will in most cases establish liability, regardless o l thc condition o l the car. On the other hand, a perlect record of seals, together with a dependahle inspection record a t destination and intermediate points, re- sulting in no evidcncc o l leakage lrom any source, is sufficient cvidence to war- rant the conclusion that there was no loss. regardless of a discrepancy in weights. Watch such cases closely, lamiliarize yoursell with conditions in your locality, and do not hesitate to report situations and circumstances n-hich, in your opinion, it is well that the proper ones have lmowl- edge of.

Much has been said and done in the past; more nil1 douht1t.s~ follow in the luture, nevcrthelcss therc is no time likc the present in which to stage the big drive. A practical elimination of such losses is a herculean task bcyond the hopes and expectations o i any one; in truth it may readily he tcrmecl imp:)ssible. It is a well known axiom that no railroad can operate without losses in claims, yct the iact remains that conditions shoi~lcl not he allowed to prevail, hy means 01 which ahnormal losscs will continue to pile up. Thc spirit o l the times should he to co-opcratc--get to~cther-and stand united lor the good o l our Country and the Company.

The total number ol Personal injuries for the fiscal year just ended, shows an increase oi 10 per cent. The cause of this incrcase was due to the fact that injuries lo Passengers and Outsiders increased, while injuries to Employes decreased slightly, but not enough to overcome the increase in injurics to I'assengers and Outsiders. Injuries to various classes of employes show a dccrease lor the Track- men, Carmen and Shopmen, while the Trainmen, Switchmen, Stationmen, Uridgemen and Other Employes show increases. Thc net decrease, however, was 4 per cent.

At thc Springfield shops injuries show a 48 per cent decrease, of which the Reclamation Plant ranked first with an 83';; decrease, the North Shops second with 53%.

On the Eastcrn Division, injuries to all classes of persons show a 974, incrcase, which was due to a 38% increase in passenger injuries, although injuries to employes decreased 15%, and to outsiders 19':$,. The Iihmres on classes ol employes show decrcascs in injuries among the Switch- men, Stationmcn, Trackmen, and Bridge- men, while the Carmen, Shopmen, and Other Employes show increases. Injuries to Trainmen wcre the same this year as last. The net dccrease lor all employes was 15%.

Pe~sonal injuries to all persons on the Central Division show a decrease of 58'i;,, the Passengers leading with a 79';; decrease, Employs second with 47(7;, and the Outsiders third with 42'jh-a mighty good record. ' The Employes by classes

all show substantial decreases, with thc csccption of the Uridgemen and Carmen, which were the sane as the year before.

On the Southern L)ivision, injuries to Passcngers decreased 62'&, but injuries to Employes increased 102:;'. and to Out- siders 35c/, a net increase for all classes of 41%. The Employes by classes all show increases, ranging lrom 576 for the Trackmen to 2400'2, lor the Bridgemen.

The River & Cape Division pulls up with a 21254 increase in injuries to passengers, and 21% to Outsiders, while Em- ployes show a 12% decrease. The Em- ployes by classes show a decrease for the Trackmen of 91%, and lor the Stationmen and Other Employes .5O';b in each case.

The Western Division made an excellent rccord. Injuries to Passengers! Employes and Outsiders all decreased on an average of 50%. Figures on Employes by classes show the Carmen and Other Employes tied with a decreasc ol 100%). The other classes all shonf decreases ranging lrom 18'/, to 62'2, with the esception of the Stationmen, which did not change.

The Southwcstcrn Division shows a net increase all the way through, Passengers leading with 643'7;, Employes with 11(/; and Outsiders 974, for a net increase lor the Division ol 1MC,(,. The Trainmen n.ith 274, and the Bridgemen with 59% are the only classcs to show a decreasc. ?he others showing incrcases from 11% to 2.50%;.

At thc Terminals, St. Louis shows a net 16'2, increase in injurics to all persons. Injurics to Passcngers increased 33(,4,, to Ihployes 19'/1, whilc Outsiders show a dccrease of SO':',. By classes, Stationmen and Other Employcs are all that show decreases.

Injuries a t the Springfield Terminals show an average of 31(/, decrease to all persons. Passengers injured decreased

50G/,, Employcs 31L/,, n hile (.)utsidci\ increased 5051. By cla~ses, all show dc- creases with the exceptmn of Other Employes, which shows an increase o i 95,.

At the Kansrls C ~ t y Term~nals, the total injuries increased 25%. 01 the Employes, the Trackmen show a decrease of 100(,,, and the Carmen 60C/,, but all other classes shom increases suflicient to shom an average increase 01 8(.; lor the employes.

Deaths and Injuries Decrease.

Statistics just issued by Frank A. Wightman, Superinlendent oiSalcty, show a steady decrease in numbcr of deaths and injuries to employes, for thc last live years, althouqh h~~siness has increased.

Employes killed in the fiscal year 1912, which is used as a hasis, Tere 62, and the

number o f gross tons carried one mile were 7,418,751,635, In 1913 the deaths decrcasetl 43.5 per ccnt, n.hile the gross tons increased 10.9 per cent as compared with 1912. For 1914 deaths decreased 38.7 per cent, gross tons increased 11.1 per cent, and in 1915 deaths decreased 67.7 per cent, while gross tons carried one mile increased 8.5 per cent. Deaths show a decrease of 43.2 per cent in 1916, and gross tons carried an increase of 23.3 per ccnt, while in 1917 deaths decrcnsed 27.4 pcr cent and gross tons increased 30.7 per cent, as compared with 1912.

Injurics to employes in 1912 were 3,785, whilc the gross tons carried one mile were the same as shown above. As compared with 1912,injuries to employes during 1913 decrexed 24.5 per cent, in 1914 30.3 per cent, 1915 45.2 per cent, 1916 45.8 per cent, and in 1917 30.8 per cent.
