HARRISBURO TELEGRAPH OTTHgi \ y*«AlLTOa>3) PULLMffI cm Mi a HEALTH RECORD Precautions Taken by P. R. R. to Keep Train Food Pure; Sanitary Rooms The efforts of the Pennsylvania Railroad to Insure that no person with even a tendency toward a com municable disease shall have anything to do with serving food on Its trains and in its restaurants have had re sults. A quarterly report Just made to the company of an examination made of all the Pullman employes who serve food In buffet broiler Pullman cars on the Pennsylvania Railroad, shows that not a single one of the 65 employes was found to have any trace of a com municable disease. The Pennsylvania Railroad, in January, 1913. established a rule to have a physical examination made of all dining car and restaurant em ployes every three months, rearer it was ordered that these examinations should be held every 30 day». Now the rule is to examine every one of these employes at least every 30 days. In order to surround the service with every possible precaution, there are provided at "lay-over points" for dining car stewards, waiters and cooks special lodging; with clean linens, clean beds, and every sanitary protec tion. These rooms receive regular, careful and minute inspection. Tests Almost Perfect; No Fatal Accidents In the first six months of 1915 the Pennsylvania Railroad made more than 2,000,000 efficiency tests of all kinds and 99.9 per cent, of them show ed perfect observance of all rules and regulations on the part of 135,458 em ployes. No passenger was killed in a train accident In the period covered by these tests—as a matter of fact, no pas senger has been killed in a train ac cident on the Pennsylvania Railroad since 1912. Twenty-eight and one-half per cent, less employes were killed in the first six months of 1915 than in the cor responding period of last year. This was not due to a heavy decrease in train mileage, as passenger Train miles were only 6 per cent, and freight train miles 8 per cent, less than in 1914. In 1914, 119 employes were killed In the first six months from various causes, while 85 employes were killed in 1915. Joint Railroad Meeting to Discuss Political Plans Action taken by local transportation brotherhood lodges will be reported at a , joint meeting of all Brotherhood members at the Board of Trade build ins to-night. Milt T. Robinson, chair man of the trainmen's legislative com mittee. will call the meeting to order at 8 o'clock and request the selection of a permanent chairman. Plans for taking up the work dur ing the Fall political campaign will be discussed, and an organization for Har rlsburg will be affected. It is under stood that a number of candidates will be placed in the field by the railroad ers. Erie Train Speed Tests Show Up Violators By Associated rress Sharon, Pa.. Aug. 16.
