12 RAILROAD RUMBLES WHY PENNSY IS SEEKING HELP To Establish Employment Clearing House Agents Receive Applications Under a new plun for handling ap plications for work, which Is now' being Bub into effect by the Pennsylvania railroad, everyone ef tiie 1,600 station hgents on the lines east of Pittsburgh and lirle will become nil employment agent, 111 connection with this changei what will virtually be an em ployment clearing house 19 to be es tablished in the general manager s department at Broad street station, Philadelphia* l'hls Is the latest ex planation of the recent system-wide advertisements Front Philadelphia comes informa tion that the purpose of the Hew plan is to encourage the entrance Into the service of the Pennsylvania railroad of a greater number of men who live in the neighborhood of its lines and Shops, It has always been the policy of tne Pennsylvania railroad, as far as uossthlet to offer the first opportuni ties for work to people who are its neighbors, it is the belief of the man agement that a number of men in the country districts, as well as in the towns, villages and cities through Which its lines pass, would welcome the chance to make railroading their career, but in many cases do rot know were to apply. The new employment arrangements will make It easy for anyone to make an application and to ascertain what lines of service are open and In what localities work for Which he Is fitted may be obtained. Clearing House Plait Notices posted conspicuously at various points along the railroad, di rects all persons seeking employment to apply to the Station agent or super intendent. The agent will interview each applicant, learn his capabilities ns fully as possible and direct him to the nearest shop foreman, supervisor, trainmaster or road foreman of en gines, who may have vacancies at their disposal. If there are no vacancies on the division where the application Is made, it will be forwarded to the efflco of the general manager in Broad street station where it will bo handled through the clearing house plan which is to be established. Under the clearing house plan, each general superintendent will forward, once a week, to the general manager a list showing the number of vacancies on his grand division for shop labor ers, car repairmen, car cleaners, en gine cleaners, brakemen, gremen, freight hanrlers, trackmen, etc. By this means every applicant for work can be promptly directed to the near est point where labor is needed, in case no opportunity exists near his home. This arrangement, it is thought, will greatly aid in equalizing the distribu tion of labor and the opportunities for work In the railroad service.
