RAILROAD PROMOTION FOR MEN WHO WORK Praises For Head of Middle Division of Pennsylvania Railroad One of the many Penngy officials who is anxious to see increased ac tivity in the get-together movement among railroad men is 0. C. Johnson, superintendent of the Middle Division. He has received many invitations to attend meetings on other divisions. His recent promotion has brought to notice that he has been a big factor in bringing about satisfactory condi tions for railroad employes. The cur recent Issue of the Mutual Magazine prints the following: A Chuure For AH "Mr. Johnson's promotion exem plifies'the possibilities open to all em ployes of the Pennsylvania Railroad, if they are willing to pay tlie price of promotion. "Starting as a night telegraph op erator in an obscure little block of fice, where the very lonesomeness of the surroundings would have discour aged a less determined man than Mr. Johnson, he laid the foundation for his railroad career. Time continued its race and with it he was carried by successive flights to more respon sible positions, until he has become one of the best known and most re spected of the higher officials of the great corporation which he has serv ed so faithfully. His unlimited en evgy, boundless courage, scrupulous fairness and generosity almost to a fault have commanded the respect of his superiors and the affection of his subordinates. * Kornlvlnjt Deposition "Mr. Johnson is one of those demo cratic human men whose actions are always guided by a lofty motive and whose judgment is never formed until the frailties of human nature are con- | sidered. His disposition to forgive the mistakes made in an effort to ac complish is the evidence of the big man that he is. His high example and straightforwardness command the respect of his subordinates and their unbounded faith in him to such a degree that there is not a thought or a desire to violate his instruc tions or disregard his wishes. His courage, firmness and fairness are the enviable qualities that have made him a leader of men and are virtues that only great men possess. His humble railroad beginning and hfs own struggle to succeed undoubtedly have done much to create the interest he always has for the fellow at the bottom of the ladder who is doing his best Able l.nbor Advocate "As chairman of the labor board, it was his duty to handle the most troublesome and trying of all rail road questions grievances. These grievances, seme real, some imagin ary, had to be analyzed, and the merit of them decided upon with Jus tice as tlie only consideration—justice to the employe and justice to the railroad. In this troublesome task, his sense of absolute fairness wits his great asset, and we doubt if any fair-minded employe ever left his of fice, after making a complaint, that did not feel that justice would be given him. Mr. Johnson's great ability to or ganize, to draw men close to his heart and to make them have confidence in themselves, was responsible for a splendid and efficient office organi zation which would make the head of any department feel proud. "He has gone forth to make new | friends but not to be forgotten by the old ones."
