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."
