“Probably the most perfect spotter
system achieved by any private cor¬
says S. II. Adams iu Ains-
“is that of one of the big eastern
railroads, which is to some extent
modeled on the secret service system
of some of the eastern governments,
though by no means so complex.
“So fan-caching and so direct, how¬
are Us lines of communication
that the president of tlie organization
is himself kept constantly informed
the trend of affairs and the changes
of sentiment among the employees of
every division and subdivision of the
whole railway system, and that with¬
the knowledge of any other persons
but his own special corps of clerks
and secretaries.
“Nobody but himself knows the en¬
tire personnel of the wonderful service
that ho has perfected. His agents .are
drawn from every branch of the road’s
operating staff. They, arc engineers,
freight brnkemen. passenger trainmen,
conductors, signalmen, yardmen, sta¬
tion agents, track walkers and even
division officials, Should that road
have a strike—and strikes are far less
likely to occur than they were before
the present system was put into op¬
eration—the president will have de¬
tailed warnings of it from all the
storm centers long before the first mut-
terid|:s find cautious utterance iu the
newspapers. defense
"While it also acts as a
against thefts by employees, this sys¬
tem is Intended primarily to prepare,
so to speakj a diary of the disposition,
character, working efficiency aud senti¬
ments toward the road of the men who
constitute the vast human machinery
of the corporation. The feeling which
culminates in a general strike is cot
the result of one act alone, but a slow

real or fancied.

attitude of Ills employees is the aim of

Information to that effect comes ‘by
underground wire’ to the central ofltce,
and the matter is taken under advise-
rnent.. If the newest fireman on the
road attempts to stir up discontent by
inflammatory talk, his views soon
reach the official car. Every leading
spirit iu the employees’ organization is
knowD to the president, who also
knows whether, in case of trouble, the
man Is to be’reckoned upon as a con-
servative or a radical.
“Sometimes this works out the man's
career in a manner quite incomprehen¬
sible to him For instance, Night
Watchman Brown is shifted without

vision to another. How should h ’

“Several years ago at a time of gen-
eral labor troubles a certain railroad
got no less than five reports from its
confidential men informing them that
an employee who was several degrees
higher in the secret service of the road
than any of them had they but known
it, had been making incendiary speech
os.
“This was true. Matter? had s>
shaped themselves that the man ac
cused had to’appea. as a~radical in or
