The managers of the Canadian rail-

their train employes regarding the
rules for running trains. "For

"there have been many accidents
which have been attributed to the
neglect of trainmen. When these
men are brought up for investiga-

have this excuse no longer, because
we intend that they shall be exam-

the company's service. We will give
every man a fair chance to become
familiar with the laws and if they
fail to pass the examination they
