Synopsis
Excerpt from Standards of Form and Color-Vision Required in Railway Service
Two standards should be required for entrance to the ser vice, a higher for those whose work will be on the head end of a train and in other important positions, and a lower for other operating men. Again, a higher standard should be required in each of those classes for entrance to this service than will suffice for a continuance Of duty after years of service. There is no injustice in requiring a high physical standard of men seeking certain kinds Of work, and there is no difficulty in obtaining such men; the trouble comes when men are discharged, after years Of faithful work, for defects which could have been discovered at the start, if a careful examination had been made at that time.
