Claim Prevention.

"Don’t talk war; talk claim prevention,” was the appeal of the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad to its employees in a campaign to lessen damage claims for careless handling of freight The rough handling of cars caused the largest number of these claims,, 70 per cent of which were for amounts less than $lO. The freight handlers and trainmen responded so loyally to the road’s appeal that in five months they saved $146,000.
