A despatéh from Toronto says: The managers of the Canadian rail- ways have issued a special order to their train employes regarding the rules for running trains. “For some time past,” said an official, “there have been many accidents which have been attributed to the neglect of trainmen. When these men are brought up for investiga- tion by a superintendent they in- variably plead that they have not time to study the rules. They will have this excuse no longer, because we intend that they shall be exam- ined every three months while in 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 will be dismissed.” -â€"â€"-â€"-â€"â€"*P MAN SLAU G IITER Cii ARC: ED .
