Ing 10 perform their usual and legitimate duties
incident 90 the switching and handling Of trains
with Pullman cars attached. The entire system
has been crippled 10 days by the strike. and Ia
not yet In position to fuln Its entire duty as
carrier OF the United states mails and Of
lnterstateo commerce. In order to perform Its
business II has been necessary TO employ men
10 take the places OF those who voluntarily

difiicnty the former employees have been called
upon Tor service In their respective positions

connection with the road under the uniform and
recognized eustom regulating railroad services.
The positions nled must therefore be consid-
cred as being occupied permanently. Former

employ of the road who were coerced into strik-

proper appreciation of the circumstances and
| conditions. and who have taken no part In tho
Iiotous demonstrations. destruction of property.
or interfering with employees who desire 10 and
did enter upon or continued To perform the du-
| ties Incident To the operation of the road. and
who have both the viii and the ability 10 render
| efficient and loyal service. Therefore notice Is
her by given thai until u O'Clock noon, July Is,
| iSI no new employees will be- assigned TO duty
and applications will be received from such for
| mer employees ms desire To reenter the service
subject 10 the conditions and qualifications here
matter stated.
Applications should he made TO the superin-
| tendent. master mechanic. foreman and other
| officers and agents who usually and customar ly
employ men. Men recntering the service will
take rank and have rllhts In the positions now
vacant in the same relation 10 each other thas
existed before they severed their connection
with the road Men who have not been called
ON or who have not evaded calls for service Will
be considered as stlll In the employ Of the road
/ and will rank and have rights rs on June 5.
i is9L From and after ~ O'Clock noon OF sun
day next the assignment Of now men to post
tions viii continue and seniority rights OF such
appoinlees will date from tho time Of their as
s.cnmcnt to duty. Men who have fomented
disturbance, who have participated In violence

have counseled disobs iience to the rules OF the
road who have lnterfered with and sought To
prevent men from performing service for the
| road, or In other words agltators. Will noe
