character of an employe should have
no bearing upon his relations with his
employer; that so long as he does his
work satisfactorily it is nobody's busl-
ness how he spends his time away from
his place of employment. This is a
fallacious idea, however. In railroads,

and If they are known to be spending
their spare hours in dissipation, is
not long before they are dropped from
their positions. Employers know that
it is only question Of time when last
living means stealing.
