General Manager Dickinson of the

forming employees that the habitual use
of Intoxicating liquors or the frequent
ing of saloons will be considered sufi-
Gent cause for dismissal. The bulletin
reads as follows: 1T is reported that
certain employees are INDUCING habitu-
ally in the use of Intoxicating liquors.
and that some are frequenters of sa-
looms and places where such liquors are
sold. 1t is weI-known fact that the
habitual use of intoxicating liquors i'm
pairs the efficiency of a person addicted
to such use: The duties of the employees
engaged in the transportation and me-
chanical departments, are most exacting
and necessarily demand clear judgment
and a sound body: It is therefore deemed
habitual use of intoxicating liquors or the
frequenting of saloons or places where
such LIQUORS are sold will be consider
ed sufficient cause for dismissal from the
