| The Baltiomre and Ohio Railroad has
| followed in the wake of the Atlantic
Coast Line, and its women stenograph..
| ers will lose their positions. In the
future the Baltimore and Ohio will en-
ploy only men. President Loree gave
as his reason that he believes in pro
motions and desires all clerks to fit
themselves for higher places. He does
not think women capable of grasping
railroad business as men are Officials
| of many other roads do not agree with
President Loree, and it is doubtful if
the exclusion of women photographers
will become general among the big
companies.
