| CHICAGO H., Feb 2S.-Ofcials of
the Burlington railroad have started
a campaign against intoxicants with
a view to eradicating their use by the
| employees OF every department, not
only on duty, but also while off duty.
| Heretofore the stringent rule
| against the use of liquor while on duty
has only been enforced rigidly against
those who had anything to do with
the operation of hhins. Hereafter the
rule will be enforced against the EN-.
ployes of all departments, including
even the track, bridge and building
departments. Members of these de.
partments upon receiving their new
books of rules We're surprised to read
the following rule:
The use of intoMcants by employees
while on duty is prohibited Their
habitual use or the frequenting of
places where they are sold is sufficient
cause for dismissal"
Employees of these departments
work great deal in the cold and snf
fer continual exposure, and many OF
them have been in the habit of taking
a drink as means of protection
against the cold or rain. This, the
off cials believe, is unnecessary, and
should cease. The officials think that
as track. and bridge builders are com
PEELED to know the signals and use
them in protecting themselves and
trains while working it is essential
that they should let liquor alone as II
is for the engineers to have clear
heads.
