RAILWAY.
81 regret that | have no time To
formulate reply to your very coart-
eous letter of the 9Th instant relative
to the temperance issue
81 believe every railroad man in
the country, and necessarily every
managing officer, is not merely an
advocate of temperance, but of total
abstinence, anil there is no rule
more stringently enforced ON the
Rock Island system than the rule
relating to the use OF intoxicants.

ILLINOIS Central RAILROAD COM
PANY.
81 beg to advise you that this
company's general code of rules con
tains the following rule:
NO person addicted to the use
of intoxicating drinks, or who Is
vicious, profane, or uncivil in his
department, shall be employed or
continued in the service of this com
pany'
"In addition to this, the follow.
rules are included in the rules gov
erning the employees in our transpor-
tation department:
" The use of intoxicants or opi-
ates by employees while on duty Is
prohibited. Their habitual use or
the frcquenting of places where they
are sold is sufficient cause for dis.
missal.'
." The use of tobacco by employees
while on duty in or about passenger
stations or on passenger cars is pro
hibited.'
at is the policy of this company
to encourage in every possible way
temperate habits on the part of its
employees. There is probably no
other line of work where it is SO
very important that employees should
refrain from the use of intoxicating
liquors as the railroad business, on
account of the fact that the safety
of the travelling public depends, to
such large extent, upon the sobrety
and carefulness of employes-par.
ticularly those connected with the
handling of trains.
"Wishing you the utmost success
In your good work,
