government. for which the appropria-
ton this year Is approximately 81 ,000,-

about stations and on the property of
cigarette, the order against it is almost
as severe as that against whisky
Excerpts From New Rules.
The revolution which is being effect
ed in these respects is shown in the
new rule books which many of the
managers of the Chicago roads have
just issued. Without single eXcep.
ton these books contain the following
or rules which are similarly framed:
The use of intoxicants by employees
while on duty is prohibited. Their
places where they are sold, is sufficient
cause for dismissal
The use of tobacco by employees
when on duty in and about passenger
stations or on passenger cars is pro-
hibited.'
Rules are Severe.
While the rules are now practically
the same on all railroads, some are
more severe than others in their en-
forcement. Not all the railroads as
sumo to say whether an operating en-
ploye may drink when off duty, while
henceforth not a few, the Rock Is
land, for example, will discharge men
for frequenting saloons whether on
or off duty
In the old days of railroading the
engineer, fireman or trainman who
could carouse the most and report for
duty was considered by his fellows
as the best man on that line, and was
r,n cd, Xvi a.
the traffic of the country grew amaz-
ingly, however, and the public demand
came for faster time and better SER
vice, the train crews which were seen
most frequently in saloons were cred
tied with the greatest number OF
wrecks and general managers began
to do some thinking.
IntoXication was at first prohibited
by one or two roads with ill success,
the men insisting that their morals
had nothing to do with the railroad
service, and the rule. against the use
of liquor became dead letter. BY
concerted action through the General
Managers Association OF Chicago the
lines have been drawn tighter until
the old rule has practically become
new rule through it's general anG
rigid observance.
The Rock Island and the Alton have
now followed the example of the Wa
bash in making rule prohibiting the
use of intoxicating liquors or cigar
cites by their employees. 1t is under
stood that all the roads centering in
Chicago propose to adopt the same
rule. The rule has been enforced fol
several years as to trainmen, but has
now been extended to apply to al
| employees.

A resolution requesting President
Roosevelt to order the dismissal from
the federal service of w. A. Miller,
assistant superintendent of the gov
eminent printing Office, is to be for
mulated and forwarded direct to the
President by a committee appointed
last evening at a meeting held in Ia

decided to hold a Labor day celebra-
ton next year, the legislative commit
tee was increasud in numbers and ar
rangements made for the rental of adj
ditiohal space for increasing the size
of Labor hall.
The attendance at the meeting last
evening was good, nearly all the
crafts of the city being represented.
The session was busy one and among
the matters up for discussion were a
number of important ones.
A committee composed Of w. A.
Whitney. and George Barnum with J..
f. Byrne as chairman was appointed
to draft and forward resolution to
President Roosevelt asking for the
dismissal from the federal service of
w. A. Miller, assistant superintend-
ent of the government printing Office,
who was recently reinstated into the
government service after his dismis-
sal by Public Printer Palmer at the
request of the bookbinders' union.
Respectful in Tone.
The committee was instructed tc
draft a resolution moderate and re-

missal of Miller upon the grounds that
as foreman he is abusive to his men
that his governing tactics are bruta
and unfit him for the position of super

against organized labor causes him tt
be unjust and unfair and that he con

of the flour mills hands in the northwest
acted as weakening influence. Minneap-

week. Price Current reported favorable
