A New Anti-Drink Crusade.

II is worthy of note that one OF the
most effective methods OF teaching the
value of temperance is presented in the
attitude which many business, indus
trial and transportation concerns are
assuming with regard to persons who
indulge in liquor drinking. Several
of the big railroad companies require
employees to abstain from the use OF
intoxicants while on duty, and some go
so far as TO exact similar pledge
whether the man is at work or not.
Any violation of the rule is understood
10 be legitimate cause for instant dis
missal from service. The reason un-
derlying such n policy is readily ap.
pretended. Too much is involved in
the way of risk TO lives and property
TO permit Of latitude of conduct that
would increase the danger. Especially
in these days when every manner Of
device is used and the human factor in
the problem must show especial alert
ness is it necessary to have clear heads
and minds free from the paralyzing ef-
fects of strong drink.
Such rules and regulations in them
selves furnish admirable temperance
lessons, and the result Is seen in the
inoransing snhriaty among tho si"esas
of employees more or less directly con-
cerned. The probability is that there
will be further and still more salutary
progress in the same direction. When
men realize more fully how much their
employment, advancement and pros
perity depend upon freedom from al
coholic indulgence a powerful lever OF
moral suasion will be put into opera
ton. There is room for this sort OF
reform. An object lesson as TO the in
convenience and loss attending exces-
sive drinking is furnished from Con-
nellsville, Penn, where large iron
and steel making plant has shut down
because the managers could not find
enough sober men TO run the works
and would not incur the peril insepara-
BILE from employing drunken ones.
Until Connelsville can supply men
who will forswear rum, in sufficient
number TO keep the mills going, that
community will be deprived of one Of
The chief sources of local prosperity.
Other manufacturing establishments,
embarrassed aud hampered beyond the
point Of endurance by the bibulous
habits Of workers. are meditating sim
liar action, aud il is quite possible that
within short time y crusade OF large
proportions will be carried on against
the drink evil in this particular form.
There can be no valid complaint against
such procedure. The allegation that
the cxactions enforced are intcrferences
with personal liberty has no weight.
The employer does not seek TO inter.
fere with anyone's liberty. A man is
not compelled TO enter his employ.
But the employer has perfect right
