employees
of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road Company Are to Pub
lish a Newspaper.

The employees of the b. & o. rail-
road have decided to publish a week
ly paper. The paper is to be fina1c-
ed and managed entirely by the en-
ployes, mostly from the different
freight offices along the various diyi-
sions, and its columns will be open
to all employees of the company to
discuss any or all questions pertain
Ing to railroads and the Detterment
OF railroads.
The new paper is to be printed in
Baltimore, Md, the headquarters of
the road, and the management of the
road is to be asked to lend support to
the move. Already there has been
one issue printed and distributed. but
this was only an experiment, and the
experiment seems to have met with
popular favor among the railroaders
all along the line. The proper steps
Will be taken Immediately to put the
paper on a substantial basis and print
weekly editions.
