READING FLAGS
DRAM DRINKERS
New Rule Says Employees
Must Not Drink on or
Off Duty

The Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company has issued an order
broad in its scope and of far reaching
effect i'm that the company says: No
man in the service, be he yard man,
conductor, engineer, brakeman, or
gateman shall hereafter indulge in the
pleasure Of drink of intoxicating
liquor whether on or Off duty.
Spoilers for the company have been
in Coatesville for some days. They
have made their reports TO the com
pany officials with the result that one
of the employees of the Coatesville
yard has been suspended for ten
days.
The men are very indignant over
the presumption of the railroad COM
pany in taking upon themselves to
look after their actions while of
duty They think nothing of the
order for the abolition of the practice
of drinking while on duty, but dc
take exceptions TO the order where
I'm they believe their right of freedom
is being encrOached upon.
The most interesting thing about
the order is that the men are at d
loss to know who are the spoilers
for the company.
