Abstinence and Efficiency
All employers of men should ex-
tend the discrimination principle in
accepting employees. The great rail-
roads have come practically to prohibit
tion in their employment-to demand
ing total abstinence of their men. The
mine operator should follow rapidly;
the manufacturer, the merchants, the
professions, the farmer. 1t is per-
fectly legitimate in a private contract
or agreement for an employer to de-
mand that an employee so long as he
remains such shall not cloud his judg-
ment or lower his efficiency by alco-
holic druggiDg.
