Money talks" is a popular prov
erb, and what il says sometimes
sheds light on moral issues; at least,
when the business world condemns a
thing as wrong for business reasons,
there is a certain class of minds
thereby made more open to accept
the teaching Of moralists who con-
. denim It for ethical reasons.
A recent order of the authorities
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railway forbidding liquor
drinking and card-playing by the OPP
eratives Of that corporation is very
interesting and instructive in the
light of the foregoing observations.
AS is well known, there was
horrible wreck on this line at Corn
ing, n. Y. some days ago, and as the
result of an investigation of that
death-dealing wreck the new order
was issued barring drink and cards
and threatening with dismissal en-
ployes who indulge in the dissipa-
tions of the saloon and the card
table.
Commenting upon the new order
the New York Herald prints an edi-
torial, under the caption "A Railroad
Learns a Costly Lesson" in which
the editor says:
THE Delaware. Lackawanna
and Western railroad has deter
mined to take no more chances
with intoxicated men in the OPP
Grafton Of it's trains. The dis
covery that the death-dealing
wreck at Corning, N. Y, on July
was due to the intoxication of
a~o-fr.a Hrfxyar convinced
the management that the use of
intoxicants by employees connect
ed with the movement of trains
at any time is a bad thing, and
the like of the Corning wreck is
not to be repeated If the pro-
mitigation of rules will prevent
it.
1.-THE use of intoxicants by
employees while on duty is pro-
hibited' is a general rule among
railroads, but the Lackawanna
amends this as follows: The use
Of intoxicants while on or off
duty, or the visiting of saloons
or places where liquor is sold,
incapacitates men from railroad
service and is absolutely prohib-
tied Not only that, but the men
must avoid other designations
while off duty, such as card play
ing.
such rules may be considered
drastic, but hardly too much so
for the government of men who
have the lives of thousands of
persons in their hands. More
of the recent railroad disasters
have been due to shortcomings
of employees than to the excess
i've speed of trains. But the i'm
portance of holding trains to a
reasonable speed should not be
lost sight Of"
This seems to be pretty drastic
prohibition by a railway corporation,
and the question naturally arises, If
