Growth of Temperance Among
Railroad Employees


The following article was written by Mr.. Rice
request and, coming from in such high authoritative
position is deserving of the careful reading-The
Editors.
The temperance movement among railway
p1oyees especially concern engine men, tranmen,
switchmen train dspatchefs operators and others in
timatey connected with the movement of trains. The
is attributable to the moral uplift of the
these departments, produced by several collateral
conditions.
Temperance and sobriety are recognized by the
prerequisites safety. They are no longer
the friends of saloons. The enforcement from the
of the individual man.
Public opinion has had a salutary effect. The in
creased interest and supervision displayed by the i'm
mediate operating officers and the example, encourage
and friendly advice extended has also had its
effect.
most powerful influence has sprung from the
brotherly of the brotherhoods with which the
affiliated the chiefs of which jealous advocates
of temperance. Men who not amenabe to the
rules of temperance are ba1shed from membership in
the brotherhoods
The above the principal causes for the growth
of temperance among employees and should be a
source of satisfaction to the entire public.
Every good cear-headed engineer likes to know
for his safety that each train which he meets dur
ing his is also hauled by another clear headed
gineer he also likes to know that he will be properly
protected against trains which he is following, by
clear-headed conductors Cear-headed conductors
also like know that they followed by clearhead
ed engineers who will respond properly to their sig
mails.
1t is generally understood that clear heads
not proceed from saloons.
All train service employees and employees of the
dispatching departments establishing have
established feeling of confidence in the sobriey Of
each other and take mutual interest in preserving
habits of temperance among all their fellows.
Cear-headed and intelligent alertness and eff
cheney the result among train service people and
is reflected among all classes of employees, unless it
be among shifting class of day 1aborers who
permanently identified with the railroads.
