Vice President of Rock Island Goes
TO Rescue Of Former Empioye
Put on the Black List

When James z. German began his
career he promised himself that bus
mess was not TO get all his time Civ
ing was 10 be as much a part OF his
life as making.
Since that time things have gone
well with him. and high honors have
come his way. AS the first vice pres
ident OF the Rock Island railroad, an
S.0oO-mile system employing thOus-
ands OF men. Mr.. German has had
many opportunities 20 put his theories
into practice.
Three years ago n subordinate rail
road employee on the Nevada division
OF the system trespassed against the
cardinal rule in railroading. The re-
port OF drinking on duty fell into the
hands OF a superior officer. and the
offender was dismissed peremptorily.
He sought employment elsewhere, but
he was unable 10 show satisfactory
service papers from the Rock Island.
and no other railroad would take him
without them.
Things went from bad 20 worse and
he turned 20 drink with abandon.
was brought TO its senses. He was
looking into the cold barrel OF a re-
volver. representing the law. The
next thing he realized he was lodged
In the state pcnitentiary 20 serve a
long sentence for attempted bank
robbery.
The Rock Island railroad Is 20
blame for my condition. he wrote.
They fred me and fixed me so that
I could not get another job with any
other line. I went 20 drinking and
from drinking 20 jail. I've not had a
square deal"
Vice President German took the
mans side and Immediately started
an investigation which ended with i
conference with the governor OF Ne
vada on behalf OF the former employc.
Tho governor agreed 10 grant the par
don. hut there was the surety COM
pauy that had $500 bond claim on
the bank robber.
1t would never do 20 let man off
so easy" they said. He Is a robbeT
and we must make IN example Of him
or our business will suffer"
Again Vice President German came
20 the fore. This time with an offer
10 pay one-half OF the claim person
ally. so as 20 get the man out in the
world 10 make his start over again.
The compromise was accepted. and
the pardon was granted. Last Mon
day morning the freed man went to
work az a position in 81. Louis, secur-
ed for him by Mr.. German.
Further details were refused at the
Rock Island Offices in Chicago in the
absence OF Mr.. German. who is in
York.
