Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Issues
General Order AS to Mill

CANNOT PAY MEN ON DUT1
Action as to Unemployment OF Sol
dicrs on Their Return From War
in Sharp Contrast With Policy OF
Other Railway Lines.

In sharp contrast with the action OF
the leading railroads of the United
states. the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way Company yesterday adopted Il
policy toward It's employees entering
the military service of the country
that II cannot consistently guarantee"
their former positions at the conclusion
OF their military duty and cannot rem-
bursc them for the time lost while
in such service. This policy. pro-
mulEatcd by General Manager j. Paul
stevens after the matter had been
brought to his attention several times.
was announced late yesterday after
noon to the department heads In tho
general offices.
The notice was sent to these officials
over the signature of General Manager
Stevens, and Is as follows:
The question has been brought up
several times recently as to the att!-
tude the company will take with re-
spcct To it's employees entering milf
tary service.
CANNOT GUARANTE
FORMER POSITIONS
For your information. the company
does not feel that II could consistently
guarantee to give to it's employees their
former positions on their return to
duty. nor can we reimburse them for
the time lost: but. so far as possible.
Will be glad to offer them tho best
available positions that they are com
pctent TO Ill., and will cndcavor to
return as many of them to service as
may desire unemployment"
Many of the larger railroads of the
country have already adopted policy
of fostering military service among
those employees who can be spared
for such duty. and have agreed TO
reimburse them for tho difference be-
tween the pay they receive in the SER
vice OF the United States government
and the salary they now draw from
the railroad company.
In addition, the railroads have an
nounccd that they will. so far as prac-
ticable, I'll the temporary vacancies
with women. and that tho wives and
daughters Of railroad men Will be given
preference in filling these positions
The Norfolk and Western Railway
Company was one OF the first systems
in this section OF the country to adopt
such policy. which has been an
nounccd by many of the railroad COM

Plead for Children

There are ,25O,O00 children d.
rectly dependent upon the Relief
Commission in Belgium, now facing
slow starvation, says the Literary
Digest. The meagre rations that
barely suffice for adults have proved
insufficient for growing children
and consist of "a hunk Of bread
and bowl of soup" each day.
The extra rations needed consist
of biscuit made of lard or fat and
a cup of cocoa. That is all, but it
is enough to check the diseases that
have begun to develop with appall-
ing rapidity among these underfed
children. This extra ration is not
much but it represents the differ
ence between life and slow starva-
ton. The call for aid comes from
the Belgian Relief commission, the
Pope and American physicians who
have made the examinations of
these children anc, know their
needs. One dollar a month will

Five days after the publicati on

may kill on sight any unmuzzled
dogs running at large. A muzzle
is a continuance to prevent biting
