ployes were specifically ordered by Di-
rector General McAdoo today to show
courtesy in dealings with the public
and to cease excusing train delays and

Sam is running the railroads now"
!" The pu5lic be damned policy win
not be tolerated on the road under

tor generals order addressed to ..all
employees in the railroad service Of
the United States"
The order follows:
J Complaints have reached me from
time to time that employees are no,
treating the public with as much
courtesy under government control OF
railroads as under private control. l
DO not know how much courtesy was
accorded the public under private con-
troll and slase no basis for accurate
comparison. hope. however, that the
reports Of discourtesy under govern
ment administration OF the railroads
are incorrect or that n least they are
confined to relatively feY cases. What
Ever may be the merin Of these. con-i
plaints they draw attention to q ques-
ton which is Of the utmost Importance
in the management Of the roads.
a{ Urges Courtssy to Public.
For many years it was popularly
believed that the public be damned
policy was the policy Of the railroads
under private control. Such q policy
Is indefensibie. 1t would be particu-
larly indefensible under public con-
troll when railroad employees are the
direct servants OF the public.
The pubic be damned policy will
! in no case be tolerated on the rail-
roads under government control. Every
empAoye Of the roads should take pride
in serving The, public courteously.
Courtesy costs nothing and when dis
pensed 1t makes friends Of the public
and adds to the self respect of the
employe,
My attention has been called to the
TACT that employees have sometimes Of
fered as an excuse for their own
shortcomings or for other difficulties

ming the railroads now OF These ar.

Nothinga gould be more reprehen-
ssbte that Statements OF this charac-
ter and nothing could be more hurtful
to the success Of the railroad admin
istratioY or to the welfare Of the rail-
road employees themselves. No doubt
those who have made them have done
so thoughtlessly in most instances, but
the harm Is j.st as great if a thing of
this kind is done thoughtlessly as if
1t is done deliberately.
There are many people who far
partisan or selfish purposes wish gov
ernment operation OF the railroads to

The Nordhav was sent down at noon

Divergent Policies.
On the question of volunteer enlist
ments, which some committee members
said should be discontinued for the
navy And mafine corps as well as the
army if the new bill is passed, Mr..
Baker said the navy opposes prohibit
ing volunteer enlistments >andA he had
Withheld an expression of opinion. He
Pointed out, however. that the bill
would place every man between IS and
10 under control Of the war department
and that 1t would be possible for him
and Secretary Daniels to work out a
program to supply men for the fighting
branch and also ,for the merchant ship
service of the navy.
Representative Caldwell, of New
York. suggested that the army provide
for enlistment OF women to do nom
combatant, work. as is done by the
navy. and Mr.. Baker said so far the
army uses for such service men draft
ed and not qualified for military duty.
Regarding supplanting young officers

capable Of military duty are being re-
lieved as far, = possible. He added

wounded by the polio :. Twenty Do
licemen were injured
Toxic is now occuJ : by heavy de-
tachments of police :. infantry. The
newspapers are for zen to publish
news of any Kind relative to the rice
riots.
Troops have been called out in
nearly every important city in Japan.
Even the naval station at Maizuru is
affected by the unrest. Two thousand
workmen there are rioting in conjunc-
tion with the populace.

aggregate 10000 persons rioted. At

At Kobe the soldiers and police also
We're Obliged to use sajbers and bayo-
nets against the rioters.
The newspaper comment here seems
to indicate that the food riots thru
out the country are an expression Of
growing social unrest among the peo-
pie and to reflect the belief that the
empire Is advancing toward social
crisis. The riots are involving alike
the poor and the middle classes, who
feel inpelled to protest against eco
nomic conditions.
1t Is remarked that the uprisings
are often anti-capitalistic in nature,
the mobs attacking and destroying the
property OF the wealthy and voicins
anger at evidences of luxury Geisha
girls have been stoned as they were
driven thru the streets In automobiles
and the houses Of the rich have been
assailed.
While the war has created million
aires and increased the luxuries of the
rich. 1t has also increased the misery
OF the poor because OF insufficient
wages being paid. Factory hands, es-
pecially, are fomented by the ring
leaders Of the riots, which are the
first of the kind TO occur since Japan
was opened to, western civilization.
