Why Order Was Issued.
Everyone understands why the order

going to make the railroad admins
tration huge political army for the
winning of the presidential campaign
in 1920, and he wants to discredit that
story. AT the same time he is under
stood to be most anxious that the po-
litical power used in the past and still
secretly used by large numbers of
railroad officials, in behalf of cor
porate interests, and against public
ownership or operation of the rail
roads, shall be destroyed.
All the trade union leaders agree
with him on these points. They point
out, however, that by denying to all
railroad employees, as well as to rail-
road lawyers and officials. the right to
engage in politics, he is simply wiping
out the biggest political support of
public ownership. while he does not

ny LAURENCE TODD
Especial Representative The Denver Labor
Bulletin.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Today's
biggest piece of news, in the labor
world. is the order issued by Director
General McAdoo to all officers and
employees in the railroad service of
the United States, that they ARE re-
moved from further active participa-
tion in politics. Two million men are
notified that henceforth they are
neither to run for office-cxcept for
local school or park boards-or to
manage the campaigns of others. nor
take part in any political convention,
nor belong to any political commit
tee, or solicit or receive funds, or con-
tribute to funds collected by anyone
in the railroad service. for any politi-
cal purpoSe.
The order deprives the 1000, 900
railroad workers. as well as the rail
road lawyers, of these particular po-
litical rights Of ordinary citizens, be-
cause. in the words Of the director
general, "Under government control
there is no inducement to officers and
employees to engage in politics. On the
contrary. they owe high duty to
the public scrupulously to abstain
thcrefrom." And also "This policy is
intended to secure to all of them (offi-
GERS, attorneys and employes) free
dom of action in the exercise of their
individual rights, and, ut the same
time, to prevent any form of hurtful
or pernicious political activity"
Same ms Civil Service Act.
The same rule, substantially, was
imposed by the civil service act. many

years ago, upon all persons in the fed
eral civil service. At that time the
country had been scandalized by the
manner in which the political gangs
in Philadelphia had forced the gov
ernment employees to contribute regu-
larly to the Republican campaign
fund, collected in government build
ings by government employees. There
were in the entire country only 200,-
600 to 100000 persons in the federal
civil service, and public opinion was
in hearty sympathy with the act of
Congress which denied to this small
body of public employees the right to
take part in organized politics. or to
run for political office.
As the number of civil servants has
increased. however, the question of
safeguarding the political rights of
these men and women has come up
again. The taking of the railroads by
the government ms war measure was
the signal for new debate on the mat
ter, and it was generally felt that no
administration would attempt to put
the railroad employees under civil serv-
ice restrictions; on the contrary, the
employees themselves were confident,
and the public seemed to understand,
that the 100000 men in railroad
work would be active in politics both
for their own interests as wage earn
ers and for the cause of permanent
public ownership of the railroads.
What Director McAdoo Says.
"The approaching federal and state
elections" the director general says,
Including Nthe primary contests con-
nected herewith, make it both timely
and necessary that the attitude of
