NJ 'AD00 URGES
EMPLOYEES TO
BE COURTEOUS

w. C. McAdoo, director general OF
railroads, has issued the following or
der to all employees in railroad ser
vice: .
Complaints have reached me from
time to time that employees are not
treating the public with as much con
sideratiOn and-cOurtesy under govern
ment control of the railroads as un
der private control | do not know
how much courtesy was accorded the
public under private control, and
have no basis. therefore, for accurate
comparison hope, however. that
the reports of discourtesy under gov
ernment administration of the rail
roads are incorrect, or that they are
at least confined to a relatively few
cases. Whatever may be the merits
of these complaints, thew draw atten
ton to question which is of the ut
most Importance in the management,
of the railroads.
For many years it was popularity be-
lieved that "the public be damned
policy was the policy of the railroads
under private control. Such policy
is indefensible either under private
control or government control. 1t
would be particularly indefensible un
der public control when railroad EN-.
ployees are the direct servants Of the
public. "The public be damned pol
icy will in no circumstances be tol'
Grated on the railroads under govern
ment control. Every employee of the
railroad should take pride in serving
the public courteously and efficiently
Courtesy costs nothing and when it
is dispensed. it makes friends of the
public and adds to the self-respect OF
the employee.
My attention has also been called to
the fact that employees have some
times offered as an excuse for their
own shortcomings. as justifica'
ton for delayed trains or other diff
culties the statement that Uncle Sam
is running the railroads now" or
'These are McAdoo's ORDERS etc.
Nothing could be more reprehensfble
than statements of this character, and
nothing could be more hurtful to the
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-08-19

success of the railroad administra-
tion or to the welfare OF railroad en-
ployees themselves. No doubt, those
who have made them have done SO
thoughtlessly in most instances, but
the harm is just as great if thing
of this sort is done thougMlessly as if
it is>done deliberately.
There are many people who for par
tisan or selfish purposes wish govern
ment operation of the railroads to be
failure. Every employee who Is dis
courteous to the public or makes ex-
cuses or statements of the kind |
have described, is helping these parti-
san or selfish interests to discredit
government control OF railroads.
Recently the wages Of railroad en-
ployees were largely increased, in
volving an addition to railroad oper-
ating expenses of more than -$475 5,000,-
900 per annum. In order to meet this
increase, the public has been callei
on to pay largely increased passenger
and freight rates. The people have
accepted this new burden cheerfully
and patriotically The least that every
employee can do in return is to serve
the public courteously, faithfully and
efficiently.
A great responsibility and duty
rest upon the railroad employees of
the United States. Upon their loyal
ty, efficiency and patriotism depends
in large part Americas success and
the overthrow of the kaiser and all
that he represents. Let us not fail to
measure up to our duty, and to the
lust demand of the public that rail-
road service shall not only be eff
cient. but that it shall always be cour-
teously administered. .,, -.

SHIP SECRECY
Admiral Says Newspapers
Greatly Aid Troop Trans

BY HAROLD E. BECHTOL.
European Manager of the Newspaper
Enterprise Association.

London, Eng, Aug 19.--High praise
of the American newspapers for their
loyal observance Of secrecy in connec-
tiOn with ship movements was voicec
few days ago by high officer in
the admiralty y.
This admiral added that the news
papers had greatly contributed to the
success which has marked the trans
port Of more than million American
troops to Europe, and that they were
to be particularly commended because
in American their censorship was self
imposed. ~. f..
No one in the admiralty would
have thought it possible, he said, il
it had been suggested Is months ago
that before long ships-groups of
ships-would be slipping out of Amer
ican ports regularly and frequently,
without mention in any of the Amerl'
con papers. | 4
This, he added, was just one ex.
ample of the spirit of the American
newspapers which had made possible
in large part the whole-souled Ameri-
can participation in the war for free
