M'ADOO ORDERS
R. R. COURTESY
Tells Employees Not to Blame
Errors on Uncle Sans 0p-
GRAFTON of Roads.

BY Associated Press.
WARRINGTON. Aug. 1s;-Railroad
employees were specifically ordered by
Director General McAdoo today 70
show courtesy in dealings with the
public and TO cease excusing train de-
lays and other errors with the plea
that Uncle Sam" is running the rail-
roads now"
The public be damned policy viii
In no circumstances be tolerated on
the railroads under government con-
troll" said the director generals order
addressed to ''all employees In the rail-
road service Of the United States"
The order says:
Complaints have reached me from
time TO time that employees are not
treating the public with as much oon-
eideration and courtesy under govern
ment control Of tho railroad as under
private control. DO not know how
much courtesy was accorded 70 the
public under private control and
have no basis therefore for accurate
comparison. ! hope. however that re-
ports OF discourtesy under the govern
ment administration OF the railroad
are incorrect OF that they are at least
confined 70 a relatively few oases.
Whatever may be the merits OF these
complaints they draw attention to a
question which Is OF the utmost I'M
portance in the Management OF the
railroads.
FOR msny years IL was populariy
believed that the public be damned
policy was the policy OF the railroads
under private control. Such a policy
Is indefensible either under prtvats
control or government control.
MY attention has also been called
to the fact that employees have some
times offered an excuse for their own
shortcomings or as q justification for
delayed trains or other difficulties the
statement that Uncle Sam is running
the railroad now or these are Nc
Adoo's orders.' OF cstera- Nothing
OF the railroad administration or 70
the welfare OF railroad employees them
selves.
These are many people who for
partisan or selfish purposes wish gov
ernment operations of the railroads 70
be a failure. Every enpioye who is
discourteous 10 the public or makes
excuses or statements OF the kind
have described Is helping these par
tisans or selfish interests 20 discrsdit
control Of railroads.
Recently the wages OF reAlroad en-
ployes were largely increased. invoiv-
ing an addition 70 railroad operating
expenses Of more than 100000
per annum. In order 70 meet this In
crease the public has been called upon
to pay largely increased passenger and
freight rates. The people have ac-

The least that every en-
pioye can DO IN return A 70 serve the
public eourtsously. faithfully and en-

schools. II will always be looked to
to supply technically trained officers Of
the highest attainments for the navy.
Perhaps another, or two or three more
schools like IL, will be needed. But
the system by which its pupils and
consequently the commissioned of1l-
GERS OF the navy are selected Is un-
satisfactory. Appointments to Annap-
oils now go by favor, broadly speak
ing. In some cases the midshipmen
are nominated after competitive ex-
animation; recently the Secretary Of
the Navy has obtained authority TO
name a few promising men from the
enlisted personnel; but the majority
Of the midshipmen are named by Sen
ators and Representatives In Congress,
for social or political or family con-
sideratlons. The entrance examinations
tnd the high scholastic standard Of the
Academy keep undesirables out, but
under present conditions II holds lit
tie promise 10 the enlisted man.
The commissioned officer goes into
the navy through Annapolis; the en-
listed man has scant hope OF obtaining
a commission.
The system is wrong. The channels
OF promotion from the newest blue
jacket to the oldest flag officer should
be open and unobstructcd. Every
young man who puts on the navy uni
form should know that by diligence.

routine Of life on board ship should
be adopted to the encouragement Of
study. The principles Of intensive edu-
cation which have been found so prac-
tical in training soldiers and marines
for commissions should be applied in
schools for enlisted men in the navy.
Young men should be urged to join
the navy with the promise that II they
prove mentally and morally and physi-
cally ft to wear epaulets they shall
get the epaulets as soon as they de-
serve them, and that the nation will
provide the means TO enable them
