"Shop chnirmen have admitted that

Through methods which savored Of

Officers and Employees
Alike Ordered to Abstain
From Activity
Removal Is Penalty
'SSet High Standard of Public
Duty" Says Director
General

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Director-
Genral McAdoo to-day ordered all rail-
road men, officials and employees alike,
to keep out of politics.
Coming state and Federal elections
as we'll as the primary contests, the Di-
rector-General announced in a formal
statement to all railroad men, make it
imperative that the conduct of all
should be so scrupulously guarded that
there can be no charge direct or in
direct of railroad influence.
Pointing out that while railroads
were under private management it was
common report that their participation
in politics was widespread, Mr.. McAdoo
declares that under government con-
troll there are no longer private inter-
ests to serve and that the incentive to
political activity no longer exists.
Under government CONTROL" says
ment to officers and employees to en-
gage in politics. On the contrary, they
owe high duty to the public scrupu-
lousy to abstain therefrom."
AS a definite policy of the railroad
Administration, Mr.. McAdoo announced
that no railroad officer, attorney or en-
ployes may do any Of the following
things:
Be an officer or member Of any
political committee or organization
that solicits funds for political pur-
poses.
Be a delegate, chairman or other
officer in any political convention.
Solicit or receive funds for any po-
litical purpose or contribute to any
political fund collected by an official
or employe of any railroad or any
official or employee of the United
States or of any state.
Assume the conduct Of any polit-
ical campaign.
Attempt to coerce or intimidate
another officer or employe in his vote.

missal.)
Must Quit Politics or Roads
Become a candidate for any poIit-
ical Office Those who desire to run
for Office or engage in politics must
Immediately sever their connection
with the United States railroad SER
vice.
Membership on a local school or
park board will not be construed as
q political Office.
Calling on all railroad men to carry
out the spirit of the policy announced,
the Director General says:
"Let US demonstrate to the American
people that under Federal control rail-
road officers, attorneys and employees
cannot be made part of any political
machine nor be used for any organized
partisan or selfish purpose. Let US set
such high standard of public duty
and service that it will be worthy OF
general emulation.''

to the report. Sickness, worry. per-
