Congressman Mann spoke a patriot. He was

not jockeying for partisan advantage within the

at least He spoke as a plain American citizen, in

Idlers AS National Liabilities.

With the nation demanding from all its people the
last ounce energy for the prosecution of the

munity says T ]. Foley, vice president of the Hi
nois Central railroads. Mr.. Foley has made per
investigation of the situation and has sent out
circular letter to all Illinois Central agents, ask
ing for an investigation and report for each
munity.
His company, Mr.. Foley says, needs more
men than it can get. its supply from towns
along the lines, but nevertheless crowds of idle
men can be found at almost every station every time
a train comes in. The farms and workshops also
need men, but they stand around with their hands in
their pockets. Says Mr. Foley:
The one job which we have on hand at pres
ent is winning the great and it follows
that every person who is not at work, is liza
bfty instead of an asset to his country, and
should be held up to I firmly believe
that a strong public sentiment against iders
in each community would make it so
Portable for the idlers that they would be
driven to work. Some of them would drift into
agriculture, others into manufacturing indus
tries and the railroads would get their share.
This is a free country but it will remain
free unless every person exerts himself at
this time to the very limit of his capacity
You should direct the attention of local
authorities and leading citizens to the idlers
around the depots and do what you can in every
proper way to arouse public sentiment against
idlers.
If there ever was a time when every per-
son, regardless of age, color station in
life should be at work, it is Rest and
leisure should be deferred until after the war
has been won. until after individual freedom
has been enthroned and made for all
time. At present, part of the business of
every community should be to see that every s
body is at work We need labor on the rail-
road and need it badly. The problem will be
solved when the idlers are driven to work
