Recently the wages of railroad

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
MUST BE COURTEOUS
Public be Damned" Policy
not to be Tolerated

Director General McAdoo gives
to railroad employees some definite
orders concerning their treatment
of the public in the following:
To all employees in the railroad
service of the United States:
Complaints have reached me
from time to time that employees
are not treating the public with as
much consideration and courtesy
under Government control of the
railroads as under private control.
l do not know how much courtesy
was accorded the public under
private control, and | have no
basis, therefore, for accurate COM
parison. 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, they
draw attention to a question which
is of the utmost Importance in the
management of the railroads.
For many years it was popuiarly
believed that "the public be
damned" policy was the policy of
the railroads under private control.
Such a policy is indefensible either
under private control or Govern
ment control. 1t would be partic-
ularly indefensible under public
control when railroad employees
are the direct servants of the pub
lie. "The public be damned policy
will in no circumstances be tolerat-
ed 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 call
ed to the fact that employees have
sometimes offered as an excuse for
their own shortcomings, or as a
justification for delayed trains or
other difficulties the statement
that Uncle Sam is running the
railroad now" or "These are Nc
Adoo's ORDERS" etc. Nothing could
be more reprehensible than state
ments of this character, and moth
ing could be more furtrul to the
success Of the Railroad Admins
tration or to the welfare of rail-
road employees 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
thoughtlessly as if it is done de-
liberately.
There are many people who for
partisan or selfish purposes wish
Government operation of the rail
roads to be a failure. Every EN-.
ployee who is discourteous to the
public or makes excuses or state.
