signed or unsigned, in favor OF or
against any political party candidate
faction or measure During recent po-
lltical campaigns members of the rail-
road brotherhOods have been very &C
tive In doing most Of the things which
are prohibited by this rule.
"Director-General McAdOo is merely
trying to give effect on the. railways to
the spirit of the United States Civil Ser
vice rules. He is not trying to apply
them TO the letter. But doubtless II
government ownership and operation OF
railways should be adopted as a perma-
nent policy, the Civil Service rules
would be applied literally, and in their
entirety to officers and employees Of the
railways. Whether all the 100000 vot-
ers employed upon the railroads could
be forced TO obey them in a momen-
tous question. IL has been found easy
to get even the 100000 government en-
ployes now subject to the rules to obey
them.
1T need hardly be said that strict
ond prolonged enforcement OF rules pro-
hlbiting railway employees from par
tlcipatng Ia politics would ultimately
result in the destruction Of the railway
brotherhoods as effective organizations
This the heads OF the brotherhoods clear
ly forsee, and undoubtedly 1t is this
which is causing them to make such
vigorous and persistent protests. On
the other hand, If under government
operation employees should be allowed
TO participate in politics without re-
strlction, they probably could, through
their organizations, secure a power
which would enable them to dictate
tehir organizations, secure a power
which would enable them to dictate to
both Of the great political parties and
to the government itself.
IF the present Railroad Admlnistra-
ton, with its autocratlc authority, can
not keep railway employees out az poll
tics In time OF war, no future Railroad
Administration, possessing less power
and exercising II in time Of peace,
could possibly do so. The test of
strength now being made by the direc-
tor-general and the railway brother
hoods is one of national importance
and should be a subject Of national in
terest."
