"HUMANIZE SCIENCE OF RAILROADING
AND NEGATIVE THE IDEA OF NO SOUL
Win the War by Efficiency and Fair Treatment Employees
Patrons With Applied Sound Business Policy in
Operation Is the Program of Director
General of Railroads McAdoo.

In comprehensive statement, made
public this week, Director General Nc
Adoo declared the railroad admins
tration's aims in order of Importance
are to win the war by moving troops
and war materials promptly, to give
efficient service to the public, to pro-
mote sympathy and understanding be-
tween the railroad managements, en-
ployes and patrons, and to apply sound
business policies to railway opera
tions.
He said he hoped future develop
ments would "humanize the science of
railroading and negative the idea that
corporations have no souls"
"The policy of the United States
railroad administration" said the di-
rector general, "has been formed and
shaped by desire to accomplish the
| following purposes which are named
in what l conceive to be the order of
their Importance:
Victory Paramount.
"First, the winning of the war,
which includes the prompt movement
of the men and material that the gov
eminent requires. To this every
thing else must be subordinated.
Second, the service of the public,
which is the purpose for which the
railways were built and given the
privileges accorded them. This i'm
plies the maintenance and improve
ment of the railroad properties so
that adequate transportation facilities
will be provided at the lowest cost, the
object of the government being to fur
nish service rather than to make
money.
To Observe Economy.
"Third, the promotion of a spirit
of understanding blween the admin
| istration of the railways and their
100000 employees as well as their
100,000,000 patrons, which latter
class includes every individual in the
nation, since transportation has be-
come prime and universal necessity
of civilized existence.
Fourth, the application Of sound
economics, including:
"(a) The elimination of superauous
expenditures.
"(b) The payment Of a fair and
living wage for service rendered and
just and prompt compensation for
injuries received.
"(c) The purchase Of material and

ever passed by any state. We find it
very easy matter now to convince
persons living beyond our city limits
that it is just as important that any
plumbing they may wish to have
done must be properly trapped and
ventilated, and made as sanitary as
tho they lived within the city limits,
which is controlled by strict plumb
ing inspection. We find the percent
age Of opposition against the state
plumbing law to be very small.
I'VE also want to say few words
in behalf of your state plumbing in

him to be man of great ability,

Mayor ]. E. Maloney of Littleton
wrote Chief Inspector Connor of how
the law has helped improve the sani-
tation of that little city, thus:
"Littleton has installed a sanitary
sewer and disposal system and is now
making the house connections of the
same.
"The people are realizing the great
benefit which is to be had from this
system and the council has adopted
the rules laid down in the state
health act under which you are work.
ing.
"The former conditions of the
plumbing of the town were about the
same as any other very small town
not strictly up to the sanitary code:
but our people are fulfilling the re-
quirements of the state board of health
with but little friction. We have found
that the state inspection has been
of great benefit to us, and wish to
commend your department for your
good work in this respect. We be-
lieve that the general health condi-
tions of every town in the state will
be greatly improved thru the inspec-
ton and cooperation of the state
board of health.
"As departments of all municipali-
ties, counties and states are subject
to every bit of criticism that can pos
sibly be leveled at them, and as those
who are satisfied with their work very
seldom mention the fact, l thought it
would be well to let you know that
our town is well satisfied with your
work and the operation of the health
act, and think that the state as
whole will be greatly benefited when
the cities and towns come fully under
the operation of the same"

which the railroad administration has

the results obtained, but believe that
great progress has been made toward
the goal of our ideals.

GAN those who have had share in
