MEN ARE
WARNED TO AVOID
POLITICS in FUTURE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept e.
Director General McAdodo has or
dered all railroad men, officials and
employees alike, to keep out of poli-
tics.
Coming state and federal elections
as well as the primary contests, the
director general of railroads announc-
ed in a formal statement to all rail-
road men, make imperative that the
conduct of all should be scrupulously
guarded that there can be no charge
direct or indirect of railroad infiu-
ence.
Pointing out that while railroads
we're under private management it
was common report that their parti-
c;pation in politics was widespread,
ar McAdoo declares that under gov
eminent control there are no longer
private interests to serve and that the
incentive to participate actively no
longer exists.

In writing this constitution the con
