RAILROAD MEN STILL
WORK FOR COMPANIES
Adyices Received This Week Indicate
That Government Management
Only Deals With Big Issues.

Railroad employees were advised
this week that they are not under
government suervision merely be-
cause the government has taken over
the management Of all the roads in
the country during the war cmergen-
cy. According to the bulletins re-
celved in Ontario the local men are
still In the employ of the Short Line
and acting under suervision Of the
company's officials.
In view Of the present emergency
and the blockade OF traffic it would
entail great hardship on the nation
to have the railroad men In govern
mont employ for the reason that gov
ernment employees by law can not
work more than hours per day or
sc hours per week This Is but one
OF the problems which the complete

tail and railroad men see many
