Railroad Administration 'sBone Dry"
Regardless of what happens
July 1, the United States Rail-
road Administration is bone
dry" now and proposes to stay,
that way. In a circular letter
addressed to Central Western
Railroads, Regional Director
Hale Holden warns against per-
hitting any fitting of the lid on
troop trains carrying returning
soldiers and sailors and makes it
clear that the administration can
not tolerate the violation of fed
eral and state laws relating to
liquor upon its trains.
The statements made that re-
ports have reached the war de-
partment of intoxication of sol.
diers and sailors on trains and
the drinking of Intoxicating Ii
quors upon such trains by civil
ians in violation of local laws
Mr.. Holden calls upon all rail-,
road men to cooperate in the.
suppression of this evil. With
the assumption of federal con-.
troll, John Barlecorn was ban
ished not only from trains, but
from all railroad property con-
trOlled by the government.
