Prohibition Among Railroad Employees

RECENTLY the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad issued an order stating that drinking among its employees should cease at once, and that any man detected drinking on duty or off duty should be deprived of his position without further warning. Since this order was issued, one hundred and twenty-six employees have been dismissed for drinking, and it is understood that several hundred others will soon go for the same reason. Among those discharged were engineers, conductors, firemen, brakemen, flagmen. The action of this railroad is certainly to be commended; and every traveler over this line, knowing the stand taken by the company, will feel safer in committing himself to the care of the employees of this system.
