Promotion Denied Drinking Men
THE United Natural Gas Company, at Franklin, Pennsylvania, which is a distributing company for the Standard Oil, has issued the following notice to all employees: "Everywhere the use of intoxicating liquors is being regarded with increasing disfavor, and many large corporations have recently issued circulars to their employees on the subject. The habit, as we all know, greatly reduces a man's efficiency and makes him unreliable. "A great many of our men are sober and industrious, and we desire that their influence be exerted to induce the drinking minority to follow their example. "It has been decided that hereafter promotions will be made only from the ranks of the non-drinkers, and continuance of the drinking habit by employees will be cause for dismissal."
