Show TIPPLERS NOT WANTED the prohibitionist should take a pointer from a recent action of several meverAl railway superintendents in the east who have been closing up saloons in a most effective manner and 0 oe e agai against not which the whisky vendors are unable to make an effectual protest these superintendents have realized that the habit of taking intoxicants indulged in n by employee emp loyes has been the cause of much destruction of property ou on the railways and aad by direction of the managements of the roads road they set out on a policy to put a stop to those these loisea it was tried by one division and road at a time so as not to awaken trouble and so far has worked to a charm the policy is indicated ky by the he following notice which is posted up at almost every point of assembly in the neighborhood of shops as well as at different places on the line where the men will be sure to see it all employed emp loyes in all departments of the service are hereby notified than any em aloye known as frequenting bar rooms liquor saloons or other places where intoxicating liquors are sold either on or off duty will be summarily dismissed from the service this will not be construed to prevent employee emp loyes from obtain ng meals at hotels which maintain a bar but they are cautioned not to lo frequent such bar at first there we was some ome kicking but aben sensible aen elble men learned that they baust make their choice between frequenting saloons and employment they were not long in selecting the latter there were some ome who would slip alip up to the bar on the sly and got get a drink and when brought into the gen eral era superintendents superintendent a office for violating the rule would attempt a dental denial but the superintendents had fixed hip abir they bad sent lent out men to watch and these instead of appearing a witnesses agat agal at the he accused acou aed merely took a with a pocket camera at the employed who was
