ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS Permit No Slacking Is Brotherhood Slogan; Must Be Loyal Employes Philadelphia, June 20. —That the leaders or the four railroad Brother hoods stand as a unit in refusing to countenance delinquency, indiffer ence, carelessness or "slacking," on the part of employes engaged in the vital service of transportation, is very clearly shown by circular letters just sent out by the general chairman o( these organizations to all local chair men and members on the Pennsyl vania railroad lines east. Copies of these letters have been forwarded to Assistant General Man ager R. L. O'Donnel, with permission to make them public. They are sign ed by William Park, general chair man. Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers; S. C, Cowen, general chair man, Order of Railway Conductors; C. E. Musser, general chairman, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and H. E. Core, general chairman. Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. The circular letters were issued following the receipt of several com munications from Mr. O'Donnel, ad dressed to the four general chairmen and calling attention to a large num ber of specific instances of failure in duty and other forms of apparent "slacking" on the part of train ser vice employes of the Pennsylvania railroad, lines east, occurring with in the last few weeks. The four gen-1 oral chairmen, after receiving Mr. i O'Donnel's communications, addres-| sed to him a joint letter saying in; part: "We assure you of our hearty co operation, and we trust that steps will be taken to correct the matters brought to your attention during our meeting of yesterday, as we fully ap preciate that now that we are all government employes, it Is necessary that there be co-operation, not only on the part of the employes, but also on the part of the officials of the company, so that we may all work as a unit for the government, for without co-operation, we feel that all efforts will fail along the lines of unification of forces tor the success ful handling of traffic on our rail road." Extracts from the circular letters of the four general chairmen follow: Knginerr Head Speak* William Park, general chairman. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers: "The man who is failing to report on time, or is refusing to re spond when called, is not helping the situation by such action, on the other hand he is helping t6 discredit our organization or our profession us patriotic member when at this cri tical period there is such an extreme shortage of men in railroad service lo move the great volume of freight necessary to keep supplies moving promptly to our armies. "If the boys in the trenches failed lo report promptly or tailed to re spond when ordered to do so, as some of our railroad men are doing, serious things would result, yet by KcneraJ order the President has plac ed us all on the same category with the soldiers. We are just as much a part of this great war machine, our duties are just as great, our re- FEELS GOOD SINOT HE FOUND FRIEND SulTcre*!

Cowen, general chairman, Or der of Railway Conductors: "We should get away from the idea that our responsibility ceases when we have completed our daily assign ment. The conductor is a part of the national railroad service and as an integral unit of this great republic he has a duty to perform. "A spirit of co-operation should take hold of every branch of serv ice, to the end that we may serve our country faithfully and efficient-1 i ly. This is your task—it is my task.i A spirit of mutual helpfulness should pervade every part of our lives in this time of Democracy's great strug gle for the world's freedom from autocracy. "By the terms of agreement be tween the management and our or ganization, we are bound to respect the working conditions and rates of pay in effect. There is much we can do to assist the government to un cover not only the men engaged in engine and train service who are wilfully slacking their work, but em ployes in every branch of service. "As your general chairman I feel | it to be my duty to bring this->ques tlon to your attention. Certain charges have been made, together I with evidence substantiating these ' charges. I have bAen told that a certain responsibility rests upon my shoulders to see that our member ship are faithful In the performance f>f the service in which we are en gaged. It is a national service and as we fail to measure up to our pa triotic duty, just so much we weaken our Army and Navy." Trainmen's Letter C. E. Musser, general chairman. Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen: "We teach a man at the time of his admittance into the brotherhood his obligation to God, himself, his employer and his fellow member, and I believe this is the time when our obligation is being put to the crucial test. "I am sending you this communi cation as chairman of the general committee representing the men em ployes on our lines, as our organiza tion to the men it represents. The organization has entered into an agreement with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company—that agreement containing rates of pay and condi tions of employment. We are bound as an organization to fulfill our part of that compact. I believe you will agree with me that when members of this brotherhood fail to perform {service for which ' our committee has stipulated rates and conditions, we have to a degree prejudiced out good faith in performing our part of the mutual obligations. "I feel that I would be lax in my duty if X did not call these matters to the attention of the membership and I trust the lodges and local chairmen will lend their honest sup port—which I know they will dB— our endeavor to prove that we are willing to give that for which we contract. H. E. Core, gafneral chairman, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen: "As members of an honorable organization, we are all duty bound to do all in our power to assist officials of the company In the prompt, efficient and safe movement of engines and trains, and to see that all firemen and hostlers properly, promptly and efficiently do their duty while in the service of the com pany. "The long list in Mr. O'Donnel's letters, among whom are many, many firemen, shows a seriously de moralizing tendency towards ineffi ciency among many engine and train service employes. If this is not promptly ami effectively checked, it must inevitably injure the good repMte of our organization, and the good name of the liremen and host lers as efficient working men, and loyal and patriotic citizens. "I will, therefore, urge upon you all to do all in your power to see that every fireman and hostler is particularly careful to promptly and efficiently perform all his duties, and if for any reason they desire to leave the service of the company, they do so only after giving due aftd time ly notice. "Failure to promptly respond for duty when called and quitting the service of the company without due and timely notice, are among the worst forms of industrial slacking, and have a seriously demoralizing : effect on the efficiency of railroad \ service in the movement of all trains now so vitally necessary. "ludustrial slacking in any of its forms is as great a menace to the safety of our country as any pro- German propaganda can possibly be."

Many Reading Officials Change Their Positions Officers of the Reading Company were re-elected at the meeting of the board yesterday, but immediately kfter Edward T. Stotesbury resigned as president and in his place Agnew T. Dice was elected. Mr. Dice is now president both of the Reading Company and the Phila delphia and Reading Railway. Mr. Stotesbury continues as' a director of the Reading Company. Alfred H. Smith, who is regional director, retired from the Reading board to-day and was succeeded by William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. William L. Kinter also resigned and was suc ceeded by Mr. Dice. Charles Heebner, general solicitor, was appointed general counsel, a new position. Mr. Smith also retired from the Philadelphia and Reading Railway board, where he was succeeded by Mr. Vanderbilt, and Mr. Klnter's resignation from that board was fol lowed by the election or C. E. Dilks. Mr. Stotesbury assumed the pres idency of the Reading Company only after he had been urged to do so by the stockholders of the company, It was explained at the Reading of fices. For some time Mr. Stotesbury has been considering dropping the re sponsibility of the presidency, it was said, and when federal control of railroads took place, he believed it was a good chance to withdraw. The presidency of the Reading Company, the holding company, has been held by Mr. Stotesbury since April, 1914. At his office it was said he did not care to make a state ment regarding his resignation.
