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:

Herr street, Harrisburg, Pa.
"1 suffered a lot from indigestion,

'tßut Tanlac's the great stuff, for

"And sleep! I sleep like a log and

Tanlac is now being introduced

Conductor Loader's Idea
S. C. 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.
