FRIDAY EVENING,
INTERESTING RAILROAD NEWS
MAKE FOREIGNERS
GOOD AMERICANS
Shopmen "Will Teach Them
How to Become Citizens;
General Order
Unnaturalized employes of the
Pennsylvania railroad will be taught
Americanism through the co-opera- I
tion of the shop foremen, the rail
road administration and school offi
cials, notices being distributed
among foremen asking for a sur- I
vey of all unnaturalized employes, j
The survey follows a discussion |
at a recent meeting of the Pennsy
general staff relative to Americani- .
zation of the foreign employes and
an effort will be made all over the j
Pennsy system to have every for
eign-born employe educated.
In the letters to the shop foremen |
the official seeks to secure, first, the :
number of foreign born who have !
declared their intention of becom- I
ing citizens: second, the number j
that have taken out first papers, and,
third, the number with second or J
final papers.
TV> Bo Citizens
That each individual employe be- i
comes an American citizen is the j
aim of the plan inaugurated by the i
Pennsy, and all employes of foreign i
birth will be urged to take some j
training in the English language !
and American history.
According to the letter from the
general superintendent the Pennsy j
employs 28,5'"5 men of foreign birth,
surveys recently completed showing I
who don't know about this simple
recipe to be constantly sniffing
and snuffling, blowing and hawk
ing, when all these obnoxioa.
symptoms as well as the foul dis
charge can be made to disappear
in a few days.
Ask for three-quarters of an
ounce of Mentholized Arcine—
that'3 all you need and after yor
have mixed it with enough boiled
water to make a pint* gargle the
throat twice daily and snuff or
spray some up the nostrils, as di
rected.
The tender nostrils will soon
lose their soreness, heal up, and be
clean ar.d healthy.
Important Reminder: Just as
soon as anyone in the family gets
a cold in the head, check it at once
with this same medicine. s
that 10.558 were naturalized, 6,070
had secured their first papers, 6,621
j had declared their Intention to be
come naturalised, while 6,107 gave
no thought to citizenship.
Americanization schools are In
operation in many places along the
Pennsy lines and employes are en
rolled but it is the desire of the
. Pennsy to nave every foreign-born
| employe in school to qualify to be
an American citizen.
"Foremen are requested to mako
copies of the names and addresses
of all employes, one
I copy being sent to the general su
• perintendent. When the reports are
completed action toward providing
! schools will bo taken.
Women Employes Decrease
in Number on Railroads
The women's service section of the
! division of labor of the United States
railroad administration was created
by the director general In Septem
ber, 1918. Miss Pauline Goldman
! was appointed manager. The num
| ber of women employes had increas
•ed from 61,162 on January 1, to
j 101.787 on October 1, 1918. Since
i it first began its work, the women's
I service section has been constantly
advising with officials and suggest
!ing methods of meeting the needs
of the women employes more fully.
As was to be expected, the return
lof the men from military service
i who had had their positions kept
! for them, and the general increase
;in the labor force early this year,
: resulted in a considerable decrease,
iOn July 1. 1919, the number had
j fallen to 82,294. The decrease was
less in the clerical positions.
The present status of women in
| the service was the subject of much
interest in the recent conference in
Chicago held by the staff of the wom
en's service section and the super
visors of women employes. These
meetings were attended by 15 repre
sentatives of different railroads from
all parts of the country. The broad
er aspects of woman's place in the
railroad world were discussed and
attention was called to the need, as
revealed by the U. S. R. A. statistics,
of having women employes develop
high standards of efficiency if they
are to be retained in their positions.
Pennsylvania Railroad Girls Club
basketball team will leave to-morrow
for Burnham where they play the
second game of the season.
Profane language or anything re
pugnant to the clause in the rule
book calling for "the faithful, intelli
gent and courteous" discharge of
duty may afford good cause for dis
missal from the railroad service.
This is the salient feature of a cir
cular recently promulgated on the
Pennsylvania railroad.

Who Won the Coal Strike?
1 erms received with "unqualified approval" by the coal operators, accepted with the com
ment the fight is won" by the strike-leaders, regarded with gratification by the Government, and
hailed by many responsible papers as a "great victory for the public," would seem to be all that
could reasonably be expected as a solution of the coal crisis. But through the general jubilation
there sounds a note of doubt and warning from no less an authority than Dr. Harry A. Garfield,
Lnited States Intel Administrator, who fears that in the near future this settlement will mean
further inroads upon the pocketbooks of the coal-consuming public.
1 he leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for this week —December 20th—has been
prepared so as to give the public an all-sided knowledge of just what the strike settlement con
templates. It quotes facts, opinions, and predictions from all sources, and the article is illus
trated with half-tone illustrations and cartoons.
