Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 152, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 June 1915 — No Boozers on the Lackawanna. [ARTICLE]

No Boozers on the Lackawanna.

Another department of the Lackawanna railroad has dropped the “booze fighter.” Now it is the storehouse section of the road’s employees which must taboo strong drink. Orders have been Issued to all employees in the storehouses that hereafter men who drink intoxicating liquors will not he continued in the service of the company. The order further states that no men who use liquor will be employed In the future. This action was brought about as the result of a former storehouse employee confessing to wholesale thefts of brass from the company might raise funds to continue to enjoy the so-called "high life” which his salary of S6O per month would not permit.—Exchange.
