Rules of the interstate commerce commission concerning reports of the hours of employment of railroad officials, effective July 1, have just been rqpeived in rdilroad offices and are the cause of much complaint among agents and officials. The rules require that a complete record of time of every employe from tlxe president to the office boy be kept. The hour and minutes each employe is at work in the office are to be recorded on specially designed sheets. Over time must also be reported. On days when solicitors are outside seeking business it is required that they report as "being on duty,” but they must report the actual time they are at work in the office. Most any one can be an editor. All the editor has to do is to sit at a desk six days a week, four weeks in a month and twelve months in a year and “edit” such stuff as this: “Mrs. Jones of Cactus (Week let a can opener slip last week and cut herself in the pantry.” “A mischevious lad of Piketown threw a stone and hit Mr. Pike in the alley last Tuesday.” “Joe Doe climbed on the roof of his house last wy>ek looking for a leak and fell, striking himself on the back porch.” “While Harold Green was escorting Miss Violet Wise from the church social last Saturday night a savage dog attacked them and bit Mr. Green on the public square.” Isaiah Thimmer of Running Creek was playing witli a cat Friday when it scratched him oil the veranda.” “Mr. Frank, while harnessing a broncho last Wednesday. was kicked just soutli of the corn crib.”
