Items of Interest About Differ
ent Employees.
CHANGE EFFECTIVE AUG. |

For a long time Rock Island officials
have been working on a new book of
rules governing the operation of trains.
The rules have been completed and will
go into effect August 1 over the whole
Rock Island system. The old rules have
not been entirely abandoned, but have
tent that they are much clearer and viii
be easier for the railroad men to become
familiar with.
The books containing the new rules
have been published and are being placed
i'll the hands of che employees. They
will be given until August l TO become
acquainted with them. board of exam
ination will be established at each diyis-
ion point and at these points employees
of the new rule book.
In speaking of the old rules, w. o. Ne
will, trainmaster of the Rock Island Kan
sas division, said:
The principal trouble with the old book
was that it contained unnecessary direc-
tions and explanations. The book dealt
with the minutest details and even rules
which were the most obvious were given
the same attention as was given the more
difficult ones. The book contained much
that was commendable, however, and in
compiling the new book many of the old
rules have been rewritten and rear
ranged for future use. All unnecessary
eXplana tons have been cut out and al
though the new rules are standard, and
similar in many respects to those in use
on other lines. they are at the same time
much more concise
