 He claims that in order to comply with the law fifty men have to be employed for work which six men us- ually can carry out, When a crew leaves New Orleans, the men must re- main away from that place seven days before they can re-enter the State. Say a crew leaves New Orleans Mon day night and passes through Alabama Tuesday, arriving in Cincinnati on Wednesday. Thursday the same crew will leave Cincinnati and pass through Alabama on Friday and arrive in New Orleans again on Saturday. This will not be permitted as the crew does not remain seven days away from New Orleans before returning to the State. MT Morgan has the matter up now ficer. Citizens of New Orleans are ai- so complaining of hardships in these regulations and 1t is believed at this point that there will be some changes made.
