A NEW ORDER
FOR RATE CLERKS
RAILROADS WILL HOLD THEM
LIABLE FOR ALL MIS-
TAKES
viii Have to Dig Down and Make
Good All Losses From Their Salaries
Causes CONSERVATION Among Men
Whom Order Affects.

new order has Just been promul.
gated by all the railroads of the coun-
try which has caused CONSERVATION in
the ranks Of one class of employees
Hereafter the rate clerks must make
good from their salaries all losses to
the roads occasioned by incorrectly
quoting rates. Instructions to this eff.
feet have already been sent out from
the headquarters of some Of the roads
and it is expected that all others will
do likewise. In the issuance OF the
order the railroads claim that under
the new law the railroads must &C.
count for every cent of earnings under
der the published tariffs, and that If
an error has been made In quoting the
rates, some one must make up the loss
out Of his own pocket.
The new statute provides that the
government may check up the books
of the railroad companies, and If the
examiner should find that the road
receives less than the proper amount
for performing service, the railroad
must make explanation. The officials
hold that the only way to adjust this
satisfactorily is to make the man who
committed the error pay out Of his own
personal funds.
Formerly Dismissed Matter.
Hitherto when rate clerk made an
error in quoting rates, the railroad
charged the mistake to profit and loss
and dismissed the matter with perhaps
only a reprimand to the employee. But
under the new rule the profit and loss
account SO far as these transactions
are concerned, will be abolished. and
the railroad will get tariff earnings for
every service performed.
The rate clerks are sick lot. They
know that mistakes are bound to hap.
pen, and that, despite the care they
are able to exercise in the rush of
work, they are sure to quote some
rates too low This will mean that
they will have the error charged to
their salaries, and in some instances
they may find at>the end of the month
that. instead of having pay check
coming, they will actually owe the
company.
One thing has not been mentioned
in the circular, and that is what is to
become of overcharges. The clerks
are wondering if they will receive a
portion of the money that is collected

New Law Now In Effect,

The new anti-pass law is now in full
force and effect The railroads in
Iowa have come to an agreement to
make the commerce law effective with
In the state, although they apply to In
terstate transportation.
Representatives of the railroads
have been advised that for the sake Of
uniformity the roads will observe the
interstate provisions regarding free
passes on both Interstate and state
business. The only persons to whom
free transportation will be granted In
this state hereafter are such persons
as are excepted in the interstate act
and only in such cases where those
persons did not come within the pro-
hibitions Of the state anti-pass law
The new interstate commerce law
provides that mo common carrier sub
ject to the provisions of this act shall,
after January ], 1907, directly or In
directly, issue any interstate free
ticket, free pass, or free transporta-
tion for passengers" except to It's en-
ployes and their families and for GER
tain specified religious and charitable
purposes. 1t might be inferred from
this that the roads could and therefore
would continue to issue free passes as
of yore until January J. but the roads
and their attorneys take different
view of the matter.
The railroads in taking this action
as regards passes within the state are
Influenced chiefly no doubt by the fact
that it is to their financial interest to
do SO. While the issuance of free
transportation to the general public,
aside from that issued to public Off
Gals, has been limited, nevertheless 1t
