THE LAW AND
YOUR BOSS
Predicament of a Railway
Engineer on the Coal and
Coke Could not Obey the
Law and the Boss.

The Wheeling IntelliGeat tells
and Coke engineer and what hap
pened to him:
The other day while Coal e. Coke
freight train was laundering along
near Charleston at the rate OF about
three and seven-eighths miles per
hour, 1t occurred to TIE engineer
that he had been putting il a pretty
long day. He looked at his watch
AID discovered that ho had been
working steadily for sixteen hours.
Now an all-wise government has
made II a misdemeanor TO. rail
road man in the transportation SER
vice to work more than 10 hours
a day. The Coal e. Coke engineer,
being a law abiding mai promptly
stopped his train, uncoupled his en-
CINE and ran It into the round house,
which was only a shog. distance
away. Then he went to a well-earn-
ed rest The train was left standing
On the main track.
when the superintendent learned
what had happened he declined to
listen to an essay on the subject OF
railroad law, but discharged the en-
giLeer on the spot. And there you
are. The government makes law
and attaches a penalty: railroad
tells an engineer TO run train from
Gassaway to Charlcstc1. The engi-
ncer cannot obey both law and In
structions so he yields 70 the superb
or authority, escapes the penalty and
loses his job. Have our national
regulators any solution for this prob
lem?
