2-PAY-DAY SYSTEM
 NOT ALL PLEASING
Men Realizing That it will Mean Cut ting Down Expenses and Refusal 10 Guarantee the Payment of Bills.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 13.-Pay day at the office of the passenger depart ment of the Rock Island came around yesterday. In some ineXplainable man. ner the cash for the force of the pass enger department did not arrive at the same time as that for the rest of the general offices, which were pald OH about ten days ago. This is the 1lfst pay day the passenger depaftmeht clerical force has had since the ne" sem:-monthly pay day law went into effect
 The semi-monthly pay day IS caas- ing much dissatisfaction, not oni! with the roads themselves but With great many employees.
 The men realize that under the pre- sent system of two pay days mon'E' the railroads are put to mucn greater expense in compilation of two pay rolls each month instead of one, cut ting down all possible expenses. ms is especially evident to the englnemen' trainnen. switchmen and shop men, who are naid on a scale of so much an hour or day. Of course. in the instance of the clerical forces where set monthly salary is paid, there it is only necessary to divide the amount into two equal amounts, one tor each pay day, but with the others it is nece7~ sarv to receive reports indicating ne time put in and make out the pay F2l accordingly.
 Further, the men realize that sooner or later the railroads will refuse tC guarantee restaurant and boardlns house keepers payment of bills con- tracted by men in its employ. This Will affect the transient railroad men who go from place to place at different periods Of the year. Contrary 10 the general opinion, this class of transient railroad men is not entirely composed of men who are unable to hold good job and are fired, but consists largely of those who change from one portion of the country to another to assist T handling the various crops. For in stance, during the early summer eXtr equipment and extra men are needle to handle the whea crops in the North ern and middle Western states, whll only month or two later these sam extra men are needed in the South assist with the cotton crop. The again in the winter he may be neede in the coal regions. So it goes th many good railroad men are constan ly on the move. As result of tf railroads refusing to guarantee pa men. of bills to merchants and hot keepers, many of the men will be SC iously inconvenienced. The lrt Mountain has already taken ste along this line and will no long guarantee the payment of bills of al of it's employees who have not been
