ENGINEERS DISLIKE LAW.
I. @. @. Order Concerning Engines Not
Appreciated at Arkansas City.

Arkansas City, Kan, Oct. 19.-The
interstate commerce commission has
laid down a law which Is meeting with
much disfavor among engineers gen
orally. The commission has ruled that
engineers are to be prohibited from
doing any work on their locomotives
when they are off duty. The purpose
of such a ruling, it is said, aims to
compel the engineer to rest up when
he is not engaged at the throttle. 1t
is claimed that his working on the
engine off duty, conflicts indirectly
with the 16 hour law.
Objection of enginemen to this new
order, arises from the fact that they
are able to make many minor repairs
On an engine that it would be unable
TO receive while in the shops This
work they perform on their own &C
count, and it is of great assistance to
the company. The engineer takes
pleasure in doing the extra work and
he feels that the interstate commerce
commission is interfering with his
personal liberty by refusing him per-
mission to indulge in that pleasure.
