MOUNT CLARE
1885 co8ss'ao9


MT CLARE, Jan. En- the issue of
January under the head of Freight
Service on Railroad Bad" appeared
an article from Mt. Glare, which,
though mainly true, may reflect more
TO the discredit Of their agent at this
place than he deserves. Let US ad-
NIT that the freight traffic along this
line, and especially at this point. may
be some what congested and democrat
ICED. but We must not overlook tl1e
fact that the traffic at Byron station
has grown to stupendous proportions,
and l doubt If any agent can step into
this office and keep the work APP to,
the satisfaction of all concerned, an
till he is relieved of his eight hours
day at the keys, or else given q helper
who is strong enough physically and
mentally to handle the freight, and
bill out and check in the same.
The trouble is as see It 6rom1 a dis
interested viewpoint, the company Will
only pay $50 per month for helper
to handle all this freight. A good and
capable man VIII come and try 1t tof1
q short time, then at the end of e.
month he pays s$22 for his board and
has only 81 left for his months work
He .'shakes the dust from his 6eet,
and ..hikes" 10 other fields In search
of work. and the railroad company
has the alternate of hiring boys four
teen or fifteen years old to do the
work. or pay the price Of a competent
helper, and have chosen the latter.
The new agentshere may not be DO
ing all that could be done for the SER
vice. but If the company would give
him an able and competent helper,
who could handle the fretgnt, depart
ment of the work, and allow the agent
TO conaine himself to keeping his book
work up. collecting freight bills, max
ing up his daily, weekly and monthly
reports. besides his eight hours at the
telegraph keys, he would still have
enough to do, and the service would
be greatly helped.
