FOR RAILROAD MEN
System Perfected Now to Provide Pre-
= ferred Draft Classification.

A recent order from the office of
Provost Marshal General Crowder to
all draft officials, relating to deferred
classification of many classes of rail-
road employees. which was passed on
to all managers and wire chiefs on
the Santa Fe lines has been received
in the telegraph department of the
Santa Fe in Topeka.
The order will cover men in class l .
not previously indicted, who must
either make the application for de-
ferred classification to the district
board for transmission to the local
board, or, if the applicant does not
care to make personal application or
IS unable to apply in person the ar
engagements can be made by Federal
manager or any representa- tive of the
United States railway administra ton
ANY application must be accom-
panied by affidavits signed by a rail-
way official at least as high as Ii
vision superintendent, prefera bly, high
er. and should state. first: that If re-
consideration is not taken both the ef-
fective operation of the road in all
ways, both civil and military, will suf-
fer thru the inability of the road to
fill the places with efficient and
skilled operators: second, that the
railroads are one of the most impo--
tant factors the present emergency
both from the standpoint of serving
the public and aiding in military why's
and should be classed as necessary
war industries: third, that the indi-
vidual is engaged actively and con-
t1nuous1y in the capacity described in
the affidavit, is competent and quail
fled, and whose removal would results
in loss of effective operation
Decisions in all cases of applications
for reconsidera ton rest with the dis
trict board. The following classes OF
occupations are included in the order:
Machinists, boilermakers, blacksmitns,
tin and coppersmiths. pipe filters.
hostlers, engine house men. train dis
patchers, telegraph clerks. telephone
and block operators, engineers and
motormen. conductors, foremen, yard

NEW ARMY PAY PLAN
Government Adopts System for Hand
ling Soldier Allotment Checks.

Word has been received by Mrs. C.
w. Seely. of the Topeka division of the
Red Cross Home Service department,
from the St Louis office, giving out
the governments new regula tons on
the handling of allotment and allow
ance checks
The August checks, the notice says.
will be held up for a time. until the
new system is put into operation.
Heretofore. allowance and allotment
checks that are sent thru the COVER n
ment Office to dependents of soldiers
and sailors. have been handled thru
the war risk department Every SOL
dire or sailor who has dependents.
makes an allotment from his pay. He
is required to make an allotment of
SIS, and he may make it larger if he
wishes In addition to the allotment
the government makes an allowance
of a. certain amount, if the soldier or
sailor makes request for it. The
compulsory allotment and the allow
ance will continue to be handled thru
the war risk department.. but extra
allowances will be handled thru the
army or navy departm For ex-
ample, if a man has been alloting SIS
month to his wife. she will receive
check for SIS from the war risk de-
partment, from which she formerly
received the entire SIS, but an extra
check for the IS will be mailed to
ments. In short. she will receive the
full amount of allotment and allow
ance from the soldier and the gov
eminent but it will reach her thru
different channels. The same rule
applies to other dependents
/ Those who do not receive their
checks as promptly as they expect
them, will understand the reason for
the delay. and will be assured that the
full amount due will be sent when the
new system gets into proper working
order The reason for the change is
that changes in the pay given with ad-
vancements. occasion more changes in
allotments than the war risk depart
ment can handle. and the work is
| simply being divided.
| In case of need. when the checks
are delayed long enough to work a
! serious financial hardship on depend
ents. they can receive aid thru the
! home service department. 1t is to be
| understood that this assistance is not

| plated change in arrangements for
