He has requested newspapers to re-

of him in uniform.
Two years ago McGiffert may have
been elected on sympathy and on
gratitude of the people for his record.
No one knew what kind of a commits
sioner he would make. There is no
need to bring in his six years service
in the marines, his fearlessness as a
soldier. his seventeen shell wounds at
Belleau in the Chateau Thierry battle,
one of the bitterest of the war, and the
fact that he was fighting for his
country before many men fully real
lied the country was at war, in order
to make his reelection certain next
week. He objects strenuously to any
mention of his war record in this cam
paign. But in this campaign Topeka
knows what kind of commissioner
he makes and would re-elect him with
out consideration of his military
record.
Health Is Important.
The public health of country is
FAR more important than the size of
the army that country supports, Nc
Giffert believes. Coming from an ex-
soldier, that opinion is especially in
teresting. The knowledge he gained
of the physical unfitness of the
men of the United States during
the war is his basis for the belief.
The thousands of men rejected when
the army was recruited should prove
the need of greater attention to health
matters, the commissioner thinks.

Trf-city railroad officials this

the crafts.
Oficial notification has not been
received by S. W. Muliinix, super
intendent OF the Silvis shops. but
upon unofficial report of the rail-
road labor board changes in the
new rules affect chiefly plants in
which working rules have not been
agreed upon by the roads and their
employees.
General estimates OF savings
amounting to $50. 600, 900 a year in
economies OF operation and in
greater efficiency were forecast on
a basis OF the promulgated altera-
tons and 400. 900 men come under
Jurisdiction OF the board. The Ia
Dor board rules expressly avoid
situations In which the road and

upon conditions.
AS a matter of fact, the dispatch

Most Of the older working rules

Many OF the more rigid rules. how

was previously assigned to cleo

only.
Train Operators Affected.
! Under the new rules, engineers,
iremen and cranesmen are not
prohibited from making such re-
pairs to equipment on the lines OF
the road as they r qualified to
perform. The new rules thus al
low train operatives to perform re-

new rules are given the job OF re-
moving and replacing CRATES. I'm
der the national agreement all
crate rigging work was assigned to
journeymen boilermakers.
The classification of the work of
the sheet metal workers. electrical
workers and car men has been
changed to allow some of the work
previously performed by them ex-
clusively to be done by their help
ers and to mechanics in other
crafts. where the needs of the ser
vice require it. Under the national
agreement, ear men were exclu-

Another important change af-
fecting ear men is that which al
lows common laborers to disman-
tie wooden freight cars hereafter.
Under the national agreement. only
qualified carpenters were allowed
to do this work. About IS per cent
Of the country's freight cars are

New Apprentice Established.

creates a new type of apprentice
to be known as special appren-

only two kinds of apprentices in
the skilled shop crafts, regular and
helpers apprentices. Regular az
prentices are youths entering the
service between the ages OF 10 and

apprenticeship. and helper appren-
tees are those selected from the
ranks Of the helpers. Special ap-

young men between the ages of Is

school education, and they will be
required to serve only three years
apprenticeship before becoming
journeymen mechanics.
