SENIORITY RIGHTS

/ : .sl- =. 2. '.-
There is great deal Of confusi"u
in the public mind concerning the
seniority rights of railroad en-
ployes. To state the matter con-
cisely, seniority in each class of rail-
road employees means that those who
have served longest in the continuous
employ Of railroad stand at the
head Of the list in the order of their
length Of service. Standing at the
head Of the list means that they have
first call upon promotions, desirable
transfers and continuous employ
ment. 35.!
For the classes of men now on
strike the seniority rules were pro-
mulgated by the United States Rail-,
road Labor Board on November 20,
1921, in -addendum No. 8 to decision
No. 222. ~. .,
The chief provisions are:
"Rule II. Employees serving on
night shifts desiring day work shalt
have preference when vacancies oc-
cur, according to their seniority.
@ Rule 1s. When new jobs arecre-
ated or vacancies occur in the respec-
tive crafts, the Oldest employees in
point Of serving shall il sufficient
ability Is shown BY trial, be given
preference in filing such new jobs or
any vacancies that may Be desirable
to them. { n s5s
"Rule 27. When it becomes neces-
sary to reduce expenses the hours
| may be reduced to forty (4O) per
week before reducing the force.
When the force is reduced, seniority
as per rule 81 will govern. In the
restoration forces, senior laid-off men
will be given preference in returning
to service, II available within q rea-
sonable time, and shall be returned
to their former positions If possible.
Rule 20. When reducing forces
it men are needed at any. other point.
they will be given preference to trans.
Ter to nearest point, with privilege
OF returning to home station when
force is increased, such transfer to be
made without expense to the COM
pany. Seniority to govern all
cases"
From the above rules it is clear
that the employees whose names
stand toward the head Of the lists Of
their class have by reason Of that
seniority these valuable privileges:
f1) Choice Of the opportunity Of
shifting from night work to day
work. 4, s5 n stsSs s..z RI
(2) Choice Of desirable vacancies
or new Jobs when created.
(3) In case Of reduction of for
ces. assurance that they win be the
last to Be laid Of and the hrst p be
taken on when forces are increased.
When forces are being reduc-
ed al one point and maintained or|
increased At another point. the opsl
Snortunity of filling the vacancies at
the other ntoint temporarily without
losing their rights at their regular
place sof employment.

new scheme. He is Eugene Barmore,
who with his brother, r. L. Barmore,
operates one of the most diversified
and profitable plantations in this Sec
ton. Their plantation is situated be-
tween Donalds and Ware Shoals.
English ringneck pheasants have
been raised at profit by Mr.. Barmore
for several years. The birds are easily
raised and demand fancy prices as
breeding stock, he says. The birds
are raverously fond of boil weevils
and will keep a cotton field clear Of
the pests. BY clipping the last joints
of one wing, the birds are prevented
from flying and may be kept in any
field enclosed with woven wire, ac-
cording to Mr.. Barmore. They do not
eat crops, and both cotton and pheas-
ats may be grown at profit on the
same land, the planter declares. .

"Boonf" Times In 1922.
When asked for a statement on the
prospects of the farmer in 1922, by the
Washington Herald, Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wallnce said that no man
whose opinion was worth considering
would care to make any hard and fast
propf ecies. He added, however, that
ther. are signs which indicate that the
coming year should be better one for
tie farmer and FOR those who deal with
MIN than was 1921. Among these hope
full signs he mentioned the following:
Credit conditions are better both
through the regular channels and
through the special agencies created
to meet the farmers needs: Interest
rates also are softening.

rates on farm products.

BOIL WEEvIL pEsTRoYERS
Greenwood Farmer Raises Pheasants
and Cotton in Same Field.

An entirely new method of ridding
cotton of boil wcevils has been pro-
posed by planter of this section, says
a Greenwood dispatch. The plan has
few complications, one merely feeds
the wecvils to pheasants. or course
the weevils and the pheasants must be
brought together so that the latter
may consume the former but that Is
mere detail, the originator OF the
scheme declares.
Using pheasaEts to rid cotton OF boil
wcevils is not mere idle dream, a
