given representation, we would have
repetition of the old plan of them
getting together to horn the public,

government such "a plan could be
worked to perfection. Let the COM

SENIORITY RIGHTS

There is a great deal of confusion
in the public mind concerning the
"seniority rights" Of railroad employ
es. To state the matter concisely,
seniority in each class of railroad en-
ployes means that those who have
served longest in the continuous en-
ploy 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 trans
fers and continuous employment.
For the classes of men now on strike
the seniority rules were promulgated
by the United States Railroad Labor
Board on November 20, 1921, in ad-
dendum No. 6 to decision No. 222.
The chief provisions are:
E'Rule II. Employees serving on
night shifts desiring day work shall
have preference when vacancies &C.
cur, according to their seniority.
"Rule 10. When new jobs are Gre
ated or vacancies occur in the respec-
tive crafts, the oldest employees in
point of service shall, if sufficient

A VETERA AN BACK IN AN OLD
HARNESS

The front page Of The Herald this
week bears news of the Immediately
impending departure Of DR.. George
A. Mcfarland, head of the Williston
public school system for the past
three years, to become president of
the Minot state normal school. This
news can hardly be received by any
one in Williston without profound
personal regret-and yet, in another
way, there is in it an element of gra-
LITIGATION to his friends, both here and
elsewhere about the state, who be-
lieve that in the conditions which
brought about his withdrawal from
normal school leadership at Valley
City few years ago the state lost an
educator Of educators whose place
could not easily be refilled.
DR.. Mcfarland is a veritable dean
among the educational men of North
Dakota, and he has given to the state
the fullest and most ardent service of
his best years. To the school inter-
ests of Williston for three years he
has been both a blessing and be-
quest-a gift, as it were, from circum-
stances which permitted to US the ad-
vantage that the interests of wider
and greater educational cause were
denied.
In the meeting of the Williston
Board of Education, which takes place
tomorrow evening to consider his re-
signation, it must of course be recog-
nized that duty, for DR.. Mcfarland,
lies along the line of the present new
and greater call. But his withdrawal
can nevertheless be accepted only with
the keenest and most general regret.
