Salem —G overnor W est has discov­
ered th a t senate bill 225 w as altered,
m ost probably unintentionally, in en­
rolling. so th a t it excludes tra in d is­
patchers from its operation.
The bill
is one prescrib in g a 14-hour lim it fo r
the continual em ploym ent o f railro ad
men. T here is a clause in the bill
w here the ty p is t could easily have
jum ped from one line to another in
coPy*nlf- T his was undoubtedly* the
m anner in w hich the e rro r w as m ade.
