Railroad News of Interest
Railroad employes are no longer to have the process of garnish
ment as a menace or a means for deht collection, for it has been set
tled that a railroad employe's salary cannot be garnisheed.
In a recent case at Topeka, Kan., A. L. Horton, an insurance man,
brought garnishment against George Pierson, chief clerk in the
freight auditor's department of the Santa Fe road for $29.84, claim
ing the amount to be due on a note.
The case, before federal railroad Control, would have hem n tri
viality in the day's business of a great railroad and would have been
handled with perhaps a bundle of similar eases hy some junior mem
ber of the legal department It. brought into court instead the leading
attorn. ;vs of the Santa Fe and other prominent lawyers.
The federal law under whieh the railroads now operate is clear
and definite. It was established that a railroad employe now is a fed
eral employe. The money that may be due him for salary, as it lies
in the treasury of the railroad eompauy, is government money. Un
til the cheek for the amount of eash itself has been plaeed in the
hands of the employe remains government money, and there ean be
no intervention between the payer and reeeiver of the money prior
to payment. Recourse of anyone seeking to collect debt from an em
ploye must be thin other channels after the money has been paid over.
Attorneys quoted from the law which in several paragraphs
makes it clear that the railroad employes are to be considered as fed
eral government employes. As a mail clerk or carrier or other post
office employe cannot be garnisheed, or an army or navy officer, so
all railroad employes now are no longer subject to the garnishment
process.
The ar gardens, planted on Burl
ington company property this spring
by employes, are looking tine and
will help fill many cellars with pota
toes and other much needed eatables
this fall.
