. While without doubt garnishment
proceedings constitute a serious .annoy
ance to iailroad officials , it is more than
questionable if the rules in force j > n so " tne
roads providing for the dismissal of em- '
ployes on whose account such proceed
ing are instituted are either wise or just.
Railroad employes as a class live i > p to
their income , ( and which bj' the way , is
none too large ) , so that when they have
the misfortune to lose their situation for
a period they necessarily become in
volved in debt. Naturally each creditor
desires to obtain his particular pay as
soon as possible , and so it happens that
upon obtaining re-employment garnish
ment proceedings are apt to be institut
ed , and if the rule adopted by many
roads of making a discharge the penalty
for three garnishments the effect is sim
ply to add to the embarrassment which
already attaches to the individual. Fur
ther than this , the existence of such a
rule is taken advantage of by disreputa
ble collection agencies and others who
deal in doubtful claims , to enforce the
collection of an mnount which could not
be obtained by other means. Some
roads , appreciating the injustice likely
to be thus engendered , have abolished
the rule and others where it is still re
tained exercise considerable discretion
in its enforcement. In decrying the sys
tem it is not intended to offer au3' de
fence on behalf of those employes who
habitually decline to pay their just obli
gations , but it is submitted that any rule
to be effective must be enforced , and to
enforce such a rule is to perform an in
justice.It is not difficult to distinguish
between the circumstances attaching to
garnishment proceedings , and if an em
ploye habitually disregards his obliga
tions and thereby becomes a continuing
annoyance to a road , he should be dis
charged with or without rule. On the
other hand , a rule that is of such a char
acter as to require violation in order to
be just should be abrogated. It would
, seem , therefore , that no valid reason ex
ists for the maintenance of such a regula
tion and it is to be hoped that all roads
having such a rule will abolish it.
