 Northern Pacific Beneficial Association for hospital dues, the 

 reason will be stated on the roll; when the name of an em- 

 ployee appears on two or more rolls, deduction will be made 

 but once and reference given to the number of the roll and

 laborers boarding in section houses, boarding cars or boarding 

 camps; it will not be necessary to take orders. Orders should, 

 however, be taken for all board deductions from other em-
