Current is drawn separately through the +15V and -15V supplies. So 
you could have 30 mA drawn from +15V and 20 mA drawn from -15V. I 
suppose if a module draws the same amount from each supply that this 
could be annotated as "+-15 V 15 mA" meaning that it draws 15 mA from 
each supply for 30 mA total.
