and from the information before US at
this writing threatens to become still
more formidable. The trouble has arisen
from the last 10 per cent reduction in the
wages Of the men, which reduction was
decided on at meeting Of the directors
last Wednesday and went into effect on
Monday. The reduction affects every
employe or officer OF the company re.

man in the service OF the road save the
very commonest class OF labor.
The Baltimore road is unfortunate in
being the only one Of the trunk lines that
has thus far encountered serious trouble
with i,s employees in the matter Of these
reductions OF wages. There were rumors
few weeks ago that the Pennsylvania
road was TO be met with a similar resist
anee, but the threatening aspect Of affairs
passed away without a strike. Only a
few days ago the New York Central road
made 10 per cent reduction all along
Tia line, which was acluiesced in without
resistance. The Baltimore road is thus
left to bear the brunt alone Of formida.

ton upon the bridge with the purpose
ot throwing the train over into the creek,
