THE SITUATION AT THE SHOPS.
Reports have been flying around to the
effect that number of men were this
morning Installed at work in The different
departments Of the Wabash shops at this
place. Not being satisfied with the Contra
dictions IS to the number a Monitor repre-
sentative visited them TO find out the truth
OF the matter. The greatest COURTESY was
extended to him by the foreman of the
differeat departments when his mission
was made known.
10 the machinist's quarters but bare one
machinist was at work, with three or four
helpers at various kinds OF other work.
In the paint shop but one man was at
work. The car shops are working about
twenty men, sll ted, and this statement
was corroborated by every man questioned
on the subject and also by actual observa-
ton. This comprises several minor de-
partmeuts, in each of which from three to
q half dozen men were ut work. This is
exclusive OF clerks. The engines are run
ming, which gives the place the semblance
of work until you get on the inside, when
one is struck with the quietness Of a place
where hundreds of men may be employed
and find plenty to do.
In the yards are about six hundred cars,
three hundred and fifty of which are SER
viceable and ready for use, but are known
IS detained cars. The others, about two
hundred and fifty, are disabled. About
lhirty.five engines are to be seen. eighteen
DR. twenty of which are in use. The others
are either disabled or dead.
Lsborers in the yards are also scarce,
md would probably run the number of |
men employed in aud around the yards, |
inside and outside the shops, to thirty.
