freight house of the road here. five men
have been relieved within the past few
months. The reduction in forces is gen-
eral all over the company's immense sys-
TENS. The Freeport Bulletin says:
At the ratio at which the force at this
station has been cut down during the
past few months man and boy will
soon be all that are left to attend to the
large business of the company. The st.
Paul has been cutting down expenses to
the last notch. and its employees are kept
constantly on the ragged edge. With
the taking OFF of several trains. the res
ducing of the force at the shops. and the
present adjustment of the night switch,
upwards of twenty-five FTeeporters have
been laid off during the past two months.
One man has also been taken out of the
freight office. Many of the employees have
been employed for a dozen years or more
and had deemed their positions certain
tY. To these men the blow falls serious |
ly. The recent action of the company in |
off percentage of the salary of |
each man on account OF the short strike |
on the line has also had tendency to
sour many persons against the company.
1t was certainly novel and effectuaI
means of fighting a strike, but is never.
The less very unjust to the employees who
we're in no wise responsible for the strike
