Manager FOgie Re-EmplOys About
Three-FOurths of His Men,

Three-EOurthS OF His Men,
The entire clerical force at the
Thresher company's Office, discharged
Friday evening, presented themselves
yesterday morning as applicants for
their old positions. Something over
three-fOurths of them were re-emplOyed,
but at reduced salaries. Manager
8 Fogle says all that he desired to retain
save one will stay and the cut in that
ones salary was SO sweeping that he
could not be expected to remain. ''He
iStOo good man and worth too much
money for any position / had to offer
him." said Mr.. FOgle. ''It has been an
unpleasant task for me, but one which
was imperatively demanded by the
eXigencies of the case if the works are
to- be managed Oh correct business
principles. The success of the institu-
tiOn is what we are after" There were
few changes in the shop force and only
with foremen; The general expression
among the Office force is that they have
been treated cOurteously by the new
manager and cannot condemn his action
in the premises.
The union station matter remains at
Standstill. Mrs. Rheiner's attorney
was over yesterday, but the proposition
made by the transfer company was not
accepted by her. On Monday Judge
McCluer will hear arguments as to the
rights of proprietOrs of land to obstruct
the running of trains. There will be
an appeal to the supreme court from the
decision, whatever it may be, in all
probability, which will cause further
delay. There is nothing to prevent
trains, however, from entering the
union station by way of Water street,
and the latter course may yet be
adopted if no satisfactory settlement
can be made.
