We 1ud this In the Kansas City Times:-
eft Is ruinored that all the railroads west of
the Missouri river will reduce the wsges OF
employees. The order will apply not only TO
one class Of employees. but to NIL classes from
engineers and firemen down to yardmen.
This rumOred reduction 10, II IL claimed, the
result OF The heavy falling of Of freight and
passenger earnings OF the past year. The
roads haze not snotlflet ala Hs1s list THAR

t1Afion OF this kind. us our readers know.
some two weeks ago, but we still hope that
the impending reduction Of wages may not
take place. We are prepared to admit that
the railroads have had q hard time for II year
or more, but they have pulled through that.
There never was q finer prospect for q crop
on earth than Missouri has to-day. Wheat
10 exceptionally fine. the ground for corn 10
breaking up beautifully and much more Is
planted than is usual at this time. The land
r. well wetted. 30 that 3 drouth Is neither 40
Imminent. nor 80 likely to be harmful II Il
does come. Fruit simply promises to be
superabundant. This will make a large ton
mage, to which must be added the fresh
impetus to be gwen to western business by
the Oklahoma settlement and other causes.
No people on earth more thoroughly earn
every dollar they receive than do the en-
pioyes of the railroads Of the country, they
are up early and late, their occupation Is
sxtra-hazardous, and In many Instances
brings exposure and irregular hours. We
should, therefore, dislike to see these hard
working people cut down In their meager
pay Just on the eve Of q revival Of business.
Give the boys a chance a little longer before
turning on the screws, and we feel sure they
will appreciate 1t. aud show their gratitude
70 the management should occasion require.
