For a good while past the receipts OF
the Richmond and Danville Railroad Com
pany have shown heavy decrease. and
the management found It necessary TO
reduce expenses I'm every possible direc-
ton. This matter was taken up more
than two months ago. and many reduc-
tons OF forcs were made. but rs the
decrease in receipts continued it was found
necessary TO reduce salaries, and on Sep
tembor list the pay OF all officers receiving
800 per month and over was scaled 10. Is.
or % per cent. except with tralnmen such
as conductors and engineers.
Il was hoped that the wages OF these
trainmcn would not have 20 be reduced,
but il has since been found necessary TO
do so on account OF the continuance in
the falling of OF business. \ conference
was arranged with the trainmen and the
situation has been thoroughly explained
IN them. and after due consideration. they
agreed Yesterday with the officers OF the
road that from October lst the wages or all
such men receiving as much As $50 and not
over So per month should be reduced
per cent and all receiving over $50 per
month 10 per cent. The officers OF the
road as well as the men. regret thls
action but IL was forced 10y the duil times.
and the necessity FOR action or this knd
was realized as clearly by the employees
as by the officials.
