DISCUSSING REDUCTIONS.

For some time past the question Of a
general reduction of salaries of the en-.
ployes of the whole Union Pacific sys-
TEN has been under consideration. both
by the managers of the road and the
employees. The situation has been pretty
thoroughly understood, but 1t was con
cluded that meeting with the men
and managers would be Il good thing.
Accordingly meeting was held at the
headquarters of the company, at which
representatives Of the Order of Rail-
way Conductors, Brotherhood of Rail
union the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers. Brotherhood Of Locomotive Fire
men, knights OF Labor and the FEEDER
atcd Machinery Constructors of the
Union Pacific met with Mr.. Mcconnell,
superintendent Of motive power and ma
chinery.
Mr.. Dickinson has always been hope
full that a reduction In salaries would not
be needed but business has not picked
up TO the extent desired and the outlook
Il not very favorable at present. He had
deferred the col ference as long as posi-
ble with the hope that something would
Intervene that would change the exist
ing conditions so that reduction would
not he necessary. His hopes, however,
have failed and be has reluctantly called
Tie conference Of his men looking TO a
discussion OF the problems that confront
the system.
Fair and impartial. having come mp
from the ranks, Mr. Dickinson realized
what a cut IN salaries meant, and he
didn't prnpose TO make q reduction unless

George Crossett Tries in Vain to Take
His Life.
George R. Crossett, the young man
who was employed at the Bradbury resi-
dence as waiter and attempted suicide
in the coach ouse there two months
ago, Is now in the county jail awaiting
his examination upon a charge OF in
sanity.
Two days ago. at Catalina, Crossett
made two desperate attempts at suicide,
in one instance by drowning and the
other by hanc ing.
While in the city Jail recovering from
the effects of his first unsuccessful at
tempt, Crossett told story of illtreat-
ment and abuse, which he alleged as the
motive for his attempt at self-destruc-
tion.
At the county Jail yesterday Crossett
repeated the same story, saying also
that since being discharged he had been
unable to find employment.
He will probably be examined tomor-
row.
