The earnings OF the great Pennsyl-
vania railroad system decreased more
than $4,000 in 1894 as compared
with the prosperous fines Of 1892 This
is an index to the universal falling of
in business. Aud how such decrease
affects the laboring man Is shown
by the fact that the employees OF the
Pennsylvania road paid more than
S13, 900 Of the loss of business by
reason Of the reduction of operating
expenses all along the line-principally a
cutting Of wsgsS or discharge Of men.
