time last year, and indications are now
that the present force will be largely in
creased before the new year. The South
ern Pacific company is working a full
force in it's machine shops here, and
officers of the Southern California rail-
way report that more hands are working
in their shops at San Bernardino now
than at any time during the last five
years. The additional help is necessi-
tated by the recent heavy increase in
east bound freight and west-bound pas
|senger business. When the quarantine
lis raised at New Orleans against the
Southern Pacific railroad, freight traffic
will be unusually large for several
weeks, and more train crews will have
to be put to work. The moving of the
approaching orange crop will also be the
means of still increasing business, and
prospects are now that both the large
roads entering this city will do greater
volume of business during the coming
winter than ever before in their his
tory. The following has been the aver
age monthly payroll of three railroads
in this city during the past three
