U. P. SHOP FORCE REDUCED.
Sixty-fve Men Discharged in Order to
Give Longer Hours to Those
Remeiuinc.

Kansas City, Kan, Aug Sixty
five employees of the Union Pacific shops
here were yesterday discharged. The
reduction of the force was made in ac-
cordance with an order issued from the
general Office. Another order was is
sued giving the remaining men longer
hours.
The reduction of the force is not a
stroke of economy nor an indication Of
a falling off in work. For some time
the men at the shops have been work
ing five days in the week, eight hours
to the day. By the new order the re-
naming employees will work four nine
hour days a week and four hours on
Saturdays. This gives the men more
work and will consequently increase
their earnings. Heretofore it is claim
ed that the company lost many good
men because they could not afford to
work under the old schedule, as the
hours were not sufficient to permit them
to make enough money The company,
so 1t is claimed, decided to reduce the
force and thus increase the working
hours Of those retained.

NO PLACE FOR POOR MEN
In the Philippines-Can't Stand Work
In That Climate.

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-With view
to obtaining reliable information re-
garding the agriculture and other
wealth producing possibilities of the
Philippines the Call has interviewed a
large number of the Oregon volunteers
whose long stay on the islands afforded
them excellent opportunities for obser-
walton. Most of the troops believe that
the land of the Philippines is well
adapted for American agriculture with
the exception of the cultivation OF
wheat, but they add that nearly all of
the agricultural land and certainly the
best Of it is in possession of the church
authorities and would have to be pur-
chased by intending settlers.
The soldiers of the Oregon regiment
are almost to a man in emphatic OPP
position even to the suggestion of max
ing natives of the Philippines. citizens
of the United States although the opin-
ion seems to prevail that American
labor laws could advantageousIy be put
in operation on the islands. AS for
Americans working in the Philippines
the soldiers declare that it is utterly
out of the question. The heat is too
intense and the climate generally too
enervating. The Philippines they say
are the last lands on the earth for poor
men to seek with a. purpose of improv-
ing their conditions.
