A sweeping reduction in the number
Of brakemen employed on freight trains
by Colorado railroads will be made as a
result Of the new law requiri ng safety
couplers on all freight equipment. With
the new appliance it is figured that two
men are all that are necessary to make
up train and wherever third has been
used his services will be dispensed with.
The reduction will throw several hun
dred mon out OF work in this state. The
hardship is all the more to be regretted,
as it was by theii efforts that the law
requiring the safety appliance was
passed. No date has been set as 10
when the reduction in the force will be
made, but that it is only matter Of
time is conceded by all local railroad
managers.
