cat chuckers' have had time to reach
their places of abode long before the
felines have solved their various and
intricate problems of direction, and
that player whose animal is first to
arrive is declared winner.

cad FOR THE MEN.
Railroad Presidents Agree to Reduce
Number Of Employees Largely in All
penartrn entr.


A telegram from the New York says
that an original agreement now ex-
lists among the great railroad com.
panies OF the United States for the
purpose of shaping the policy to be
pursued in making retrenchments and
reducing FORCES of employees, Just as
there was an understanding in re-
gard to advancing wages during the
last two years. This statement is
made on the authority of man lden-
led with leading corporation.
While no formal association exists,
because such body would he con.
trary to the interstate commerce law,
there is a compact which is binding
on all of the members. Its primary
object Is to zeal with the labor prob
lens. so that employees OF one railroad
cannot use another road as a club q
bring the first named into subsection
II the men rebelIed now they would
find themselves running up against a
stone wall.
The word has gone forth on all
large railroads that retrenchments
are to be made in certain lines where
the companies can most easily re-
duce forces--such as car shops, repair
shops, maintenance of way depart
ment and Improvement corps. BY
laying men on instead OF reducing
wages, those who remain cannot wei
find any fault, although, to be sure
ut x.ttD IN a.
work than they did before. The re-
duction OF forces Will go on for some
time, ali departments in turn being
taken up. The results will be much
the same as II wages were cut, for IL
matters little whether a railroad with
wage list of $1,000 900 lays on one
tenth OF its men. resulting in a reduc
ton to $500, 900, or makes reduc'
ton OF 100000 in wages of its men
and allows all of them to remain Per.
haps less work will be done after the
forces are reduced, but 1t is the poll.
cy of all of the companies to continue
operations on just as large scale az
traffic warrants.
James ]. Hill's conference with the
Pennsylvania railroad officials In
Philadelphia this week was primarily
in regard to the .aDor problem and
the policy to be pursued in making
retrencnments. Reductions in wages
will be made later, II business condi-
tions warrant IL; but leading railroad
men would much prefer to keep up
wages as long as possible. The poll.
cy of reducing wages will not genar.
ally be tried by the railroads until af.
ter Industrial corporations have led
the way.
