traffic on the Santa Fe tracks which
are used jointly by the Southern and

roads and in the summer time this is
considerably increased by specials and

Army of Additional Employees.

Among the items of increased cost
in the operation OF railways not pub
licly known Is the large number of
additional employees required. The
payrolls OF the railways now carry
over 100000 more names than they
did ten years ago, and that this is not
wholly on account of increased mile
age is shown b. the fact that the num-
her of employees per lille of track has
increased nearly Is per cent during
that period. When this increase In
number Is taken into account and add.
ed to the Increased rate In wages II
Is not strange that the railroads
should feel the burden. This item is
wholly apart from what is known as
construction work. the men employed
in that work not being carried on the
operating rolls. The large amount
thus disbursed by the railroads Is In
no small decree responsible for the
general prosperity Of the country
Abundant wages form the handspring
Of many industries, and Is second only
to good crops In promoting CONNER
cial welfare. Should the time come
when railroads, because of decreasing
revenues. are compelled to reduce the
wages. the effect will be very much
wider than the immediate circle Of
railroad employees.
