REDUCING THE TIME

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
livingston, Sept. a4.-A new order
which went into effect today at the North
ern Pacific shops will result in the re-
duction of one hour day in the time of
the 600 men employed there until further
notice.
1t has been the practice Of the North
crn Pacific each year to reduce the force
employed at the shops as the appropriation
for the employees use has become ex-
hausted. This year, however, it has been
determined to allow all of the men remain
at work and to bring about reduction
in expenses by reducing the time of the
men.
This method OF retrcnchment, therefore
has been started earlier than the usual re-
duction in force, but will prevent pcrccpt-
ible loss to the men in wages and at the
same time accomplish the necessary reduc-
expense to meet the appropriation.
