San Bernardino Officials Deny That
More shopmen Are Needed.

According to officials of the Santa Fe
there has been a mistake made in the
report that the company is employing
a much larger force at the shops. says
the San Bernardino Times-Index. This
morning the Times-1ndex was requested
to publish the statement that the men
who are now being employed are mere
ly taking the places of men who have
resigned and that no larger force will
be put on. 1t appears that the officials
have been flooded with applications
from all over the country, and there are
many mechanics in the east ready to
leave good places under the delusion
that they will find immediate employ
ment here. This correction has been
sent to various eastern dailies, in an eff
fort to prevent an exodus to this city,
where the new men would find them
selves and families stranded.
