Officials Of the Southern Railroad are
straining a point to have much OF the

creased force has been ordered to work

Are Employees Overworked?

Complaints are coming into the head
quarters of the Southern Railroad from
employees who assert they are being
overworked, and in some of these com
plants it is said that several recent &C
cidents have been due to the exhaustion
of the engineers and fremen. When
asked about the matter the officers of
the road denied the stories of overwork.
One of them remarked, however, that
the business of the system had grown
so rapidly that rolling stock was going
north and south night and day.
Engines, freight, and passenger cars
are being worked as they never were
before" said be. This, though. is a
condition every railroad in the country
would like to complain about. The
growth of the business of the Southern
in the last six years has been phe-
nomenal. This is. of course, due to the
extraordinary development which is
going on in the South. AS to the en-
ployes, they have no reason to com
plain. No one is overworked. We have
plenty of men and all are well paid"
That the officer is truthful in his de-
scription of the growth of the Southern
is abundantly proven by trip from
Washington to Atlanta. Nearly all the
new cotton mills in the central parts
of North and South Carolina and Geor-
gia are being constructed on this rail-
road line Dozens of small villages are
springing up. and not a city or town is
passed but structures are seen rearing
their new or partly COMPLETED walls
among the old buildings.

Another War on Scalpers.

War between the railroads and the
ticket scalpers has broken out in New
Orleans. as 1t usually does when some
great convention obtains reduced rail-
road rates. The rate to New Orleans
is one of the lowest made by the rail-
roads in years, and the tickets have
aroused the cupidity of the sca1per. The
plan to have purchasers register with
the agents in New Orleans. leave their
ticket with him and have him counter
sign it when ready to start North has
not met with favor. The New Orleans
and Northeastern Railroad applied to
the civil district court of New Orleans
for an injunction restraining the scalp
ers from dealing in the tickets The
case came up before three judges sit
ting in three separate divisions of the
court and all refused the writs.
All the trunk lines then took the mat
ter up and carried it To the supreme
court of the Crescent City. A decision
IS expected tomorrow. The encampment
begins Tuesday.
