The distracting headaches from which
so many women suffer make life daily
migratory. IF men suffered with head
ache as women do, business would be
almost at a stanstill. Does not the fact
that men do not suffer from these severe
headaches suggest that there must be
womanly cause for them?
When the womanly organism is dis
eased, headache, backache, nervousness
and sleeplessness are consequences which

with the machinists to the effect that
1t would reduce the hours in their de.
partment in preference to discharg-
ing men. 1t followed the agreement
by first cutting the working hours and
later laid OF the necessary number
OF men.
It was yesterday learned that the
cut in hours which went into effect
here Thursday extended through the
shops Of the entire Santa Fe eystem.
This policy was agreed upon at a con.
ference held at Santa Barbara three
weeks ago between President Ripley
and the various heads Of the depart
ments OF the Santa re.
The Santa Fe Is not alone in its de-
sire to reduce expenses. The Denver
& Rio Grande company cut the num-
Der of hours and made a reduction in
the force in their shops some eight
months ago, and nearly all the rail-
roads in the country have done the
same In the past few months.-San

%currence.
THE men know that work In our
department has been very slack for
the past several weeks, and / think
that the majority Of them do not
blame the company for cutting the
force" said a local machinist last
evening. Or coulye it is hard to be
discharged. but then some one has
to 80 at such times, and most Of the
boys take q practical view Of the sit
uation."
The inquiry has been made as to
why the company cut the hours and
then followed up this action by lay
ing off men in the machine shop. II
is stated that the double course was
taken for two reasons First, because
the company wished to take the fair
est means Of reducing expense, and
secondly, because 1t had a contract

Seventy-four men employed in the

with the reduction brought about BY
the cutting Of hours. this will Q a
saving Of almost $40. 900 per month
in the local shop pay roll.
The men discharged included forty.
Ave machinists, receiving 3s cents an
hour each and twenty-nine machinist
helpers, whose pay ranged from $3.50
10 s2.25 per day.
Averaging the helpers wages at ~
a day, the monthly decrease in wages
in the department will amount to q
little over $3.50.
As has been figured in the columns
OF the Sun, the cut In hours reduced
the pay roll by $4,000. and the add.
tion Of the two sums gives q total
saving TO the santa Re Of approx
mately. s2O,45O Il month.
On the other hand, the hours of the
car department men, which were re-
duced from ten to eight In the general
cut which occurred Thursday, Will be
raised 20 nine hours, this schedule
going into effect tomorrow morning.
This change will add about $1,000 a
month 70 the %company's expense. And
80, after a process Of subtraction and
addition, one finally arrives at the
conclusion that, up to date. the Santa
re has made up It's mind to save, in
approximate figures s1s,5Oo a month
on its local monty pay roll.

Argument Over Freight Rates.

President u. r. Ripley of the Santa
re, replying to a letter recently writ
ten by Abbott Kinney In which the
latter gives III detail what he believes
to be the causes Of the decentralization
of the orange industry, discusses I'M.
proper cars, poor service, high freight
rates and exorbitant icing charges.
President Ripley maintains that the
cars in use by his road are the equal
Of any to be obtained. He denies
that the service has been poor gener.
ally speaking. but admits that al
times there have been delays.
Regarding the high freight rates
charged, President Ripley states that
cost of operation makes 1t imperative
on the railroads to charge the pres.
ent rates. He insists that there is
no great amount Of profit in the icing
Of refrigerator cars as was claimed BY
Kinney. In brief, the Santa Fe pres
ident says that good service is being
given at as low rates as is possible
under the circumstances.
Abbott Kinney, in reply to Mr.. Rip
ley, states that the service is poor
and that an agreement between he
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
has resulted In a division Of the or
ange business and slower time In
reaching the eastern market. He also
states that there Is a large profit &C,

icing of cars.
