himself, as the law does not allow him
to kill the birds now, and he under
stands that all game animals and birds
are owned by the state; therefore he
has to look to the state for pay.

About 1000 Men to Be Laid OF In
Philadelphia Freight Yards.

Philadelphia, May 1G.-By June 1t
Is expected that nearly 1000 men will,
be laid off temporarily in the Pennsyl.
vania freight yards in and around
Philadelphia.
Most Of these men are extras, having
been put on to aid in breaking the
freight congestion The Pennsylvania
lines east of Pittsburg are cleared Of
congestion now, and this fact, in con-
nection with a decrease in general
freight business, necessitates a TEN
porary reduction of the force.
The use of the West Philadelphia
elevated to Greenwich Point works to
the advantage of the company in the
number of men employed. Besides
reducing the force of the freight de-
partment, a large number of men will
also be taken away from construction
and maintenance crews.
This reduction in forces is along the
old retrenchment lines Of the Pennsyl-
tania. A director Of the company
laid that retrenchments are and will
continue to be made in all depart
ments.
