RAILROADS
INCREASING
PAY ROLLS.
South AmbOy and This City Feels
the Result Of General
Prosperity.
10000 MEN RESTORED

The Now York Herald. Ibis morn
ing, gave an encouraging report OF
the conditions of the railroads in this
section Of the country, stating that
within the last six weeks about 20, 900
emploYes, who were dropped from
their payrolls few months ago, shave
been restored.
To ascertain what possible effect
this might have at South Amboy,
where work has been slack for some
time, tile Evening News interviewed
ID o. Chnse, shipping agent there.
He stated that during tho past eight
days sixty-seven men have been put
back at work and that within the
past five weeks, the car shops, which
had entirely closed uown, have been
reopeneG and are now running with
their usual force nf men This has
neen caused by the increased traffic
and as 1t continues to grow, more
men will he put on.
Concerning tile revival of work the
Herald says:
"The Pennsylvania Company, which
made the most sweeping reduction,
he's put back to work on its many
systems IL 900 men; the New York
Central has restored 600 more; the
Reading system. in the neighborhood
of 2,000, and the independent lines rs
many more. At every railroad head :
quarters in New York and Pbiladei-
sphia Yesterday the statement was,
Running on full TINE in every de-
partment, -or Will be running on full
time very soon +"
The Reading system includes the
Central railroad of New Jersey and
the Lehigh Valley. Concerning this
system the Herald says:
"The general conditions of the
country last summer had not affected
these companies as much as they had
the other great systems, the revival
was not felt so quickly. With anthra.
cite coal the bulk of the traffic of the
three roads, the revival in railroad
businesss came only indirectly. The
companies h I'd not felt the effect of
the trade conditions of the sun mer
so keenly, and therefore there was a
shorter step to be taken now"
Work on the Lehigh Valley docks
here has picked up and what men were
laid oil during the summer, have again
foan employment.
The Herald sums it oil up in the
following paragraph;
'The sudden revival of trade since
the election has directly ami indirect
ly favorably affected wages for hun
drads of thousands of persons.
