SAVES 10000 PEE MONTE.
Santa Fe Lets Out "A Men at San
Bernardino Shops.

Bernardino Shops.
Speaking of the big cut in the Santa
F'e shop force in that city. the San
Bernardino sun says.
Seventy-fOur men employed in the
Santa Fe's local machine shop were
given their time yesterday afternoon,
quitting with the o'clock whistle
With the reduction brought about by
the cutting of hours, this will mean a
saving of almost $4,000 per month in
the local shop pay roll
The men discharged included forty
five -nachinists. receiving % cents an
hour each. and twenty-rine Tnachinist
helpers, whose pay ranged from $1.9O
10 sos Der day.
The machinists have called a meet
ing which will convene It 10 o'clock
this morning. It is presumed that it
IS for the purpose Of discussing the
layofr, although there is no Indication
that the men will take any radical
action as result of yesterdays oe-
currence-
The men know that work in our
department has been very slack for
the past several weeks, and 1 think
that the majority of them do not blame
the company for cutting the force, ="
said a local maehinist last evening
or course It is hard to be discharged,
but then some one has to go at suen
times, and most of the boys take q
practical view of the situation"
Inc inquiry mas been made as 10 why
the company cut the hours and then
followed UP this action by laying off
men in the machine shop It is stated
that the double course was taken for
two reasons. First, because the COM
pany wished to take the fairest means
of reducing expense; and second, be-
cause it had a contract with the ma
chinists to the effect that II would re-
duee the hours in their department in
preference tc diseharging men. II fol-
lowed 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 F7e system.
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
mnts Of the Santa Fe
The Santa F'e is not alone in its de-
sire to reduce expenses. The Denver
& Rio Grande company cut the number
OF hours and made a reduction in the
force in their shops some eight months
( aog, and nearly all the railroads in the
country have done the same in the past
few months
