CANNOT KEEP LABORERs.
As Fast as Central Branch Gets Them
They Desert to Farms.


Downs, Kan, Nov. 16.-The Cen
trail Branch Railroad company is hav-
ing trouble securing men to lay new
steel on its line west of Downs. The
men brought here by the company
work a few days and then desert to
find work on farms.
When the work was commenced the
railroad paid SIPS day of which
amount $3.50 was held out each week
for board. Counting out the days
they were unable to work on account
of bad weather, this sum left them
barely enough to buy tobacco. and the
men disappeared as fast as they could
ship them in. Now the company has
raised the wages to s1.75 per day and
it looks like they will have to come
up another notch if they expect to
keep the required number in the gang.
The average laborer in this country
does not have any trouble in drawing
50 per day, and a good corn picker
can even beat that and have his board
and lodging thrown in.
