There VIII Be No Speedy Termination
of NJ. L. & Y. Suit.

Oficials of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas road do not expect any speedy
termination to the land suits they
have brought against the United
States government They expect the
questions at issue to be in the courts
for years. but they profess to believe
that in the end the government will
be compelled to fulfill its contracts
with the company.
In explanation of the matter they
say that the Missouri. Kansas & Texas
was the first road to build any lines
into Oklahoma and Indian Territory
In consideration of the many benefits
il conferred on these sections the gov
eminent gave the road a free right of
way 200 feet wide. and the promise
that the land would become the prop
erty of the railroad at the expiration
of the tribal existence of the Indians.
the original possessors of the soil.
1t IS now contended that this tribal
existence ceased many years ago,
when the law decided the red men
were not entitled to citizenship
Therefore. the road contends. it should
now be given title in fee and obtain
full possession of the land in question.
The tribes. it is argued. have lost their
identity The land is now owned by
individual Indians. but the government
is seeking TO keep the land from the
possession of the company. The suits
turn on the Interpretation Of the term

One Hundred Thousand Men
May Lose Jobs.
General Custer of Railway En-
plOyes Is at Hand.
LACK OF BUSINESS.
This Is Given as Reason for
Contemplated Reductions.
Other Items of Interest to
Railway People.

II is estimated that between $4,000
and 100000 men viii be thrown out of
. employment by the railroads Of the
country before the end of the first
week in June. Orders were issued some
time ago by the various railroad man
agements that by June the forces in
all departments must be reduced to a
minimum
Il is customary for the railroads TO
reduce their pay rolls at the beginning
of summer, when traffic is the lightest.
and to increase them again as the win
ter months arrive. This year the roads
have issued especially stringent econo-
my orders and il is stated the working
forces will be reduced to the lowest
possible point It is expected that dur
ing the summer the railroads will save
several million dollars in salaries and
in wages
The order on the New York Central
and on the Pennsylvania is peculiarly
stringent On the former road il is
stated that the pay rolls are to be re-
Guced fully one-third If the order
applies 20 departments and is carried
out strictly il would mean the discharge
of over 5000 employees on this system
alone The heaviest reduction Will be
in the operating department. however,
and in shops of the company
Thousands of clerks are also to be
nomenaI business which was done dur
ing the fall and winter and also during
the early spring is falling off rapidly.
Never before have the railroads had
such large clerical forces in the traffic
department and so many men per mile
of road in the operating and mainten-
aEce and the motive power depart
1lents. Accordingly the present sum-
mer will see the largest army of dis
charged ra iIway employees in the his
tory of steam transportation compan-
les In addition to the employees in
the regular service many thousands of
laborers are being discharged by the
railroads which have abandoned new
work and new extensions owing to the
difficulty of raising money.
Instead of gripping the operation of
the railroads. it is stated, the wholesale
discharge of men will insure better ser
vice. Owing to the unprecedented traf-
fic of the last few months thousands of
incompetent men were employed be-
cause no others were obtainable, and
it is not improbable that some of the
recent wrecks have been caused by this
fact Furthermore, railway manage
ments We're unable properly to disei-
pine careless employees because of the
necessity Of having every available
man at work
