Traffic Too Great.

Philadelphia, Oct. 29.-Rumors that
the Pennsylvania railroad viii lay off
between 10000 and 10000 men were to-
day denied by high officials of the COM
pany. The following statement was
given out at the company's offices:
There is no truth in the statement
that 10000 men were to be discharged
by the Pennsylvania Railroad compa-
ny. Nothing of the kind has even been
discussed. In view of the fact that the
traffic for October is II per cent great
er than for the same month last year,
which would make the movement for
the month the largest in the history
of the company. any material reduction
in the forces would not be practicable"

THOUSANDS Of
men LOSE JOBS
Every Piece of Construction
Work on the Union Pacific
Abandoned for Present.
LESS BUSINESS EXPECTED
THEN MANY TRAIN CREWS WILL
BE LAID OFF.

Omaha, Oct 29.-The Union Pacific
railroad today discharged between 1000
and 5000 workmen from the construc-
ton department, and every piece of
construction work on the entire system
is abadOned.
The Lane cutoff. west of Omaha.
which has cost So zoo, eco and three
years work. and which would have
been finished in fifteen days, has been
abandoned. The work has ceased on
all roads in Kansas and along the Kan
sas division, including the new line be-
tween Topeka and Lincoln, Neb.
The work on the new shops in Omaha
has been temporarily abadoned.
None of the operating force has been
discharged, and probably will not be
for some time. On this point General
Superintendent Park says:
I'VE expect a curtailment of business,
and as fast as this occurs we will lay
off train crews. For the present this
will not be done. Our orders are TO
dispense with every available man ana
TO stop every piece of construction
work on the whole system. We are
ordered TO cut expenses III every pos
sible way"
These orders came from New York,
but the officers would not say who is
sued them. f. H. Hartman is the only
official of the Union Pacific higher than
Omaha officials.
Wrong Motive Applied.
Vice President and General Manager A.
l.. Mohler of the Union Pacific this att
ernoon declared that there is a lot of I'M
necessary sensation over the reduction
I'm track forces which necessarily takes
place at this season of the year on ac-
count of the shorter hours and cold
weather.
1--WE have been doing an exceedingly
large amount of improvement work" eX-
planned Mr.. Mohler and have put our
property in the best physical condition it
has ever known. Therefore the oppor-
tunity for reducing forces earlier than
usual has been acted upon, and on ac-
count of the present national conditions
unquestionably a wrong motive has been
applied.
I'VE are only doing that which comes
from natural conditions and in line with
the general practice of all railroads at
this season of the year
I'VE are continuing all Improvement
work which can be done to advantage,
and which we can utilize. and work
which cannot be carried on at normal
expense will be discontinued"
Denied in New York.
New York. Oct at the office of the
Union Pacific Railway company in this
city there was prompt denial of the
accuracy of the telegram from Omaha
announcing that ali construction work on
the entire system had been abandoned.
1t was said that a discharge of en-
ployes always took place on Nov. /. aft
er the construction work of the summer
was ended, because construction work i'll
winter was much more expensive, and
that this year the number of men dis
charged was greater only because the
amount of construction work done du-
ring the summer had been greater. No
curtailment of business is looked for, but
rather an increase.

even in representative exhibition some
canvases might readily be let out and not
be missed. But what are here are good.

The first impression upon entering the

collection. No one will deny them distinc-

justice to the man who has himself done
more to advance and influence the present
art of Germany than any other painter.
Lenbach was born in upper Bavaria in
1926 and died in Munich In 1904 He was
the intimate friend of Bismarck. and though
a carpenter in his youth, the associate of
kings. He lived unostentatiously, but In
