REPORT DENIED.
No Wholesale Dismissal of Clerks
bv Southern RAILWAY.

The report published in a local news
paper yesterday to the effect that $50
clerks of the Southern railroad are to be
discharged tomorrow evening and that
there is to be a wholesale reduction in
the salaries Of others was emphatically
denied in a statement today by Mr.. A. H.
Plant, controller of the railroad.
Mr.. Plant said: 1T Is true some Of the
clerks are to be dismissed Saturday night,
but the number is only about one-half of
the $50 stated in the newspaper yesterday
and these are clerks who were taken on
several months ago to do extra work, and
in almost all Of the cases when they were
employed they were told that the posi-
lions were temporary.
"Since the beginning of the rate legis-
lation several months ago it has been
necessary for the company to furnish con-
siderable data and collect numerous fig
ures relative to it's business. and to dc
this 1t was necessary to get a new set of
clerks. as the others in the employ OF
the company had their own work to do.
Now that the work has been completed
and as we have no further use for those
on the temporary rolls, we notified them
that their employment would cease Sat
| urday.
LAS in all large concerns this company
of accounting and in several instances
| the clerks have had their salaries reduced
but not on the wholesale plan.
"As to the frightening of the working
hours, that is also false. Several years
ago it was decided to give the clerks a
half holiday Saturdays during the sum-
mer months, and later they were dis
| missed at 1 o'clock throughout the year
while they only worked until o'clock or
other week days. Now that the work has
| increased the half holiday Saturdays dur.
| ing the winter has been abolished and
| the clerks will work until o'clock.
"1f, In the future, there are demands
! for data which will necesitate the increas.
| ing o. the force we will do so, and when II
| is completed the temporary clerks, as be-
| fore will be dismissed. We have beer
doing this at intervals for some time
past"

lieving the currency strkgency under such circumstances as have occurred recently. Mir. Aldrieh stated at the conclusion oi the conference nothing definite had been decided upon.
 The president has been in receipt of many communications from all parts , of the country urging him to recOm- mend special plans for relieving the money stringency. He outlined many of these and Mir. Aldrich gave his views freely on all. He explained to the president the obstacles to the va rious proposed measures and partic- ularly impressed upon him the neces- sity for a careful consideration of the subject, and showed if the emergency arises it will be necessary to carefully guard the security that should be giv- en for such currency as may be is- sued.
 { He explained that if it were left to the bankers of the various communi- ! ties to decide when 10 put out an emergency circulation there would be difficulties ahead of a very serious nature. It will be necessary to pro- vide the conditions under which such emergency circulation should be call 1 ed in. Without such precautions the iquestion would arise whether the treasury department or the bankers or both, had the power to put out and withdraw the emergency circulation. An interesting phase of the conference was that the president had no par ticular plan of his own to urge and simply was trying to settle in his own
 mind in regard to the various sug- gestions brought to his attention. The president appeared hopeful of better ing the present conditions but did not appear to apprehend that congress would be induced to rush into any particular scheme of legislation.
