Shawnee, May 14-While in this ci-

manager Of the Rock Island lines for
Oklahoma discussed matters with great
frankness with reference to the pres.
ent half closed condition OF the Rock
Island shops here and at other places
Nor did he hold out any hopes that
there would be complete resumption
Of business before July 1, next He
stated that the company was forced
through financial reasons to exercise
the greatest possible economy. The
fiscal year will close July i, closing
with six months that will show a de-
cided decrease over the year before.
He stated that the decrease would
amount to Approximately 20 per cent.
The interest payments Of the com
pany fall due on July / and every
possible effort is being made to meet
them
After that date the officials Of the
company were expecting to resume
business upon the old basis, with a
full complement Of men.
II was the view Of the Rock Island
management that while business has
been slack for some time past, never
theless. there was good reason to be-
lieye that the year would end with as
good business condition as ever, If not
better. Therefore, It is to be hoped
that many long delayed Improvements
win be begun and carried out as quick
ly as possible after the tide has turned.
Mr. Tinsman also took pains TO state
that SO far as he was aware, and SO
far as was known BY any Of the officials
in Oklahoma there was no reason to
apprehend trouble between the com
pany and it's employees, and that no
attempt was to be made to introduce

It is good news TO receive the assur
ance Of man in Mr. Tinsman's posi-
