Railroad News. tn

Circulars which have been given
out by the Erie railroad company
have reached this city, which ask
for competent mechanics and shop
men, who are willing to accept work
on the road for a reasonable length
of time. The officials state that
they would much prefer that their
men should sign up with the com
pany, permanently.
This action on the part of the
Erie shows the return of good
times once more and It will be
a boon to those workmen in this
city. who are at present without
work. The company has In the
past been muchN disabled by the
lack of competent men. since the
machinists strike last spring.
'rhe various railroads :. OF the
country are at present much en-
barassed by the expense of return
ing borrowed cars to their owners :.
During the present decline in bust
ness great numbers of empties were
necessarily shipped back to their
owners, entailing an expense of
millions OF dollars. If the business
of the roads had remained as pros
porous as formerly the cars would
have been exchanged in traffic as
is the usual custom but during the
financial trouble the empty cars
were taken to their owners. This
action always brings much expense
to the road without remuneration.
A meeting is to be held at st.
Louis in February to consider the
matter.
