Special 70 The Washington Herald.
Richmond. Va. Feb. 2O-Judge Jeter
c. Pritchard. OF the United States Circuit
Court. to-day placed himself upon record
as being opposed TO the proposed reduc-
ton in wages Of the employees OF the Sea-
board Air Line Railway. Judge Pritchard
was in conference on the subject with
counsel OF the receivers to-day He de-
clared he was anxious that there should
be no reduction In the salaries of the
employees of the road.
He requested that the receivers and the
chief executive OF the road meet him in
this city in me near future for the pur-
pose OF further considering the matter
and arriving at some conclusion.
The receivers now in charge Of the
road are the appointees OF Judge
Pritchard. The proposed reduction is
along the general line OF retrenchment
which has been adopted by all roads IN
view of the money stringency. II is pro-
posed to curtail the expenses OF operation
10 the minimum, this curtailment TO en-
brace a reduction OF a considerable per
cent from the present wages or each and
every employe.
II is probable that the opposition OF
Judge Pritchard 10 the movement will
be sufficient to influence the receivers
