more & Ohio railroad President futile
announced Thursday a cut in salaries OF
10 per cent of all employees in the service
of the Boston & Maine who receive over
500 a month. The order applies only
to those employed upon weekly, semi
monthly or monthly rating and about
1000 men will be affected. The reason
given for the cut is the general business
depression
The railroad shops at Lyndonville re-
duced their time last week by shutting
down Friday night for the rest of the
week and cutting of three hours in adj
dition through the week. The falling
off of local freight this winter has neces-
STATED the withdrawal of one way
freight between Lyndonville and Wells
River. This is the only reduction in the
train service since the general depression
began and the through freight has not
been much affected by the situation.
