Son their right to represent these

pie obey the law. The legal ma

as high as any dividend which the
road had paid on its common stock
up to 1906.
Recentiy the question of a general
reduction OF wages was discussed
Letween the employees and officials
OF the road. The employees pointed
With much force to the fact that
their expenses of living had in
creased at greater ratio than their
wage scale in the past decade and
that now the larger portion of the

Just to demand a reduction.
The employees were right in their
Contention, for the road could bet
ter afford to operate without anv
profit to the holders of it's common
s,oek for awhile than the laboring
man could afford to work on half

characterized by defalcations. forgeries.

utes Of the State.
The offenders, in the opinion of the re-
ceivers, have been allowed 10 go un-
punished so that the bank might avoid
exposures which might lead 10 more
