Washington, d, c., Jan. %. No
estimates will be given out by the
Southern railway office In Washing
ton as to the amount that will be saw
ed to the company by the recent re.
duction of 10 per cent In the salaries
OF the executive officers OF the road
and their clerical forces.
1t may DO stated, however, that the
saving on the salaries OF the general
oficers Of the road and their clerical
forces.
It may be stated, however, that the
saving on the salaries OF the general
Of1cers alone Will be nearly $4,000,
This sum probably represents only
about onetenth OF what will be cut
or from other salaries all down the
line. The effect OF the retrenchment
will be felt from Washington TO
Greenville, Miss. and from Memphis
to Jacksonville, Fla.
The boys In the shop have already
got theirs, and the diplomacy which
ttas characterized this latest move
by which the president and his stan
have their own salaries Topped of.
may prepare the clerical force OF the
road for what Is TO come.
The reduction in the salary OF Pres
ident W. W. Finley amounts to $4,000
per annum. but after Feb. he will
have his pay envelope locked 10 per
cent each month just to keep the boys
company.
The salaries OF the other leading
officials OF the road will be treated
accordingly.
