the family absolutely destitute. The
house consists of two small rooms, in
which are an invalid father, the moth

CUT ROUND HOUSE FORCE
Southern Pacific Reduces Number of
Employees and Other Trimming
Down Is Exuected.

The continued slump in railroad traffic
made itself felt here again yesterday
when gang of fifteen men were laid off
at the Southern Pacific round house for
an indefinite period The officials say
that this step was forced upon them on
account of the small number of engines
now required They say that they have
been holding larger force at work than
has been necessary for some time in the
hope that the traffic would again in
crease, but as this did not come about
they were compelled to lay off some of
the employees. The belief is that other
in the forces in both the
round house and the shops will follow
unless conditions improve materially at
once. Many of the employees are now
working a reduced number of hours.
which enables them to earn enough to
scantily provide for their families.
