There has been considerable Of re-.
duction In the working force at the Santa
Fe round house during the last week, on
account Of the changes made by the new
time card which routes the through
frieghts over another line. The change
was bound to make reductions for time,
and II was expected that they would be
quite noticeable for couple Of months,
until things have time to readjust them
selves, II as a great many believe, the
local business and the Denver business,
can be developed to an amount nearly
double what 1t Is at present, this line will
be as busy as ever In short time, and
will require as large a force as ever.
The company is busy all the time making
the road bed on this line the best that
can be built, and It 10 certainty that 1t
.expects to use It to lts capacity.
