much. This was. however, soon rem

RAILROAD NEWS

What may be the first move in a gen
eral campaign for economy has been
started by the Chicago, Milwaukee &,
st. Paul, Burlington, and other roads
by orders which will reduce the ex-
penses of those systems 100000 a
month.
Instructions have been issued by OK
ecutive officers of the St. Paul, and it
is believed they will be followed by
directors of other lines, for general re-
renchments. The economies are to be
along sane lines, of course, but wher-
ever possible expenses are to be re
duced.
The scheme, it is said Of all rail
roads, is to cut down in order to take
care of advances in wages that have
Or are about to be made. The severe
winter. with the attendant heavy and
continuous SHOWS, has caused the rail
roads to expend thousands of dollars
IN clearing tracks and general opera
lions, and the economies are to, in
measure, recoup for these OUTLAWS
Not in three years have the railroad
managers been forced to spend so
much money to keep their roads open
as they have during the last three
months. The winter has been harder
on the transportation lines this season
because the snow has been almost con
tinuous, leaving little open weather
and few times during which trains
could be operated on clear tracks. An
other theory of the economy order is
that the railroads. in line with every
thing else, have been operating on too
high a financial plane-that is, unnec-
essary expenditures have been made
everywhere. that the flood of prosper
ity has made transportation represen-
tatives and directors as individuals
careless, and it IS to head off eXtray-
agance that the instructions have
gone out
In line with the theory that there is
to be a campaign of general economy,
officers of other roads deny that they
intended to take any radical steps for
reducing expenses. All said that they
would, of course, economic wherever
1t was possible.
