TELEGRAPHERS
Are Being Retired from Ser
vice by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.

MT. CLARE, Dec. 4.-The retire
ment Of large number OF telegraph
ers by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company, has resulted in the
displacement of E. L. Roush, who
has for the last three years worked
the second trick in the local office.
His successor is Joseph Dipon, of
Pennsboro, who was entitled to the
position because he has served the
company for longer period OF time.
Thus far the retirement policy of
the company has retired about
thlrty-fye telegraph operators in the
Monongah DISTRICT and it is prob
able that there will be still further
reductions of the force. Information
from other divisions is to the effect
that an equal number OF men have
been retired and that the total Will
number more than 800, on the entire
Baltimore and Ohio system.
Following SO closely the success Of
the telegraphers union. in obtaining
increased salaries, the wholesale re
duction makes the disappointment Of
the men more keenly felt.
