was in position to talk. He said:
Must Reduce Expenses.
1.-THE showing of the roads business
for the past two months makes it evil
dent that there is no use running
empty trains. The receipts have de-
creased materially and there is only
one thing left for us to do-reduce ex-
penses.
The reduction of the number of
trains may inconvenience hundreds of
patrons, but I for one believe that
they would prefer to suffer such in
convenience than to have the road
declared bankrupt. The whole thing is
purely a business proposition. 1t has
just got to come, that is ALL
Seldom in railroad history have Of
ficials been called upon to make such
pruning of trains as the present plan
on the Boston & Maine calls for, and
most strenuous labor has been going
on in the offices of the road where
the tangle has been gone over for
weeks.
To Lay OFF Employees.
1t Is said that the wholesale cut will
mean the setting back of conductors
to baggagemasters and baggagemas-
ters to brakemen while the brakemen
will be laid off entirely.
Undoubtedly appeals will be made
on the part of the public to the Pub
lie Service Commission but in such an
event the Boston & Maine will insist
that it simply had to make the re-
duction.
The freight situation will not be af
fectetd by the change, the cutting
down being confined to the passenger
service.
