sIJBwAY FREE TO PARKS N. Y. CENTRAL CUTS FORCE
Office Staff Reduced go Men,
Owing to Depression.

Business depression. as the New York
Central officials put it, has caused the
railroad company to discharge sixty
members Of the office staff and reduce the
salaries of others. in the office staff arc
about 1900 persons.
in the last three weeks it has been
found that there has not been work
enough to justify the continued employ
ment of all Of the men-particularly those
engaged on books-so a cut in the force
became necessary.
No effort was made to charge the move
against the Wilson administration. In
fact, the official said that much Of the
work handled by the men affected by the
order had to do with the construction of
the new terminal. The salary cuts have
not applied to employees long in the ser
vice. Transfers have been made and the
men who take the places of others have
been assigned at lower salaries. 1t was
said that no sweeping changes will be
made, according to the present prospect.
