NOT AFFECT SALT LAKE

The campaign for retrenchment during
the coming year on the Southern Pa
ciic will have no effect on the local
offices Of that road. according 10 c. l.
McFaul, district freight and passenger
agent. Mr.. McFaul said yesterday that
while he had received no official notice
or the companys retrenchment opera
tions he understood that a number OF
men employed in the general offices al
san Francisco had been let out Janu-
airy L.
In the December 20 issue Of the South
ern Pacific Bulletin, received yesterday at
the local office, President William
Sproule is quoted as follows;
Regarding the retrenchment rumor,
1T Is true that when the company's
earnings are shrinking and Its OK
penses increasing We have to readiust
ourselves to that condition. 1t can
not be better expressed than by the
old proverb about cutting the coat TO
ft the cloth. The railroad Is merely
paymaster, II we arc not earning
money we cannot distribute It,
