The city papers continue to report
general retrenchment on the rail-
roads Some claim the reductions are
for the purpose OF creating the I'M
preston that the railroads must re-
ceive help from the interstate com.
merce commission in respect to the
increase in freight rates while the
railroad officials claim the retrench-
ment policy is absolutely necessary
in order to keep within operating ex-
D snses. The question should be de-
cided soon SO as to give the railroads
and shippers chance to adjust their
affairs. So far as Keokuk is concern
ed there has been very little change
in the railroad employment situation.
