vacancies on the main line to be fill
ed The cause of the dismissals is not
yet known though the service blanks
which will soon be issued from head
quarters will contain the specific char
ges upon which action was based.
Rumor is rife among the railroad
men that 20 brakemen and 20 agents
are to receive the same treatment in
j few days and the rumor emanateo
from authoritative sources.
The railroad men have known for
some time that 'spotter' has been
at work among them and they believe
they have the "spotter" spotted. Re-

passenger had Chief Kearney arrest
the passenger brakeman. claiming he
had robbed him of $40 while he was
asleep. A search of the brakeman fail

about 90 gold pieces were found on
the accuser. Afterwards it was
learned that he had been offering
cash fares to all conductors. The
usual charges against conductors m

1t is reported on good authority that
seventy mainline brakemen and twen-

shake-up has caused big sensation
in railroad circles and today there is
a marked uneasiness among the EN-

The conductors received their no.
tees of dismissal yesterday. Three

known railroad men in this city. Not
one but had been with the COM

one had passed the 20 year service

workmen.
That their dismissals are perma-
