RETRENCH|NENT WAS
SCORED HEAVILY
President W. H. Pierce Tells Large
Audience of Unfairness
to Employees

Railroads in general were scored for
their retrenchment policies by w. H.
Price, president of the Brotherhood OF
Federated Employees, at a big mass
meeting held in Chestnut Street Audi
torium last night.
President Pierce referred to two re-
cent orders, one declaring dividend
on the stock and the other discharging
men because the profits had been cut
down. Reference was also made by Mr..
Pierce to the salaries of officials higher
up as not having been touched. Re-
trenchments. in the opinion of Mr..
Pierce, effected the poorer classes of
employees only.
A crowd of 1000 men, mostly mem
bers of the various railroad brother
hoods, were in attendance at the meet
ing, and they applauded President
Pierce to the echo. Another speaker
was Vice-P President II. L. Gsell, organ
izer of the Federated Brotherhood
Mr.. Gsell called attention to the de-
mand for higher freight rates as un-
timely when dividends were being paid
on watered stock" He referred to the
late reports from various railroads as
proof that none of the companies were
actually losing money.
P. L. Smith. a Pennsylvania Railroad
fireman, told of the hardships of rail-
road men.
