the score down because of poor field

MCCULLOUGH MAY
RECEIVE PROMOTION
Head of Richmond Division
to Go to Pittsburg, Re-
port Says.
POST IMPORTANT ONE

1t was unofficially reported in local
railroad circles today that J. c. Nc
Cullough, superintendent Of the Rich
mOnd division of the Pennsylvania
railroad, was to be transferred to Pitts
burg as superintendent of the import
ant PlttSburg division, and that he WAS
to be succeeded as superintendent OF
the local division by George lie Bouti,-
ner, maintenance engineer cf the Pitts
burg division and formerly maints
nance engineer of the Richmond diva
ion.
This report appears to be an autben-
tic one and an official announcement
OF the changes is expected in the near
future. 1t was also rumored in local
railroad circles today that there would
be transfers effecting other officials Of
the Richmond division
If Mr.. Mccullough is made superin-
tendent of the Pittsburg division it
will be a most unusual promotion for
superintendent of the local division
AS a rule men must serve as superin-
tendents of one or two other small
divisions after leaving the local divis-
ion before they are promoted to a post
so important as the superintendency
at Pittsburg.
Work Attracts Attention.
However, local railroad men say,
Mr.. Mccullough would deserve such
promotion as is reported he will
receive. They say he is proved to be
one of the most accomplished railroad
men ever in charge of the Richmond
division and his work has attracted
the close attention of the highest Off
ellis of the system
Richmond although he has not resided
here for number of years. He is said
to be railroad man of unusual talent
Mr.. Mccullough has been superin-
tendent of the Richmond division for
two years, succeeding Nettleton Neff,
who was transferred to the Akron di-
vision.

OFFICERS
NAMED FOR PRIMARY
PrOgressives Look Forward
to Heavy Vote Next
Monday.

Nearly all the election officers have
been selected to serve at the polls
next Monday when the Progressive
primary election for the purpose of
nominating a county ticket takes
place.
The candidates have made careful
canvasses of the voters throughout the
county and all of them expect that a
large vote will be cast if the weather
is favorable.
Those standpatters who have been
so actively asserting that the Progress
sive party in Wayne County is now on
its deathbed, which predictions they
have been making, by the way, ever
since the party was organized, would
be disagreeably surprised if they got
around Richmond, the small towns and
the country districts as much as we
candidates have" said one candidate
today.
Instead of the party being on the
point of breathing its last I have
found that it is becoming stronger all
the time and right now it is the most
robust political organization this
county has ever known. The men in
the ranks of this party believe in it's
future and it's principles, and while
they don't do much useless talking
they never miss an opportunity to cast
Progressive ballot"
Probably the most interest in the
Progressive primary campaign is CEN
tered on the race for county clerk,
which has five entries, Claude Keever,
Fountain City; Charles Potter, Rich
mond; l.. c. Harrison, Richmond !;
Park Gipe. East Germantown, and
Clarence d. Mote, Richmond.
There is no candidate for joint rep
resentatice from Wayne and Fayette
counties and it is probable there will
be none from this county, the Fayette
Progressives being permitted to fill
this place on the ticket for the fall
elections

EXPRESS COMPANIES
LAY OFF employees
Officials Say Parcel Post and
Reduced Rates Are
Responsible.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3-More than
5000 employees of the big express COM
panies have been thrown out of work
by an economy policy" which the
companies have adopted. Officials OF
the company today declared that the
policy was caused by double blow
inroads by the parcel post system, and
the big reduction in rates, ordered by
the interstate commerce commission
which became effective Feb l.
Orders have been issued by the ex-
ecutive officers of the companies to
"cut expenses in every way possible"
and it was predicted today that sew
eral thousand other employees will lose
their jobs or suffer salary reduction.
Not only are the express companies
reducing their working forces to save
money, but in thousands of the small
er cities, where two or more compan-
les have operated under separate roofs
they are reducing rental and drayage
cost by housing all companies under
one roof.
The American Express company had
about $4,000 men in its employ before
Feb. l, but it is understood between
1900 and 1000 have been let out The
U. S. Express Co. reduced it's working
force nearly $4,000 to about $4,000 and
like reductions are said tOehave been
made by the Wells-FargO, Adams and
other big companies.
