CENTRAL TOCUT
UNSKILLED MEN
Track Workers And
Freight Handlers To
Come First

SAVANNAH, March 24.-That in
the planned steps OF a regular pro
gram of retrenchment, it IS cOntem-
plated just now to reduce the wages
of unskilled workmen of but two
classes-the men who work on the
maintenance squads along the
tracks and the truckers and handlers
of freight at stations, most of them
colored men-was the statement Of
President L. A. Downs speaking
of the reports that the Central OF
Georgia Railroad will cut wages.
He said that no other reductions
are being now considered. The road
has reduced in the past several
months its forces of men to a mini
mum and still, it is said, the heavy
payrolls and lighter traffic do not
match. Before the organizations OF
unskilled labor the facts have been
presented and leaders are consider
ing the statement of the road and
will reply to proposals of the road
within a week. 1t is cited that the
reduction is proposed for this class
because they have received the high
est percentages of increased pay.
Skilled labor wage reduction IS not
being contemplated now, Mr.. Downs
said, but it was intimated that If re-
auctions in the classes now confer
ring do not make up the existing de-
ficit there will be further retrench.
