employees of the Erie railroad was
announced in a circular issued by
General Manager r. S. Parsons.
1t said
"A further reduction in payrolls
shall be made by working all office

is done as being a more humane way
of meeting the situation, than to
lay off any more employees, which
all concerned should readily appre-

load, and we must all contribute to
the fund. This reduction is to be
put into effect at once"
