On "Wednesday the plug was drilled
in the CaSlSrv well about > miles north
cast Of town and they are now drilling
hplaw 200 feet. Everything has shown

Railroad Notes Of
Interest Locally

Increased local switching about
Fairmont. Is the first sign of a
slight Improvement in the business
situation locally.
]. NJ. Scott, Wheeling. general
superintendent Of the West Virginia
district, B. & o. R. R., left last eve
ming for Clarksburs.
These facts and figures are Civ
en- in regard to unemployment
among the railroads in the Railway
Age: Report shows that the aver
age number OF railway employees In
service during the quarter was
or 1861 less than dur
ing the corresponding quarter Of
1920. and 123.32S less than during
the first quarter OF 1921. An even
more striking reduction in railroad
employment is shown by the COM
parison between August. 1920, when
the railroads were carrying a rec
ord.breaking traffic. and April. 1921,
The reduction for this period was
655. los or nearly 80 per cent,
an August 1920. the number OF
employees in service on the rail-
roads OF the United States was q
1854. In April this had been re
duced to 1876. For the first
quarter OF 1921 the average was
/ ,691.471 and for March 1t had fall
len to ], 500 ,O6S. In April the situa-
ton was still worse but there was
a slight increase in May to 1,575,-
500 and in June to 1,5S6,14S. The
total compensation paid to the en-
Moves of Class 1 roads for the sec.
ond quarter of 1921 was S699,6S4, I95
as compared with S157,325,S56 for
the first quarter of 1921 and ST.
S52.1O9,451 in the third quarter OF
1920. Since in all these three guar
tiers the employees we're on the same
basis of wages, the reduction in the
payroll was entirely due to reduc'
ito min the number OF employees.
