EXTHEN people talk too much and too easily
wv one ought to be on the alert Often
glib talking covers something.
This is not a universal rule, of course, but

RAILWAY TO SHIFT
FORCE OCTOBER |
700 Clerks of Southern Line
Expected to Go to Atlanta
From Here.

Transfer of Southern Railway en-
ploves from the Washington offices to
Atlanta will become effective october
|. 1t was learned today.
Notice to that effect was posted on
the bulletin boards in the local once
Yesterday afternoon so that employees
who are willing to accept the transfer
might have ample time in which TO
make all personal arrangements. rms
was the first announcement OF the
effective date.
Approximately 700 clerks are said to
be affected by the order, which is in
accordance with the policy OF the
Southern announced some time ago. A
great majority of the clerks involved
are taking advantage of the option OF
being transferred to Atlanta or being
laid of their work in view of the gen.
eral reduction of the Washington force
after that date. 1t was believed today
that very few of the employees here
will not agree TO go to Atlanta.
The addition to the main Office in
Atlanta will be ready for occupancy on
October ], according to word just re-
ceived from the contractors. 1t will be-
about a year before the new offices OF
the Southern are completed here at K
and Fifteenth streets. Construction OF
the new Offices is neCessitated by the
fact that the Government has pur-
chased the site Of the present building
on Pennsylvania avenue
There are about 1000 employees OF
the Southern here The only difference
that the transfer order makes IS to re-
duce the force here. as ell the existing
departments are to be maintained as
heretofore.
