The Burlington railroad in keep ing with the general policy of the roads over the country has announced reduction of their working forces from five to seven per tent, is the an nouncement made from the headquar ters of the new general manager of the lines west of the Missouri river, W. F. Thiehoff. In some departments of the rail road work the reductions will be heavier than in others it is thought. In the shop lines as in this city and llavelock it was estimated at the Lm- coln offices that the reductions might reach ten per cent and with extra gang forces as high as twenty-five per cent and fifteen per cent with track laborers. Reductions will do the heaviest in departments doing work that can be put off until spring At the local shops of the Burling ton Superintendent Baird is now- working on the plans following the instructions from the headquarter but has not reached a definite esti mate of the extent of the men that will be affected by the chances. The reduction will affect about one hundred men at the llavelock shops It has been expected for a long while The Burlington is one of the last of the big western roads to begin re ducing forces, the condition of its business making it possible to defer the order until the present. It is understood that a consider able amount of rebuilding work bridge work and new steel placing will be deferred. Heavy concrete work that mav be done in the winter time at much expense will be deferred until April. Forty miles of new steel hanging over because of late deliv ery of the rails, will not be placed during the winter months. Work on this steel replacement has been de ferred until March 1. In the mean time the rails will be distributed and it will be made certain that the ma terial is on hand when the date to do the work arrives. A great deal of work under way in the shops can be deferred if attention to routine work makes that neces sary. If business had kept up to the high peak carried in October a reduc tion in the shops would not have been possible. Western Triads in pre-war times, usually made winter time reductions in forces. These re ductions usually affected outside forc es being first to feel the effect. Dur ing the war period and followinj business has been so heavy that the big difficulty has been to get men enough to do the work. For the first time in four years the railroads have faced a serious reduction in business this fall. The cattle business was handled early. The mild weather eut coal transpor tation nearly a half on the lines west. Grain price reductions cut down the grain business. Tho su gar beet traffic has about been fin ished. Less than carload business be gan to drop with the beginning of November and the drop has been growing more and more since that dat?. Plainly stated the people rjuit buying and business slumped. The carload business held up better than the less than carload tonnage, but even that has begun to slump. Assistant General Manager Thie hoff said that it is necessary for the health of the railroads and the well lieing of the country that the rail roads be efficiently and economically managed. It is not possible to greatly reduce the number of men employed in yards, in the round hous es and at stations, because a certain number of men are required to run trains and keep engines going re gardless of the amount of business. The country must have railroad ser vice. It is possible, he said, to put off a great deal of work that can be done in warm weather better than in the winter time and that is just what is being done. All the men laid off now will eventually find a demand from the road for their ser vices And Mr. Thiehoff hoped that the demand for labor would be heavy enough in the early spring to need every man who is laid off now. "Force reduction is always a dis tasteful thing." he said, "but it is necessary at this time. The fact Is revenue has not come up to expecta tions. . The new rates were based on what transportation was costing the railroads at the time they were made, and since that time the rail labor board has added other expenses which the new rates do not cover. The transportation act puts it up to the railroads to operate as effiefpnt Vi and economically as possible arfd X force reduction is therefore made ne cessary." Railroad men expect a marked im provement in business by spring time and because of this outlook the re duction in force is not regarded so seriously as it might otherwise be. If financial conditions make it pos sible many believe a great deal of rebuilding and new' construction will follow the coming of spring. A BOX SOCIAL 8 Winter Wearables of Qualify and Distinction!
