St. IuiB, Dec. 24. A glowing
tribute to tiie men and women in the
ranka of the Missouri Pacific Lines la
paid by President L. W. Baldwin in
a ChriKtmas message being sent out
' to the employes from his office in
St. Iui today. The year just clos-
ling has been an unusual one in many
respects po far as the railroad is con
i cerned. the m-FBa?e declares, point-
ins out that the Minsouri Pacific has
been compelled to overcome more and
greater difficulties than ever in its
history. The fact that the railroad
ha emerged from these in better
condition than ever before. Mr. Bald
win credit to "the staunch support
of the rallrrjad's entire personnel."
Referring to the recent difia3trou3
Hoods, Mr. Baldwin says that, while
the roadbed was washed in many
places, "the motale of the organiza
tion never wavered or weakened."
The i-1atement clones with an ex
pression of optimism for the coming
year.
The statement follows:
"The year drawing to a close ha
hee-n a most unusual one in many
respeet We have been compelled to
fare and overcome more and greater
difficulties than anyone could fore
see and the handicaps have been
re;;trr than ever before In our hls-
