Whris the proposed reduction In forces
long tha T?nlm Pacific la causing nm
consternation among employes. It It noth
ing mora than haa been roln on at Bur
lington and Northwestern headcjvrtsrs and
along tha lines atnca the ftrat of tha year.
Apparently tha only difference with tha
Union Pacific la that the retrenching order
cornea auddenly and appUee to more per
nona at one time, while with the other
roads It waa dona gradually.
Of those to be laid off on tha TJnlon Pa
cif lo It ahotild be understood that all
are not In the headquarter building. Only
a small portion are thare, the major por
tion being scattered along the line from
Omaha to Ogden. aa well aa upon the
branches of the road. And again. It Is not
to be understood that those who are laid off
are to be discharged. Right at this time there
ara scores of clerks and other employes
who are taking and are about to take their
annual -stations. As has been the custom
In tha past, these persons aj-e given the
usual vartlon of two weeks with pay and
then they are being given an additional two
weeks, but without pay. thue avoiding the
oecesslty of discharging euch persona.
The hope la expressed In railroad circles
that when the vacations have expired busi
ness will have been restored to such an ex
tent that moat of the employes can be
-alld baek to their old posttione.
Other Roads Rctremeb.
Last January when railroad earnings
commenced to ahow a dropping off both
the Burlington and tha Northwestern Inau
gurated an era, of retrenchment which has
been continued up to this time. In every
lepartment of the two roads, from traffic
to operating, forces were reduced. How
rver, the reduction came gradually, a per
lon being let out here and another there.
There was no wholesale reduction In forces,
but the gradual cutting off in offices, in
hops and along the sections waa continued
in 111 the winter schedule haa been reached.
Hoping against hope that business would
improve, the Union Pacific retained all of
Its employes until now. Now It became ap
parent that something must be done and
consequently the reduction wma ordered,
but generally by Increasing tha length of
'he vacation.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. a Employee of
the Union Pacific railroad In its freight
houses and shops In Kansas City, Kan.,
began today a working schedule of eight

said to be the reault of an order from the
