CUT IN WAGES ON THE UNION PACIFIC Generul Retrenchmont in This Respect— Brotherhood Men Do Not Take Kindly to the Iden—Rivalry for Passen- ger Business—Notes. Salaries on the Unfon Pacific will be re- ducod September 1, according to the follow- ing official order which made its appearance late yesterday afternoon in all the_depart- ments at headquarters, effective over the entire systom: Ranging from $60 to $100 per month salaries will be cut 10 per cent, Over $100 to $200 a cut of 13} ver cent is made. Over §200 to $00, 15 per cent. Over $500 the cut is 20 per cent, which will affect the big guns less than the man receiv- ing 860 per month. What action the brotherhoods and fed- erations will take now that the official order has gono forth is a much discussed question. The continued postponement of the order reducing salaries on tho Union Pacific had given tho employes cause to hope that in- creased earnings would effectually stop all inteution of a reduction on the part of the officials in' Boston. But increased earnings cometh not, and the longed-for brightening of the financial horizon is secmingly just as far off as ever. While thero is an increased movement of grain and live stock it is by no means commensurato with thexemands mado upon the systom by reason of operating ex- penses, tixed charges, otc., and the hope of two months has finally changed into hope- lossuess over the situation. Broke the Nows to Them. When Mr. Dickinson called his men to- gether Saturday in general conference through their accredited representa- tives, and showed them the exact situation, it was the beginning of the end. No propo- sition was mado at the meeting on Saturday becausoa proposition was not necess: Acting under_ instructions received from Boston the general manager had no other jecourso thin 1o acquaini them with tho able. 'he men know tho situation thor- oughly, and while they did not acquiesce in all Mr. Dickinson said they agreed with him that something had to be done. Having scaled forces i all other depart- ments the retreachment order struck the employes at vhe union depot Saturday, four men receiving their timo chocks. But not content with Uhis the depot force were fivst to feel the effect of a reduction 1n wa an rder having been issued reducing all ala ries 10 per cent, effective Septemben O The Union Pacific is not by any means ti only road interested in the question of a re- duction in salaries, the Southern Pacific’s pay car being from two to three weeks be- hind time and then employes are compelled tosec held out a cortain er cent of their ries to vide the road along until better business brings a brighter condition of affairs. It is asserted that President Hunt- ington of the Southern Pacific had to give his personal note for $1,000,000 to secure the payment of $500.000, the amount of last month’s pay roll. How Brothorhood Men Feol. Some of. tho represontative men in tho labor world, it is understood, are opposed to the reduction on the grounds that the force has been cut to the utmost limitand a reduc- tion in saluries is a still further hardship upon a class of men who now barely make a living. A number of the heads of tho sey- eral organization: meoting Mr, Dickinson on aturday are sull in Omaha, and it is thought a conference of ail the employes of the Union Pa will be called within a day or two to decide upon what course to pursuo, Tho men fear that if_salaries are reduced it will bo a very long time before they are restored to the old figures. Iu consequence, there isa desire to gov togother and talk over the turn affairs have taken on the Union Pacific. Sante Fo Rumors. About the railway ofices there was a very interesting rumor that the Sante Fo would not pay salaris this month, notwithstand- ing that President Rhinchart made the somewhat sensational statement the other day that his road was “wading in money up to its neck.” JCED RATES GIVE! ‘Westorn Passonger Association Lines Make a Special Cat for Fairs Cimicao, Aug. 28.—The Western Passenger association did a rushing business today in granting rates for country fairs throughout the west and north.

HOPES OF THE SOCKLESS STATESMAN Wil Make an Effort to Succeed John Martin in the Senate, and Fall- ing, Will Bocome o Lecturer, Toreka, Kan., Aug. 28 Bik.|~Congressman Jerry Simpson's state- ments arc usually at a discount, but mis inti- mata political friends say that hisannounce- ment that he will retire frdm congress at the close of his present term is sincere. ‘They admit that it is a caso of sour grapes, as he is no longor in closo touch with the people of his district ard rival eandidates will be able to pack tho nominating convention against him, but they applaua him for quitting while his credit, so far as the outside world knows, is good. While Simpson is unpopular in his own district, ho is not without frionds in the rest of thestate, and ho will stand around next year for senatorial lightning to_strike, If the povulists win the legislature Judge Mar- tin will be succeedod by a populist, and Simpson would dearly like to have the place. There is a. growing sentiment among the populists to nominate the senator by the state conyention. as Sen- ator Palmer was nominated by the demo- crats in Qllinois. Should chis plan be adopted, Simpson would start even in the race and failing to win, it Is the schomo of his friends to help W. A. Harris to the nomination, and enter Simpson for tho nomination for congresSman-at-large, the position now occupied by Harris. But it is admitted that Simpson's chances for further political preferment just now are remote, and the fates will in all proba- bility permit him to carry out a long cherished project.

Simpson believes he was cut out for an Irish agitator, and it 1s said he is already at work on a lecture on tho Irish question, which, after a short tour in the United States, he will take to England und beard the British lion in his den. Ho has the double purpose in this enterpriso of gaining notoricty in the new field and of ranewing his,popularity at home, But Simvson’s fellow Atatesmen in the houso need not be in haste to themselves upon his prospective retirement Another character equally as odd and more persistent is preparing to ask for a nomination. Secretary of State Osborn finds state-house life too humdrum for him, and although he will not admit that ho is a candidate, a boom hus been started for him for congress: Mr. Osborn lives in in the Sixth district, wh now represented by a thrifty old gentiema who never fails to draw his pay the day it is cue, and being equally faithful in recording his vote according to the populist theory, he is fairly satisfactory to his But Os- born is the populist'ideal of a statesman, and if he will signify a desire for the congres- fonal nomination he may have it. and an tion would follow, as the district is hope- lessly populist. More Original than Pefter. Osborn is even a more original character than Senator Poffer. and can spring more new ideas and financial schemes than dozen men like the faithful “Milkman® Ot] who represented the Topeka district in the last congress.
