Employes in Two Departments Re- (ceive News as to Proposed Cut and Will Not Submit With- out Protest. President Charles Hays of the Southern Pacific Railroad evidently intends intro- ducing Eastern methods into the manage- ment of the company. It is a method that will not be appreciated by the employes— for it means a cut in salaries. The men in the employ of the corporation are on the suxious seat. It has reached their ears that their salaries will be cut before the end of April. The cut may come svoner, and the new schedule of wages may be put into effect at the end of the present month. The men are now discuasing the advisability of entering a formal protest against the proposed action of President Hays. While such a protest might have but little effect, it will be presented, how- ever, if definite knowledge of the proposed reduction is obtained by the men. ‘he two offices affected by the reported cut employ fully 300 men. There are about 160 employes in the local freight office. They were the first to receive “‘a tip” that their salaries were to be scaled down. They next heard that the clerks in the freight auditor’s office were also on the | “books” and marked for a cut in wages. The men of both departments are now waiting and watching for developments. They will not submit to a reduction with- out a struggle, for they say that they are now recefving 1 ay_than their services should comm; While the m re not willing to make they are discuss- s the best course to | pursue when the dr-ad day arrives. They re certain that it is coming and they not far distant. It is known he ds of the departments in- | have approached several of the longest in the employ of the com- “to sound them” on the matter.

He was of Scotch biood. So am I. He came to California in the early days. We two grew up, as it were, together. He had a double share of Scotch integrity, en- terprise and noble qualities. For thirty-two years he devoted himself to the affairs of the university of this State. He was on the first Board of Regents In 138 and continued his work until his death. His work was a life- long devotion to the University of Californa. As chairman of the gommittee of finance he laid the foundation of the success of the uni- versity. Its success was due to his wise and economic management of finance he con- tinued that devotion until he dled. It is now my duty and honor to show you the present- ment of this great benefactor.
