ECONOMY MEASURES
In compliance .with orders re
ceived from Washington during the I
last week, payrolls of the Alaska
Railroad are being sharply reduced
all along the line.
Several posiitons are reported to.
have been abolished in the head-!
quarters offices, maintenance of j
way forces are being reduced drac- ■
tically and the shop forces in An
ehorage are going on a five-day!
week basis, which means that thej
present force of upwards of 69 men j
! will continue working but at ma
terially reduced wages, according
| to the Anchorage Times,
The orders coming from Wash
ington are in line with the policy
i of the administration to cut ex
penses in all departments, but the
railroad retrenchment comes at
i rather an unfortunate time, with no
possibility of other employment
i during the winter months, and
i those who are losing their places
I are going off the payroll with little
jor no notice.
Members of the shop forces are
| taking their pay reductions for the
j most part philosophically, realizing
that in order to meet the demand
for lowered operating cost there
must be either reduction in time
or reduction in forces, it being es
timated that had the shop contin
uecl to work full time it would have
meant the laying off of about 20
men.
The shop workers went a sev
en-hour schedule last winter to pre
vent a drastic cut in force, and they
are hopeful that the present ar
rangement also will prove tem
porary, with full time restored when
work opens up in the spring.
