Burlington Line to
Reduce Force in West
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 15.—Between 5
and 7 per cent of the Burlington em
ployes west of the Missouri River will
lose their jobs by reason of an order
just issued from headquarters. The move
is made to meet the emergency of re
duced tonnage and the necessity of keep
ing the road on an efficient and economi
cal basis.
Reductions in employes will be heavi
est In departments doing work that can
be deferred until spring. Ten pr cent
of railroad shop employe.*, 25 per cent
of extra gang forces and 15 per cent
of track laborers will be discharged, it
is announced.
DEPENDABILITY
MOTIVE power —sufficient locomotives fit
for maximum service—is the prime factor
of dependable railroad operation, particularly dur
ing the stress of winter storms. And the public
will be interested to knew the present state of
preparedness of these lines —what has been done
to insure the fulfilment of their shipping and
traveling necessities.
Only motive power of the highest order can
consistently win the battles against zero tempera
tures, mountainous snow-drifts, ice-laden tracks
and switches and wintry gales, which multiply the
difficulties of every train over every mile of line.
To insure dependability of service under the
adverse conditions of winter operation, an inten
sive campaign for motive-power preparedness has
been prosecuted by these lines.
Immediately following the termination of Fed
eral control last March, 206 new locomotives
were ordered constructed, 82 of which are already
in service. Others are being delivered daily, and
the balance are well advanced in the course of
construction. But measured by the total number
of efficient locomotives added to active service,
the rehabilitation program of the New York
Central Lines amounts to several times the new
construction schedule.
In the eight months ended November first,
4,029 locomotives, or 63% of the total number
owned by the New York Central Lines, have been
given “heavy” repairs, which, for practical pur
poses, makes them new locomotives.
The progress that is being made is an assurance
to the public that the New York Central Lines
recognize the obligations of preparedness.

ARMENIAN AID
IS EMPHASIZED
Blizzards Force Call for As
sistance to Orphans.
The appeal of the Armenian orphan
for a continuation of American support
throughout the winter reached the In
diana committee for Near East Relief
yesterday in urgent telegraphic dispatches
from New York headquarters.
In order to meet demands for imme
diate assistance the executive committee
of the national organization has been
compelled to shoulder an indebtedness of
$1,500,000, according to State Director
Clarence D. Royse.
Winter blizzards have set in through
Armenia and Syria and the demand on
Near East Relief funds is so strong that
no additional children can be admitted
to the near east orphanages, it is ex
plained.
“Snow knee deep—orphanages over
crowded,” says a cable forwarded to the
Indiana committee. At the present time
110,000 orphans are In the custody of
Near East Relief. It is estimated that
250.000 more children are wandering about
homeless and uncored for.
"All because their parents refused to
yield their Christian religion and because
they supported our allies In the tforld
War,” said Mrs. E. C. Rumpler, chair
man of the woman's division of the In
diana committee. “What a glorious thing
it would be if every Indiana woman who
can afford it would adopt one of these
babies."
