Hope S. A. L. Yard Crew •
Here Can Be Restored
Meeting To Be Held In Freight Office Tonight of Bui-.
ineas People Interested j SIO,OOO In Payrolls Cut
j Off By Elimination of Local Group
Plans for restoration of the full
time yard craw by the Seaboard Air
Um railroad here will be discussed
by a group of local business men at
a meeting called for S o'clock this
evening in the office of the freight
station. It was announced today by W.
R Vaughan, agent.
Because of tne decline in railroad
business, the railroad authorities ex
plained. the crew was laid off see
eial days ago. and local shifting work
placed upon local freights passing
through the city.
In a tetter to a merchant who had
wired the receivers about the mat
ter. it was stated that "we are inform
ed that there is sufficient freight busi
ness in Henderson to justify keeping
the yard crew there. If you and the
other citizens will handle your busi
ness by rail."
It is further stated that the* cur
tailment that has been pui into effect
cuts off a payroll amounting to about
I id.ooo m year. It is also said that the
loss of business in this city is caus
ing Henderson to lose five citizens
and their families.
Business people In general who a»e
Interested in the situation are invit
ed to attend the meeting tonight in
Mr Vaughan's office, and it is hoped
that there will be a large attendance.
The latter from the railroad offi
cials is as follows:
"This arrangement we hope is tem
porary. but due to falling off irf bitti
ness at Henderson there was dot
enough work to justify keeping the
yard crew employed; as a consequence
we had to consolidate the work at
Henderson with some line of road
work which under the seniority rules
of the men. calls for putting on a road
crew
"We are informed that there is suf
ficient freight business in Henderson
to justify keeping this yard crew
there, if you and the other citizens
w.;i handle your business by rail. Our
General Manager had a conference
this morning with the Superintendent
and the Agent. Mr. W. R. Vaughan of
Henderson, and Mr. Vaughan, we un
derstand. is to meet with the ship
pers and receivers of freight in Hen
derson within the next day or two.
He is authorized to say to them that
the yard crew will be restored ju*t
as soon as enough of the business at
th-it point, which has been diverted j
to trucks, is returned to the railroads.
We shalj be very glad to restore the

yard crew at Henderson as soon as
the business there justifies it, but we
cannot keep the yard crew there to
do only local work when there la not
sufficient business to keep them em
ployed.
"In view of the fact that this loss
of business at Henderson is causing'
the city to lose five citizens whose
combined salaries amount to about
SIO,OOO a year, we feel that this mat
ter is of sufficient interest to make
this letter public, and we are there
fore taking the liberty ofc having a
copy published in the Henderson Daily
Dispatch, which we trust will be en
tirely agreeable to you. The above
payroll applies only to the men tnat
we have cut off. W'e still have a pay
roll at Henderson amounting to ap
proximately $55,000 a year, which we
expect to continue there as long as
business justifies it.
"We are quite sure that you will
take a liberal view of this situation
and will appreciate that in view of
our heavy losses in revenue it is nec
essary for us to make reduction in
service whenever business at any
given point does npt justify our con
tinuing the service formerly rendered
that locality.”

Old Party. The pictures were made at a pre-convention meeting of
Republican chieftans shortly after Senator Dickinson's arrival in
Chicago.

FLAG DAYOBSERVED
BY LOCAL CONCERNS
Merchants Plale Flags In
Front of Business
Houses
The convening of the Republican
party in Chicago has by no means
lessened the patriotic enthusiasm of
Henderson. In full reverence to the
past, and with optimistic hopes for
the future, apparently the merchants
of this city are today taking cog
nizance of the real meaning of ‘he
American flag. In front of practically
every business concern there is pre
sent the emblem of America. Meg
Day commeorates the brttlicnt success
of the predecessors of the present gen
eration, and this city is by no means
unaware of its implications. While
still in the gaunt merciless hands of
economic chaos Henderson reverences
with dignity those things which have
moulded this land into mightness.

development, has returnd to th city.
