HAS MODIFIED IT8 RULING.
At Lea:t 250,000 Men Needed to
Repair Ravages of Winter
Labor Is Cheap.
Chicago, March 31. In the next CO
days the railroads of the United Stat
will have to nnd between zou,wiranu
300,000 men to mend their tracks and
roadbeds and another large army to go
Into their shops and repair their carl
and their locomotives.
The railroads centering In Chicago
alone will, between April ) and Jnne 1,
rtquire more than 100,000 laborers,
who will be employed In remedying tho
ravsues of the winter months, which.
with their frosts and their snows, have
made many miles of shaky track and a
many more of softened roaoDea.
The past winter has not been as hard
as the season usually Is on roadbed and
track, and physical conditions are not
as bad as usual for the further reason
that the traffic has not been so heavy.
No renewal work, however, Is being
done this winter, and after the frost
comes out of the ground In tho spring
there Is bound to be settling of the
roadbed, sagging ot bridges and a score
of things which go to prevent efficiency
of operation.
In the employment of labor the rail
roads seek to procure Americans when
tber can set them at tbe price wnicn m
offered for labor. As a role, however,
the .railroads are glad to get men wher
ever It Is possible, the only stipulation
with tho labor employing agencies Do
ing that tbe men shall be competent to
do the work for which they are employed.
