LIES Local Officials Say This Section Has Already Been Hit Hard; Many Idle Men Fifteen thousand men have been furloughed on the lines of the Penn sylvania Railroad since January 1, 1914, it was announced yesterday at the general offices of the company at Broad Street Station, Philadelphia. In timation was given that further re trenchments and more furloughing would begin on or about April 1. At the local offices of the Philadel phia division no information could be had to-day as to whether the proposed retrenchments would affect employes Iti the Harrisburgfi Enola and Marys ville shops and yards.

THURSDAY EVENING, J according to estimates of officials ; given to-day, fully 1,500 men residing jin Ilarrisburg and its vicinity are j either on a furlough or are working on half time. Drastic Retrenchments The retrenchment policy now being I carried out by the Pennsylvania Rail | road is said to be the most drastic I and farreaching in the history of the company. As the company normally I employs 140,000 men on its Kastern ! lines, more than 10 per cent, of the j total force has been thrust into the ranks of the wholly idle. In addition, j of the approximately 125,000 persons still retained on the payrolls of the j E.astern lines, 40,000, or nearly one i third, have been placed on part time. I A dispatch from Philadelphia says: j "Two hundred clerks have been dis charged at Broad Street Station with in a day or two. Altogether, counting ! dismissals, lay-offs and short-time or ders, a 25 per cent, reduction, In I round figures, has been effected in the l working hours or skilled and un- I skilled labor on the Pennsylvania's Eastern lines, and wage payments have been cut accordingly." "The end is not yet, inquiry yester day showed. On the contrary, en- I forced economy has gained a mo mentum tht seems likely to carrv it I much further. Retrenchment extends ,to many matters besides working | hours, number of employes and pay j rolls. The Pennsylvania recently cut j off considerably more than a score of ! passenger trains on the Eastern lines. Several of these were through trains, from the East to the West and South, and ranked among the most impor | tant on the system. Others were di visional trains of lesser, but still very j considerable Importance. "Further reduction In the passenger ; train service is now being arranged, !it was ascertained yesterday, and, ae- I cording to present plans, shortly will j be made effective." Former Harrisburgers Have Been Successful I Referring to two of the recent ap pointments on Pennsylvania Railroad ! lines east of Pittsburgh, the weekly j bulletin from Broad Street Station, ! Philadelphia, gives the following brief I sketches of two former Harrisburgers: Walter W. Hubley was born May | 24, 1878, at Harrisburg, Pa. He grad uated from Lafayette College In June, I 1900.

He was ap pointed assistant supervisor on the Pittsburgh division September 1, 1903, and on March 1, 1913, he was trans ferred to the Middle division in tho same capacity.

E. B. Cunningham. Secretary Kalbfus, of the Game Commission, ruled recently that coun ties must pay the bounties to people who present scalps whether the legis lature makes an appropriation or not, but tills was objected to. Mr. Cun ningham rules that the acts of 1907 and litis make the counties legally liable to persons presenting proper certificates for payment, of bounties. The fact that there are now no funds specifically appropriated to reim burse counties for payments of boun ces does not affect the matter. Petitions Filed. — Nominating peti tions were filed to-day as follows: Sen ate. Maxwell Chapman, Dunmore, Washington. Lackawanna district. State committee, Democratic. John J. Murray and John W.

The suit makes a demand for $1,035 for a Mif flin county limestone company as a test, setting forth that on February 16, the date of the demand there was in the treasury a large sum of money received from licenses since January 1. The Auditor General will probably set forth the specific appropriation act as nis defense and that will mean a long oattle.

South Dakota Vote Enthuses Regulars Special to The Telegraph Washington, D. C., March 26.—Re publicans in Congress believe that they sfe something significant in the result of the Republican primary elec tion held in South Dakota yesterday at which Representative Charles Burke defeated Senator Crawford for the nomination for United States Sen ator. Mr. Burke is classed as a regu lar Republican of the standpat va riety. He has served as a member of the executive committee of the Republican congressional committee. The third party movement in South Dakota has become disorganized and it was said to-day that it has no con siderable following and no central committee. Republican politicians remember the advancement made by the Progressive movement in the Northwest in the last campaign and feel that the triumph of Congressman Burke indicates that the Republican party will regain power in the Northwestern agricultural States at the next elections.
