SALARY CUT RESTORED.
Southern Railway Company Employee*
Made Happy by the New*.
Washington. D. C. — All Southern
railroad employees with the exception
of the president and vice presidents
of the system, will have their salaries
restored to the figures which were in
, effect previous to February 1, on July
■ first.
This announcement was made in a
| personal telegram from Washington to
; ,|. s, b, Thompson, assistant to the
j president of the Southern, at Atlanta,
I by President Finley.
This is the second sign of returning
confidence which lias been made ap
parent on tile part of tile Southern.
The first was a definite statement
! from this system that the contemplat-
| cd reduction of 10 per cent in salaries
of its employees, set for July l, would
not be made. The second was that re
ferred to in which it was stated that
the former 10 per cent cut was to be
ri stored on July 1.
As one of the employees expressed
ft: "This is like getting a 20 per
cent increase in my salary. First, 1
didn't get the 10 per cent cut 1 was
expecting, and 1 did get the 10 per
cent increase 1 wasn’t expecting."
The official order from Washington
reads as follows: “The Southern rail
