SARAH ANN IS ,
ALL RIGHT YET.
Wabash Takes Off Its Collectors,
Advances Salaries of Con
ductors and Change Sys
tem of Collecting.
Shortly before the first of the
present year the Rock Island in
augurated a system of ticket tak
ers in the southwest, and this
year the Iron Mountain, Cotton
Belt and several other roads did
the same.
At the time it was stated that
the change was made in order to
give the conductors more time to
look after the running of the
train and the care of passengers.
It was also manifestly for the
purpose of "keeping tab on the
conductors from the fact that all
trains were not equipped with
these collectors, and that some
times they did not make a full
run on one train, but dropped off
at a way station and caught an
other train later.
Therefore the following article
in yesterday’s St. Louis Repub
lic may be of interest:
“An order was issued yester
day by the superintendent of col
lectors of the Wabash railroad,
reducing his force by 350 colleg
ers. The order took effect at
midnight last night and extends
generally through the system.
The action, it was said, is a por
tion of a plan to change the
scheme of checking cash fares.
“At the same time, it was
stated, a notice from the general
office raising conductors’ salaries
on passenger trains by $15 a
month went into effect* General
Manager Henry Miller of the
Wabash is out of the city, and

K
later report could be obtained
“The abolishment of its pass
enger. collecting system means a
radical change for the Wabash,
it having been in effect for a
long time. It will also result in
a considerable saving, the col
lectors receiving on an average
of $90 a month, in addition to
money for expenses.
“The Wabash was one of the
I first roads to install the collector
! system. Other western roads
! followed the lead, with varying
success, and some have abolished
it, while with others it is still
maintained.”
