University wages and rail lines lure trained engineers
A letter from Prof Williams urges higher railroad wages to attract technically trained graduates, noting many Kansas University engineers refuse railroad posts due to low pay. He cites construction and maintenance laborers earning up to 90 dollars monthly with little difference from industry to rail. He warns the trend harms railway needs and urges wage adjustments. Meanwhile, Salina dealers report heavy cattle losses from a recent Kansas blizzard, with livestock shipments and farmer losses highlighting the impact.
