Katy Head Thinks Change Justified at Katy Railroad
W N Deramus II wrote to Attorney General John Anderson insisting Missouri Kansas Texas Railroad is entirely justified in reducing forces at Parsons. A court order requires the company to show cause by April 30 why it should not be barred from violating a 1929 employment agreement with Kansas regulators. Reports from St Louis indicate a major Katy reorganization moving purchasing to Denison Texas and possible shifts of treasury legal and passenger traffic to Texas with HQ offices possibly following.
