EMPLOYÉS.

The total number of employés reported for the entire lines operated in 1887 was seventeen thousand and eighty-five. The number in each class cannot be given, from the fact that the list of employés is not classified in the returns made by the railroad companies.

WAGES.

An exhibit is made in Tables Nos. 8 and 9 of the wages paid during the year 1887 to the various classes of employés by the Southern Pacific Company, Northern Division, and a comparison of wages paid on our roads with wages paid on roads out of Chicago; the month of October is taken as the basis of comparison.
