DISPATCHERS LAID OFF
------
Telegraphic Force at Portsmouth and on Scioto Division Reduced
    Portsmouth (Ohio) Times:  The retrenchment policy of the Norfolk and Western has hit the division here and as a result the force of dispatchers has been reduced from six to five.  Dispatcher Louie Schultz being laid off indefinitely.  Schultz is now away on his vacation.  Operators Simonton and S????*, who were located at the Etna yards at Ironton, were relieved from service by the Norfolk and Western yesterday.  One man, Harry Calhoun, is retained on day service.
