Not Quite Satisfied.

The Pullman car conductors on the
Santa Fe are said to be kicking a little
regarding their having to take charge Of
their coaches at National City. They
say that as the train leaves that place at
7 :92 A. NJ, they have either to get up at
5 o'clock so as to 90 over on the dummy
or else stay at National City all night
and go without breakfast, thus throwing
them without any regular meal until
they reach Barstow at night. A change
in the schedule for meals on the Cali

Inquiry at the railroad offices develops
the news that the month of November
has been good one, both as regards
freight and passenger business. The
Southern Pacific reports that freight
traffic is picking up more and more
every day, and the Santo Fe claims to be
similarly affected. Local travel has
been about the average, but the overland
passenger business has increased won.
derfully. The incoming travel is, OF
course, by far the heavier, and the Santa
Fe has to send back deadhead coaches
daily to accommodate the great rush Of
traffic that they are receiving at Kansas
City. At times it seems as if the in
creased equipment that has been oh
tanned will be insufficient, but by jndi-
cious management blockades have so ia,
been avoided. Judging by the estimates
