The inside deal in which Pullman OBJ
tanned possession Of the second class sleep
ers on the transcontinental lines has at
last leaked out, says the Omaha Bee.
Pullman has a contract with the Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and
Northern Pacific. for the exclusive opera
ton of the sleeping car service on these
roads. The companies put on second
class sleepers and did not regard it an iu-
fringment of the Pullman contract, and
although the second class service had
been in vogue for a considerable length of
time, Pullman offered no objections.
Finally it occurred to him that the indus
try must be a paying one, and turning TO
his contracts he learned hat no class was
specified, and hat he had the exclusive
franchise. Aiming himself with the con.
tracts he made a demand on the various
roads for the turning over of the second
class coaches. The latter could not do
otherwise, and in consequence, without
hesitancy, the Union Pacific and Santa
Fe at once complied. Yesterday informa-
ton was received at Union Pacific head
quarters to the effect that the Southern
Pacific had relinquished to Pullman its
second class service, and that also the
Northern Pacific would conclude similar
negotiations in a few days.
TRANSPORTING COW PUNoHERs.
New rules adopted by all western roads
applying to transportation OF men in
charge of shipments of live stock have
been adopted and will go into effect March
Is. They are as follows: One car of
stock entities one man to transportation
n way; two cars, one man and return;
from four to seven cars, two men each
way eight or more cars, three men both
ways, which is the maximum number
allowed to accompany any individual
shipment. Under the existing regula-
tons no combination of agreement exists
and no limit as regards the number of
men accompanying large shipments is
uniformly agreed upon. Another clause
which may appear superhuous is that no
woman can obtain passage by reason of
being in charge of stock.
