After diving into the figures out OF
which the above able has been evolved, il
occurred to us that the wsges paid to Eng
lish railway men might be helped out q
little by some arrangement in regard to
free house rent or some old age pension
scheme. Accordingly we wrote to Mr..
Hartford upon these points. and his reply,
which he permits us TO publish, is as fol-
lows:
Dear Sir-In reply to the two questions you put
to me- beg to say
/. That the wages of railway employees are not
helped to any great extent by residence in houses
belonging to the railway companies Some sta-
ton on-mastars, sate-keepers, ami O few others live
rent Tree, but that fact is taken into account in
fixing the rae nf wages, that is to say, that but
for living rent free the wages would be so much
higher.
Then others reside in cottages provided by the
companies, for which a fixed weekly rental is
charged, always sufficient to pay yearly inter
est or from three to five per cpnr. the cost Of
their erection In my opinion the benefit OF such
an arrangement Is of n questionable character
IN some instances more commodious cottages,
with better sanitary arrangements obtaina-
BILE from private house-oSners at the same rent
Then, again: for an employing corporation to
have It's woTk-reople as tenants is simply O DOW
er the more in its hands, and an immense danger
to freedom of action of the employed, as dismis-
sal not only means loss of employ ment, but be-
ing turned out OF house and home as well
2. Some few railways have pension funds
which are raised by contribution from the men,
The men are not generally enamored with such
schemes They are supposed to be established
on the voluntary principle, bIt when formed. il
n man objected 10 lin, he fund he had not the
same chance Of promotion As those who did.
even IL some excuse could not b. found for els
pensiDg with his services altogether. Then for
the rake of appearances, the management OF
such funds was vested in committees composed
of the chief officials and few selected members
of the funds, but the former generally took good
care to use the predominaiing influence they
possessed

EDWARD HARFoRD,

Amslgamated Society Of Railway siervants.
The reader will observe that the two
classes of railway men to whom Mr. Har-
ford refers as those who occasionally live
rent free in houses provided by the COM
panies, are not included in the ware table
given above, the reason for their omission
being that, on some account, they are
omitted from the return out of which our
table was constructed. Thus the figures
we give must be allowed to stand with
scarcely any modification, and we msy
surely leave them, without further com
ment, to tell their own story and to teach
to American workers their own striking
lesson. II. T,

THE SANTA FE AGAIN.

Once more does the Santa Fe call
attention to itself in the matter of
rate disturbances, and thus does the
merry war go on. Yesterday that
line made a request for relief to
Chairman Caldwell, of the Western
Passenger association, and asked that
a round trip rate of S. be put in for
the knights of Pythias between Chi
cago and Kansas City. AS a reason
for making the request, the Santa Fe
states that rate agreement has already
been grossly violated, and the Cleve-
land, o., rate is stated to have been
cut from $40 to $40, with similar re-
auctions from Lima, Toledo, Cincin-
natl and Fort Wayne, while from
Chicago q round trip rate of $3.50 is
being named as against the agreed
rate of $40.
1t is now two weeks since the
Journal published the fact that the
Ohio rates had all gone to pieces and
that a certain high officer of the
knights of Pythias had notified his
brother officers here that "the
Knights of Pythias will be as well
taken care of as were the Knights
Templar by the railroads" In the
article referred to it was stated that
rate of 81 round trip had been
made from Cincinnati. There was
no other conclusion possible than that
the Chicago-Kansas City rate had
been cut, as that rate alone was 80,
and it was not to be supposed that
the Eastern lines would be willing
to haul passengers from Cincinnati
to Chicago for the remaining 81.
This action on the part of the
Santa Fe is no more than has been
expected by every one, although it
was not known what line would make
the break. BY its vigorous fight
made in the Denver business, the eyes
of other lines have been opened to
the manner in which the Santa Fe
goes into rate war, and Mr.. Cald-
well must needs display much tact in
order to avoid another such avalanche
of trouble as overwhelmed him in
the Knights Templar rate.-Kansas

FIXING WORLDS FAIR RATES.

The committees appointed by the
several traffic associations to prepare
a rate to be charged to the Worlds
fair excursions held their first meet.
ing and j. F. Heafford was chosen
chairman. No business of import
ance was transacted, but views were
exchanged, so that it may be said
considerable Roadway was gained.
1t seems eastern and western roads
are divided, the former holding out
for one and one-third fare, while
the latter say that better. must be
done. The Centennial rate was quot
ed by eastern lines, showing that
for the first half of the time during
which the fair was open a rate of
only 8 per cent less than the full
rate was charged, while at the close
of the fair a rate of one and one
third was charged. To this conten-
tention the western lines held that
the situation in 1876 was different
than it is now, and that the high
standard of rates in force then was
because the Pennsylvania road was
able to command the situation, and
it was openly said that no one road
nor number of roads excepting the
entire lot could maintain a rate in
1898.
1t is useless to attempt to make a
one and one-third rate for so big a
thing as the fair. One thing alone
will bring the eastern lines to time,
and 1t is the fact that the Canadian
Pacific and the Grand Trunk, of
Canada, are already contracting to
carry passengers from Montreal aud
Quebec TO Chicago and return for
$ls. Foreign visitors to the fair
are likely to take advantage of this
inducement to leave by the Cana
dian routes, and it will be strange
indeed if the trunk lines do not de.
eide to meet the competitor.

it would lessen the suspicion which

REPUBLICAN, COUNTY CONVENTION.

AS the Republican Central Com
mittee of the Territory has called a
Territorial convention to be held in
Las Vegas, N. NJ, on the 25th of
August, 1892, to nominate a candi-
date for delegate to congress, and as
it is made the duty of the Republi-
can Central Committee of this coun-
ty to call a county convention to
select thirteen delegates to represent
this county in said convention, a
convention for that purpose will be
held at the court house in Las We
gas, on the oath day of August, and
each precinct is requested to send
delegates thereto, according to the
number allotted below.
The prospects of our party for sue
cess in the coming campaign are
good, and we hope for the co.opera-
ton of all the Republicans in each
precinct in making solid and har-
monious organization, and being rep
resented, and that committee of
three for each precinct will be named
to work under the direction of the
county central committee, and their
names Immediately forwarded to the
UNDERSIGNED.

C0L0RED CITIZENS
Meet in Convention at the Cour
House.

nOuS6s
There was meeting of colored
citizens in the district court room last
night. L. M. Sublett was elected
chairman and HI. T. Walker secretary.
The convention as first organized
was Republican body for the dis.
cussion of party interests. Richard
Felsop, r T. Thompson, b. j. Henry,
Ben Wallace and others addressed
the meeting and after speaking
at length on the great question of the
Lily::Whites VS.. the shady side of the
Republican Party, the meeting re-
solved itself into mass meeting on
the good of the city. Sublett still
presided, but Walker WAS succeeded
by Jake Green, mulatto kid. The
subjects of city politics in general and
oolored schools in particular were dis
cussed with more vehemence than
lucidness, but the fact was CLEANED
that the colored people were, in the
opinion of the speakers, cramped in
their school rooms, and have not q
sufficient number OF teachers. A
cemetery was also demanded.
The meeting adjourned at late
hour after organizing permanently anc
agreeing to hold weekly meetings.
