The public Is vitality interested and must be

put to work on dozen different points OF the

Well, 1t takes the day city editor about an

condition of the demand was that the wages

say the instructions issued by the order are
positive, and the strike will go into effect If
the demands are not conceded.

for a strike. The men have been paid for

While the members of the Western Pas
senger association have agreed to restore
east bound rates November / to the basis
that prevailed before the Worlds fair, and
west bound rates November 10, there is no
certainty that the transmissouri lines will
follow suit for some time to come.
jim Hill of Great Northern fame has been
an important factor in transmissouri railroad
circles for a considerable length of time, and
through his manipulation OF the situation
compelled the other transcontinental lines to
come to his terms or else stand "a protracted
rate war, Hill having nothing to lose in the
fight.
AS an example of how rates have been cut
in this campaign of education" 1t is only
necessary to state that the old rate from the
Missouri river to Denver, first class, was
SlS,15, the present rate in either direction
being 50. But the second class rate. forced
by Jim Hill on the other transcontinental
lines, from the Missouri river to Portland
is only SIS, as against $35 second and $50 first
class that existed before the Worlds fair
opened. OF course the second class rate
will be raised, but it is very much doubted
If the old rates will ever be restored with
'China Shop Hill in the field, reaching out
for the plums IN his territory.
However, the transmissouri lines might
take q within and meet any day, in which
event the old conditions of things might
obtain, but that day is not IN sight and
passenger men in Omaha do not feel very
hopeful of ever seeing the old rates restored.
MIR. Lomax said in reply to the reporters
question regarding the situation: "We are
ready to meet the transcontinental lines at
any tune, but really / have given the ques-
tion little serious consideration. The rates
were forced on us and now that they are in
effect and business good it would seem that.
for a time at least. thew will continue IA
now. But it is out of the question to expect
a restoration of rates in transmissouri ter
ritory simultaneously with the rates in the
