AT TOPEKA.

Topeka, Kan, April 1S.--The State
Journal says: In speaking OF the strike
ON the Santa Fe road a railroad man to.
gay voiced the following significant In.
formation:
The strike inAugurated here week
ago was the beginning Of n trouble which
rs 10 test the relative strength of rail
ways and organized labor an over the
country. u is now the understanding
among men that the real reason their
contract was not signed By the Santa
re was on account Of an agreement
recently entered into by the general
managers and presidents associations of
an railroads In the country TO sign no
moro contracts with organized labor.
as they said for their own protection
This agreement was entered INTO by
all roads in the United States M a
meeting held In Chicago about the time
President Marvel died. and we reach
our conclusions about the action taken
at the meeting from an article written
immediately after the meeting hy presi-
dent j. q. Clark of the Mobile and
Ohio This letter was published In the
Railway Age and the writer proved
from his standpoint that the railways
must combine TO defeat organized labor,
or as he said, TO meet organized labor.
Many OF the rondS including the Santa
Fc. have contracts with other organizn-
lions than ours, and IL ia the understand
ing OF the men that these contracts are
to be annulled at the earliest possible
moment.
General Manager Frey was seen. but
he refused TO either deny or affirm the
truthfuluess OF the strikers opinion. He
said:
81 am not a member Of the General
Managers association aud have DevOr nt-
tended any Of their meetings and do not
know anything about this matter"
