Can Run Their Own Business.

TOPEKA, April IA. A. Hurd, solicitor
for the Santa Fe, said: 1.-THE company is
suffering no Inconvenience. Between $50
and 800 men are now out on this strike.
There is no material difference between the
road and employees as to wages. We merely
refused to sign the contract presented by the
organization, which seeks to regulate the
business of the company. The wages we
pay are higher than those of any connecting
line and the men know this, but the strike
is not over a question of wages, but the
strikers simply want us, as have said, to
sign a contract giving thcm authority to tell
us how we shall run our business and we
think we know how we'll enough ourselves"

pounded an inquiry as to what the other

publicans contendiDg that the committee
on privileges and elections should report
the resolution as adopted at its meeting and
