w. G. Nevin, general manager Of the
Santa Fe-Pacific and Southern Califor-
MIA Railway companies, has announced
in connection with Julius Kruttschnitt,
general superintendent of the Pacific
SYSTEM of the Southern Pacific Railroad
company that after January 1st next no
employe of the two roads will be fur
nished free transportation to any point.
This new rule Is applicable to the
humber employees on the Santa Fe sys-
tenn as far east as Albuquerque, New
Mexico, and on the Southern Pacific road
between Ell Paso and Ogden. The gen.
eral officials and travelling agents are not
affected by this order.
For some time the general managers of
these roads have had under considera-
ton this plan, and while in San Fran
cisco the early part of this week Man
ager Nevin signed an agreement with
Superintendent Kruttschnitt to this eff
feet. The Issuing Of passes to employees
has been carried on Unfortunately
for a long time, and it is claimed that
In many instances the privileges Of free
transportation have been grossly
abused, which is one Of the reasons
causing the railway officials to adopt
this new order. While it will deprive
many employees of some pleasure, and
work hardship more or less on others,
1t is not surprise to them, as nearly
two months ago The Herald intimated
such course would be adopted with the
beginning Of the new year.
TO INSPECT THE NEW ROAD
New York Central and Hudson River
railroad, who has been here week for
pleasure and recreation, will leave prob
ably tomorrow morning for Albuquerque
to meet other New York railroad Of
flcials and capitalists interested in the
new railroad to Randsburg. The party
will proceed Immediately to the new
mining district and make thorough in
spection Of their property, after which
they will return here, and later will go
to San Diego General Manager Van
Etten states that it Is very probable that
the road will be extended in northeas-
terly direction to the borax fields a dis
tance of sixty miles, in the near future
but If any further extension Is con-
templated this year he says he knows
nothing whatever of it.
ADVANCE IN FREIGHT RATES
Commencing January 10th, the South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads will
increase their freight rates to eastern
points 25 cents per hundred pounds
This action has been contemplated for
some time, as the general freight agents
of both lines have contended all along
that the existing rate, so cents per hun
dred, was too low. The commodities
affected chiefly by the new rate include
wine. brandies, barley, wheat, beans,
canned goods. seeds, etc., and it is very
probable that between now and the 10th
Of next month there will be heavy ship
ments of these articles from Southern
California.
