G.. n. MEN IN DEMAND.
Mr.. Harding the Seventh Official
W.o Has Eeen Taken.


The election Of Russell Harding, gem
eral superintendent of the Great North,
ern, to the vice presidency of the Cot
ton Belt road, is cited by railway men
as another evidence that Great North
ern officials are in demand ON other
roads, and it is considered a tribute to
President Hill that men trained in his
railway school and methods ara recog-
nized the country over as desirable
men for important and responsible posi-
tons.
Within a very few years seven Great
Northern officials have been taken by
other railway companies and elevated
to places Of honor and responsibility.
and in every instance they have added
to the regulations they enjoyed with
the Great Northern. W. w. Finlay,
who was second vice president of the
Great Northern a few years ago, is now
second vice president of the Southern
Railway company with headquarters in
Washington. He was succeeded on the
Great Northern by w. H. Newman,
who IS now president of the Lake Shore.
Since the departure of Mr.. Newman his
place has been vacant. but it is soon
TO be filled by Darius Miller
A L. MOhler, who was formerly gen,
eral mana ger OF the Great Northern. is
now president of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company; G. Fl Warren,
who also served the Great Northern
as general manager, is now assistant
to the president of the Central Railway
of New Jersey.
j. N. Barr, who was general superin-
tendent of the Great Northern, left that
company to become vice president and
general manager of the Norfolk &,
Western.
John M. Egan preceded Mr.. Hardera
as general superintendent Of the Great
Northern, and is now vice president o.
the Central Georgia railway.
No other railway in the country has
graduated so many vice presidents as
the Great Northern, and no other rail
way man has attracted so much at
tention by his methods of building I'D
railway managers as President Hill. II
shows that Northwestern railway men
and methods are received with favor
all over the country.
1t is understood that Mr. Harding will

EXPERT OPINIONS,
What Railroad Officials Say of tY,e
Joint Traffic Decision.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 25:-Tne follow
ing are the opinions expressed by lead
ing railroad officials of the city on the
decision of the United States supreme
court in the Joint Traffic association
case, all being given without knowledge
of the text of the decision except that
it is against the Joint Traffic associa-
ton lines:
J. F. Tucker, chairman of the Central
Freight association, says: Il have not
seem the decision and cannot say, there
fore, how it will affect the Central
Freight ass Ociation. The Joint Traffic
association saw fit to continue its
existence after the supreme court had
decided the Trans-Missouri freight case
on the ground that it's agreement diff
fered from that Of the Western body.
II may be that the Central Freight
agreement differs from that of the
Joint Traffic a.ssociation."
Commissioner Donald, OF the Central
Passenger association: 1.-THE decision is
a sad blow for the railroads. 1t is to
have had in view the results which will
follow such q decision, and been able
to decide the case on broad grounds
Of equity. The result proba bly, will be
to reduce all traffic organizations of the
country to basis of very questionable
value. I do not know what will be-
come Of the organization of which 1 am

stand the decision, it does not affect
us in any way. Our organizations were
all dissolved at the time the supreme
court decided che Trans Missouri
freight case, and reOrganiZed to con,
form to that decision. The revised
agreements were submitted to a com,
mittee of counsel and approved by that
committee. Our agreements Go not p. o.

Chairman Parker, of the Western

Missouri Freight association case, it ia
a disappointment to the railroads.
imagine that our agreement is very like
that Of the Joint Traffic association
The scheme of the Eastern roads Waa
followed closely when we organized tbs
Western Joint Traffic bureau, but that
was dissolved in 1896. Since then we
have had only a shadow of an agree
ment, but it has been along the sans
lines as that which the court has Just
decided to be Illegal"
II. H. Cartwright, of the Western
Trunk Lines committee: Before the
Western men can say how they are af
fected by this decision they must see
the full text of the Judgment. 1t may
be adverse to the railways in some
points and Favorable to them in
Others"
Vice President ChappelI, of the Chi
cago & Alton railroad: The Trans
Missouri freight case was exactly sim,
liar to this one in that the main ques,
ton was to an Independent body in
which rested the power to make and
control rates. Our present freight or
CARNATIONS have no such feature The
board of the Western Freight associa-
ton makes no rates. It does try TO en-
force rules and regulations, but not
such as affect rates. A pooling law
would help the railroads, but it would
not do all thai is necessary"
