SANTA FE ENGINEERS WIN.
Are Not Required to Do Hostler serv
ice at Denver.

Denver, April 23-Orders have been
received from Topeka notifying engi-
neers on the Santa Fe railroad between
Denver and Colorado Springs and Pu-
eblo that hereafter they shall leave
their locomotives after pulling Color
ado & Southern trains, in the hands of
the hostlers at the Seventh street yards
and at the union depot. The same rule
prevailed previous to an order of the
Colorado & Southern management, is
shued three months ago, which abolished
hostlers and compelled the engineers to
take their locomotives through the un-
ion depot and eastward to the Fortieth
street yards.
Objection was made by the Santa Fe
engineers to the abolishment of hos
tiers by the Colorado & Southern man
agement, because the engineers mostly
live on the South side and it was incon-
venient to reach home from F'ortieth
street. They complied, however, but
appealed to the headquarters of the
Santa F'e company at Topeka, which has
now sustained their complaint.
