WAGE RATES THESAME

The denial of General Manager Nudge
of the Santa Fe that the new schedule
governing conductors and brakemen
will be responsible for an increase in
wages is rather a sad blow to the train
men following. as it did. the announce
ment that $780, 900 additional would be
expended annually.
The Chicago Herald was re-
sponsible for the story of the Santa Fe
increase. In the Friday morning issue
top head space was given the matter
on the first page, and General Manager
Nudge was quoted as follows:
THE wage question with our train
men has been satisfactorily settled, and
the men return to their work well sat
1sf1ed. No horizontal increase was
granted, but I should say that the new
order of things would show an increase
probably averaging Is per cent. It was
more in some cases and less in others"
Mr.. Nudge denies positively that he
made the statement that the new Sche-
dule would cause an increase in wages
of 10 per cent He says the concessions
granted the trainnen will practically
make no difference in the annual ex-
penditure for train service as the mile
age rates remain the same.
L am at a loss to know how such a
story originated" said Mr.. Nudge to-
day. Possibly some Chicago trainman,
who was affected by some of the con-

Der of one of the two grievance commit
tees did it for the purpose of making
the trainmen feel good. The effect
of the announcement was temporary, as
both the enginemen and the stockhold-
ers know by this time that it was a
mistake"
From the fact that the grievance
committees of the two train orders have
been in session for several weeks, the
various members will be called upon to
show to their respective lodges that ev-
cry effort was made to secure an ad-
vance in wages. The conference has
been an expensive one to the o. r. c..

A BUNGLED AFFAIR.
More Explanations" Over ChoynslSi-
Mccoy Farce Refereeing.

New York, Jan. 13.-The decision of
JOHNNY White in awarding the decision
at the Broadway Athletic club to Nc
Coy is quite generally upheld by the
morning papers here, although two of
them claim that Choynski was treated
unfairly. All the papers argue that the
mistake of the timekeeper was deplora-
BILE and that in that respect. the Cali
fornian did not receive his just dues.
Timekeeper Dunn refused to discuss the
fight He closed watch and left the
building. But he was seen to protest
to the referee at the end of the second
round that he was right.
Choynski in an interview with a
World reporter said: ct was robbed of
the fight. I knocked Mccoy out in the
second round with right swing on the
Jaw and he was down II or Is seconds
Both timekeepers, the clubs and my
own agreed on that and Dunn rang the
bell to indicate that the fight was over
It was called a round but Mccoy had
one minute and 40 seconds to recover.
In the third round Mccoy knocked
me down after the bell rang. I am a
little deaf, but 1 heard the bell. Mccoy
did not. 1t knocked me out and was
unable to come up for the next round
I was robbed
Mccoy said: ct am sorry there was
a misunderstanding about the time
was not out, although I was pretty
weak I was careless and got a punch
on the jaw in the second round that
dazed me.
1.-THE fourth time Choynski knocked
me down I took my time and listened to
the referees count. I got up just as
he counted ten and then the bell rang
Il showed that I had considerable
strength left by landing on Choynski's
jaw and stopping him.
THE punch I knocked him out with
was started before the bell rang in the
third round.
Il fought fairly and if a mistake was
made it was not mine.
I thought I could whip Choynski. I
did, and I think can again.
Referee White said:
Mccoy was knocked out. I counted
nine and Mccoy got up just as I count
ed ten. Then the bell rang and 1 and
the fighters thought the round was
over. It seems there was a misunder-
standing. The timekeeper had taken it
upon himself to count Mccoy out and
rang the bell. He had no business to
do it. 1t was my place and 1 say Me-
Coy was not out. He was up before
finished counting ten.
1.-THE punch Mccoy struck Choynski
as the bell rang was unpremeditated
and while it knocked Choynski down.
did not affect the result. Choynski was
very sick from a punch in the stomach
when the bell rang for the fourth round.
He refused to come from his corner and
1 was compelled to give the fight to
Mccoy"
Many of the spectators when seen
around the uptown hotels late last
night declared that Choynski should
have been given more consideration and
there were not few who limited at
'jobbery." On the other hand. the
managers of the club and McCoy's fol-
lowers aver that everything was fair
and that Referee White could under
the circumstances have rendered no
other decision.

CLOSED CATTLE TUNNELS.
For Curtailing Grazing Privileges the
Santa Fe Is Asked to Pay $4,000.

Ottawa, Jan. 13.-The suit of the ex-
ecutor of the will of the late John Dav-
export, Of New York City, against the
Santa. Fe railroad company was heard
in district court here Friday. The suit
is for the collection of $4,000 for alleged
damages by the company to the Daven-
port farm, west of the city, on the En-
poria line.
When the line was built some 1itiga-
ton ensued over the right of way
through the farm and the company left
several passage ways under the tracks,
to allow the cattle Of the dairy to pass
from one part of the farm to another.
These passage ways have since been
closed and it is on this account that
the suit is brought.
The Santa Fe provided an engine and
coach from this point and took the
jury to the farm to investigate the
matter thoroughly.
