DID HURLEY REFUSE?
Report From Topeka That the
Division Superintendent Did Not
Want Overs place.

Local Santa Fee men are interested
IN the rumor ublished in the Kansas
City Journal under a Topeka date that
b. E. Hurley, superintendent of the
New Mexico and Rio Grsnde divisions
of the Santa Fe, had refused the place
of superintendent of the western di-
vision to succeed Charles Dyer, and
that G. T. Mcclellan. now superint ten
dent of the eastern division with head
quarters in Topeka will be appointed.
Mr.. Hurley is of course we'll known
In Ri Paso and makes frequent visits
here. Said local Santa Fe official
Il am inclined to credit the report,
because l think Hurley prefers his own
position on this division to the place
vacated by Dyer"
In the event Mr.. Mcclellan is named
several changes will probably take
place as result. r. j. Parker, super
intendent of the middle division, will
likely come to Topeka to succeed Mr..
Mcclellan, T. F. Dolan, superintendent
of the Oklahoma division, will succeed
Mr.. Parker, and D. D. Bailey, super
intendent of the Panhandle division,
will take Mr.. Dolan's place.
Mr.. Mcclellan has been superintend-
ent of the eastern division of the Santa
Fee for number of years. His transfer
to the western division would be a
promotion.

WHAT THEY GOT.
Definite Statement OF the Result
OF Santa Fe Conductors Err

OF Santa Fe Conductors Err
rand.
Local railroad men are interested IL
the actual result of the conference OF
| the grievance committee with officials
| of the road.
The Las Vegas Optic has, from the
local members there, what seems to be
| a straight account of the results OBJ
tanned.
Since the return of members of the
grievance committee to Las Vegas, it
has reliably learned that the principal
concession made by the Santa Fee com-
pany to the employees was raise OF
about SIS month for mountain pilots
more plainly stated. from S75 for q
calendar month to S75 a month for
working days and extra pay for holt
days and Sundays.
The old schedule required passenger
conductors to make 5, 500 miles on local
trains and 5000 miles on limited trains.
The new agreement calls for $500
miles month in either service.
Heretofore, when dead-he aiding with
q way car, crews have received one
half time. Now they are allowed full
time.
Under the former contract work
trains were allowed for twelve hours
day aud under the new order Of
things, If the pay for actual mileage
amounts to more than the regular
work-Jratn pay, employees will receive
mileage.
The rate of pay for all services per
mile remains the same.
WHAT RIPLEY SAYS.
President Ripley, on the contrary,
says: 'The statement that the Santa
Fe has raised the wages OF it's trsinmen
Is per cent or any other per cent Is
not true. The committee representing
the trainmen has been in session with
our officers for two weeks, during
which many details of the schedule
have been discussed and amicably ar
ranged. Some of these details relate
to hours of work, and we have granted
some allowances for extra work because
1t seemed just to do so, but there Ia no
advance in the wage schedule, which
is now and has been as high as we can
afford to pay, and as high IS paid by
other roads in our neighborhood and
competing with US. We are trying to
get little high rates, but it seems
impossible to get advance enough to
half make good what we shall have to
pay in the way of enhanced prices for
material, and there will be nothing left
toward increasing the income either of
the men or the company. The men
realize this, and they remember, too.
that unlike other labor, their pay was
not reduced in the hard times from
1893 to 1897, when the owners of the
property got little or no return
