Talk of Conditions.

Continued Improvement in the opera
ton of the road over the strike lnaugu-
rated by the O. r. Il. is the situation re-
ported by Santa F'e officials this morn
ing General Manager Nudge and Gen
eraI Superintendent Resseguie sat side
by side at the keys in the general office
telegraph department
Mr. Nudge closed his key a moment TO
answer the inquiry for developments or
changes in the strike situation.
Everything is running smoothly" he
said. THE only change is that many
operators are urging to be taken back.
Tt is too late now.
ITO show you we are doing business
right along, look at these train reports,
said Superintendent Resseguie- They
fa1sify the wild and absurd statements
that have gone out Trains are running
regularly, passenger and freight. Con-
Sidering the handicap a large and favor
able percentage are on time. Much time
is made Up on the middle and eastern
divisions by delayed trains. On the Chi
cago division delays are only matters Of
minutes
1.-THE fast mail was on the dot here
east and west No 8 was Sc minutes late.
On the Oklahoma division where the ex-
odus of operators was one of the great
est, eight trains out of eleven were on
time yesterday. One was 25 minutes
late, one 21s hours, one 3 hours and IS
minutes Does it look as if we were do
ing business? There is no doubt about
freight trains are moving as SaIlS-
factory as passenger. We are taking all
business and starting all that comes in
On their side the men received encour-
aging advices.
General Secretary H. s Perham, of
the O. R t.. issued the following bulle-
tin from st. Louis this morning:
Progress of strike entirely satisfac-
tory. President Dolphin in Galveston
personally directing affairs. Our success
assured beyond doubt Ninety-nine per
cent of the Santa Fe Pacific, and @. @.
& S. f. operators out and over SIS per
cent on the Santa Fe proper. They can
not fill strikers places. Twenty-four
hours at outside will bring victory to
u.s. Secretary Perham urged the men
to stand firm and take no stock in the
reports Of the company that everything
was favorable and satisfactory to it.
They had encouraging words from
General Chairman Newman also that
trains were tied up.
Many ringers are included in the men
sent out by the company, the men say.
Chairman Purkett reports having a con-
versation with one of them at the To-
pelza depot The man said he had his
wife and two children along and was
benefiting his travels by securing free
transportation as far as he could, in
tending to pay his way on to Galveston
when the game was UP.

MIR. Curtis Says Indian Territory
Should Not Be Made to Wait.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 10-No
member of congress has taken q. keener
interest in the legislation for the ben
eft of Oklahoma and Indian Territory

Fairbanks bill for the admission Of
Oklahoma to statehood, and believes
that it viii not become a law at this

dian Territory should be a part of the

vides, but that there is no necessity for
waiting until the allotments are all
made and the land is owned in severalty
by the Indians.
