TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 9.--Considerable DIFF.
fculty attended the operation Of the Santa
Fe trains today. Announcement was made
last night by the officials that all trains
would run on time, and that all kinds of
freight would be handled In the usual guam
titles. All the trains were run on time
card schedules.
The troubles commenced this morning
when the California limited train, No. 4,
came in from the west four hours late.
When the train reached Emporia 1t was
confronted with the strike conditions to
such an extent that It was held up for
some time awaiting orders. None came
and the train started. When 1t reached
the first small station the danger signal
was out and it had to stop. The process
was repeated at all the small stations be-
tween Emporia and Topeka. The limited
never stops at the small stations under
ordinary conditions. The officials were
much chagrined to find that their favorite
train had lost so much time. No. 2, an
other California train due in Topeka at
2:3o did not arrive at all and the officials
OF the road do not exactly where to look
for it, No. 6. from the west arrived
nearly on time. Instead OF being q long
train OF nine coaches. as II usually IL, II
consisted OF only three coaches, and was
pulled by two engines. This was done TO
preclude tho possibility Of any delay as 1t
is matter OF the utmost Importance that
ell trains run as nearly to the time limit
as possible. II received no clearance at
any station. All the trains from the east
were from one to three hours late, the
Chicago train being the latest.
Travel today has been unusually light.
The Atchison train. which is usually
crowded with passengers on Sunday, had
only fifteen people today. People are
afraid to travel on account OF the posst-
bilty OF accidents. The fast mail service
west was all right this morning and the
road men hope the same conditions will
prevail tomorrow. They will not express
an opinion, however.
The dlspatchers' ONCE here Is unable to
control traiic over the cutoff from Argen-
tine to Emporia and unless better condi-
tions prevail no passenger trains will be
run on the cutoff tomorrow. West OF EN-
poria the train dispatchers can only guess
as to the whereabouts OF trains Some
talk has been heard of bringing tho long
distance telephones into requ!sitlon to sup
ply tho place Of the telegraph. The super
intendent OF the eastern division has had
no sleep for two nights He expects to be
compelled to make another trip over tho
division tomorrow or Tuesday.
Dispatches received here tonight indi-
cate dissatisfaction among the trainmen in
some division points.
At 5 p, m. General Chairman Newman re-
ceiyed the following message from r. n.
Long of Denver: Everything solid.
understand the west end trainmen are out
Trainmen OF the Gulf division have given
the officials until a. m. Monday to settle"
A dispatch from Galveston says: "Gulf
men Sre standing Arm and everything is
very encouraging"
Chairman Newman wires from Wichita
that Santa Fe trainmen west OF Wichita
are threatening to go out unless the strike
is settled

work and the places OF the strikers at
the other telegraph Offices either have been
hlled or will be Monday. All passenger
and freight trains are running on schedule
time, with no interruption to trafflc."
The strikers have issued statement in
which they say they are violating no part
OF their contract with General Manager
Neyin In instituting a sympathetic strike
in behalf of the men Of the Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe.

Athletics Mt 4. u. L.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Dec. Especial -
The outlook now Is that the athletic teams
or, 1901 Will be as good as or better tn IN
the teams of 1900 The track team will have
at least two trips outside TIE state; .North-
western at Evanston and an intercollegia o
meet at Chicago. Then there is the 1ual
meet with Grinnell at Iowa city and the
state meet at Des Moines There IL talK
that the men would also like meet with
either Wisconsin or Michigan. The chances
for winning team In base bail are very
good. The team will play some of the
colleges In the state and the contests with
Nebraska and Kansas are not remote pos
sbilities.
From present indications the 1901 foot
ball team Will be as good or better than
this year. Iowa's chances for a good rec

of any OF the conference colleges. E'y

team, will be back. There is much good
material in the second team. The great
need will be men to take the position Of
Iowa's famous backs, Morton and Edison.
Chicago, Northwestern, Michigan and
either Illinois. Wisconsin or Minnesota
will be among the conference colleges to
play us. There is q general feeling that
games with both Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin should he arranged, Il possible, and
from what transpired last season Iowa will
be on their lists.

rators. Mention was made In the meeting
of the claim of the company that rule 30 of

to the contention Of the company on this
point the following statement was given out
tonight by l., G. Badxley. local chairman
of the grievance committee:
Rule 80 is not violated by the men re-
fusing to work. This rule only applies
when the general chairman gives thirty
days notice 1t would be fallacy to pre-.
sumo that we would nave to give the COM
pany thirty days notice before we would
stop working and not require thirty days
notice from them.
whilst the Atchison. Topeka g. Santa Fs
schedule has been violated time and again

Speaking of viola ton OF the rules let me
refer to rule %, which reads Day ope-
rators will he allowed one consecutive hour
for dinner between the hours of II 80 a. m
and 1880 p. m A number OF men in the
general office here have been obliged to take
their dinner at any hour. ranging from 2

THE company also violated rule 4, which
provides that at offices where two operators
or more are employed ten consecutive
hours. including one for dinner. will con-
stitute a days work. The operators are
thus worked nine hours. but when deduc-
tions are made for absences 1t Is figured
up on the basis OF ten hours work"
