Santa Fe Management VIII Not

4 Disposition to Strike VIII
Gain Operators Nothing.
ROAD is INDEPENDENT.
Trains Could Be Operated With

Would Provide an Opportunity
For Turning Down Order.

It IS stated on reliable authority that
II the grievance committee Of the Order
Of Railway Telegraphers show a dispo-
sition to declare a strike On the Santa
F'e. the Santa F'e management viii not

The committee viii meet with Vice
President Barr in Chicago Saturday It

accede to the demands made The OFF,
ciaIs believe the telegraphers should be
satisfied with present conditions, par
ticuIarly as the schedule was revised
and increases IN wages made not more
than a year ago.
Because of the fact that more trouble
has been experienced in the past IN
dealing with the Order of Railway Tel
egraphers than any Of the other rail-
road orders, the Santa Fe people would
be glad OF an opportunity to turn down
the order permanently \ strike Would
provide such an opportunity, and aIteF
the trouble was settled the o. R T.

santa Fe officials say that a strike
on the part of the operators would not
tie uD traffic, as trains could be run
satisfactorily on fixed schedules sew
eraI years ago q strike was ordered by
the O. r. T officers and the Santa Fe
trains were operated in this way for a
day At the end Of that time the strike
was declared off. Some expense would
naturally be attached TO a strike, but
the management would look on this
simply as payment for relief from 1u-
ture annOyances.
Grand Chief Powell. Of the o. r. T,
will probably be called in at the Chicago
conference It VIII not be the first
time that Mr.. Powell has been in con-
ference with Mr. Barr. When the
santa F'e vice president was with the
Norfolk & Western, that road became
involved in a controversy with its op-
orators. Nj Powell was called in, and
Mr.. Barr explained to him the COM
pany's position. In turn an explana-
ton Of this position was made by Mr.
Powell to the grievance committee. and
on the strength of it a strike was de-
cided upon However. before it was or
dered, Mr.. Barr discovered that the po-
sition OF the management had not been
stated TO the operators by Mr. Powell
exactly as he stated it to him, and
misunderstanding had resulted. This
discovery and correction by Mr.. Barr
placed the head of the 0. R T. in
rather a painful position, and since that
time he has had no great love for the
present third vice president OF the
Santa E'e.

that the presidents OF the great railway

soliciting agents employed by the rail-
roads are numbered by thousands, many
roads individually employing small
armies of them. This is what a gen

say upon the subject yesterday:
I don't want to come out openly for
the abolition Of the soliciting agents
Offices. but I can cOuscienCiously say
that in maintaining those offices the
railroads are shOuldering an unneces-

so many travelling agents are employed.

enough such agents to form regiments.
How they all are used 1 do not know
Some lines have few agents almost
none at All as compared to the numbers
IN the service in other lines. but they
do not seem to be growing over poor

The soliciting agents have more to
do with the decentralization of rates
than any other class of persons con-
