Santa Fe Makes a Small Cut in It's
Shop Force.

Albuquerque N. NJ, Feb. 24.-The
number of that small army of employees
which rumor said were to be ''let OUT
on last pay day at the Santa Fe Pa
cific shops, has narrowed down to 10
men, by actual count, all of these hav-
ing gone for some reason other than
lack of work to keep them busy. The
foolish story that a third of the men
in the shops were to be "canned''-as
the men put it-had absolutely no foun-
dation, and started as such rumors al
ways start, where many men are en-
pioyed under one roof, in the idle gos-
sip of one or two. There are now near
shops by the Santa Fe, more than at
this time last year. when the business
of the road was almost record breaking
in it's volume The business on its
line is slack just at this time, but that
fact would have no bearing on the ru-
mored cut in the force, since the dull
season would only and does only give
the mechanical department a chance to
get its rolling stock in shape.
There is absolutely no ground for
the rumor of e. cut in the force" said
an official yesterday. There is no rea-
son for such a cut and so far as we
know here, none is contemplated. There
Is plenty of work to do and while there
breathing hard and fast a month or
two ago, the story that two or three
hundred men of the force of 500 are to
go is absolutely foolish
The chief reason for the letup in the
business of the Santa Fe and Southern
Pacific freight business is the short
orange crop in California, say the rail
road men. The crop may be short, and
probably is, but it seems to be pretty
healthy. what there is of it Seventy
five cars of oranges a day is the rec
ord through Albuquerque for the past
week

In a Row With the Government.

Eastern roads are getting into trouble
with the government regarding rates,
and the matter may get into the courts.
Because the government has insisted
upon applying party rates to the move

decided to charge the government so

ever there is a movement of troops cars
have to be assembled at the origin IF

that the charge is made The actor,
however, is discrimination against the

There has been a change of time an
nounced for the through Rock Island
train to be put on between Kansas City
and Los Angeles March 2. The new
train will go by way of the new Ell PaSo
extension from Liberal. Kan. 1t was or
iginally scheduled to leave Kansas City
at $50 p. M, but Saturday notice of a
change was received in Topeka. The
new train will leave Kansas City at $50
p. M, thus enabling it to establish a
connection at Kansas City with the SO
hour through Wabash train from New
York to Kansas City. The effect of this
connection will be to give the Wabash
and Rock Island the fastest service be-
tween New York and Los Angeles. In
offering this fastest service between
New York and California, the Rock Is
land contemplates making a strong bid
of the transportation of transcontinen-
tai mail
The details of the time service finally
adopted by the Rock Island was first
printed in the State Journal before any
other paper handled it.

We CAN PAY AS .WEG0,

IN 9 sneech supporting the Fowler bill,
Repress NATIVE Hill Of Connecticut made
the assertion that there is no probability
whatever Of national bond issues in the

now SO wealthy that even the most ex-
traord1rary emergencies in the future
even those Of q great war, will be met
by additional taxation instead of by bond

course, but there are 500 100000 of IN

THE TEMPORARY INJUNCTION

Not much in the way Of substantial re-
suits in the decrease of prices of meat
may be expected from the temporary in
junction issued by Judge Grosscup re-
straining the members of the beef trust
from continuing to use combination meth
DDS in the prosecution of their business.
Those who think that the moment the
packers cease to work in harmony, as
they have been, there will be a fall in
the price Of meat will probably be disap-
pointed. Even if the price should decline
it would not be proof that the present
high prices are due to the deliberate
price-elevatin efforts Of the trust
The Jour n has pretty we'll proved
that there are factors in the meat situa-
ton that might well account for high
prices without influence from any such
artificial cause as combination Of the
packers to enforce higher prices. It is
probably true that henceforth for an in
definite period the price of meat in the
United States will 1egitimately be main
tanned at higher levels than in the past.
Ten years ago there were nearly 37,000,-
900 beef cattle in the United States; now
there are less than 28,0oo,ooO. In the
meantime the population Of the country
has increased more than 20 per cent In
those facts is ample cause for an I'M
