MORE ABOUT JOHNSON.
John McNeal Says Kansas Man Was
Not Invited.

The Kansas City Journal says: The
services of Lee johnson. state labor
commissioner Of Kansas, will not be
sought by the boilermakers' union in
the attempted settlement of the Union
Pacific strike John McNeal, president
of the union. wired from Omaha yes
terday to his secretary, stating that
Johnson's services were not desired and
said to so announce 1t in the news
papers. McNeal is In charge of the
boilermakers' end of the Union Pacific
strike, and he and Johnson, so it is
said, don't-get along tremendously. Nc
Neal succeeded johnson as president of
the boilermakers' union after the latter
had been given the appointment of
labor commissioner by Governor Leedy
in 1897
p ]. Conlon, FIRST vice president of the
International Association of Machinlsts,
is a warm friend of Commissioner
Johnson and the two met in conference
in Kansas City, Kas.. last Monday. The
Union Pacific strike situation was dis
that johnson, by virtue of mis- office,
would take a hand in the fight.
Johnson for some reason unknown to
the general public, is not on confiden-
tial terms with the present administra-
ton of the grand lodge of the boiler
makers, even though he was at the
head OF the organization, for long time.
There have been no new develop
ments in the strike, SO far as is known
in Kansas City, Kas. Union men. both
machinists and boilermakers, are on
duty at. the Union Pacific. shops and the
strikers are exercising great vigilance.

denied, Mr.. Newman said that while an
organization was effected in Kansas
City last summer of the chairmen of
the five great railroad employees or.
ganizations, it did not mean that the
railroad men would make a demand for
an increase of pay, or that the new or
ganization of the brotherhoods had
power to enforce such demand if it
should be made. He added:
IF it is the purpose of this organic
alton to make a demand for higher
wages. with a threat to go on strike if
the demand is not granted as one of the
general officers of the largest railroad
organizations. I would know something
about it. AS a matter of fact, 1 know
nothing of it. The organization could
not enforce its demand, if It made one
The laws of the brotherhood OF railroad
trainmen are strict on the subject Of
strikes, making it a penalty and punish
able by expulsion to engage In illegal
or sympathetic strike. A strike can not
be ordered except when all other meas
ures of settling difference have been
exhausted and then only by a two-thirds
vote of the members employed on any
railroad system The men of a. railway
system have control over their lines and
nowhere else"

amounted to 500, 542, 167. 9s. OF this total
81, 91S, 1850 went into new mileage, in
Guiding bonds and stocks of other rail-
way companies
One of the items included in the re-
mainder of this total expenditure is ST.
256, SIP for fuel lands. The report sets
out a description of the newly acquired
oil properties which consist of 500 acres
of proven Oil-prOducing lands and 1000
acres which are expected to be equally
productive when developed. Without the
aid of the latter as a source of supply,
however, it is estimated that the one
vide fuel for 100 years for the engines
and other furnaces on the lines from
Seligman, Ariz., to San Francisco, as
well as for the floating equipment in
the bay at the latter place.
The report shows that there was put
into new equipment nearly $100O0,O00
during the year. A part of this sum is
included in the expenditure from CAPT.
tai account, the total of which is given
above.
Comparison of the gross earnings of
the system for each year since the for
nation of the company in 1896 and the
gross earnings a mile of road shows
| that the former have increased from
| 80. 1897, to $50, 1875, 0S5.53 for the year
ending June 80, 1902. The gross earn
ings a mile have increased from $4,-
1924 in the first year to $7,527,97 in the

| In the last year. 5,s23,041 tons of east
bound freight was handled. The west
bound was 5,773,52 tons. The eastbound
business paid ST., S4S. 29087 and the west
bound paid 1867, 316.1S. the tons haul
ed one mile being over 360,000,000 great
