CUTS THE RATE.
Santa Fe Starts Trouble for
Lines Fast of the River.

The Santa Fe railway has announced an
open rate of one fare within 200 miles for
the holidays on all parts of it's line. This
is in direct conflict with the decision of the
Western Passenger association, prescribing
a rate of one and a third in territory east
of the Missouri river.
A Santa Fe official said today in discuss
ing the cut: I'VE found that other roads
east of the river were putting IN one
fare rate in such way that we could
not compete with them, and 50 to meet
them, We decided to put in a general rate
of one fare 1t does not effect The terri
tory west of the river, where the rate OF
one fare. is already in force on all lines
The Chicago papers state that the cut
which the Santa Fe made is likely to re-
suit in general cut rate of one fare en-
all the Chicago. competing lines. The Jlli-
nois Central and the Chicago and Alton
have already started to slashirg rates to
local points in Illinois out of Chlcago.

Nearly All Engineers, Pump

Coal Companies Seem to Have No
Difficulty in Filling the Places
Of Tho Striking Miners

OF the United Mine Workers of Amer

fremen and pumpmen employed at
collieries wbe ere The eight-hour work,
day with present wages was not graf
sd, went INTO effect yesterday. and
as has BEEN predicted a majority OF
the men obeyed the order Neither
side can claim a victory at this time
because the struggle On this phase
of thSe anthracite coal miners strike
has just opened. There was only a
partial Showing of strength The real
test Of whether,or not the miae pumps
shall DC, manned began today Al
though a majority OF the men quit
work, the companies. generally
speaking. succeeded in keeping their
pumps in operation. The operators
feel that at present they have the ad
vantage, but they are not so sangune
of tho future. The exact nHmber OF
men who quit work yesterday cannot
be obtained. Each side refuses tc
make public their figures. but gave out
information that roughly estimates
the number of men affected. These
estimates are far apart
National President Mitchell, of the
Miners Union, gave out a statement
yesterday, in which he said: RE
ports received from every important
mining community indicate that where
the eight-hour day has not been con
cedcd full so per cent of the fremen
pum pmen and engineers have ceased
work. The number Will be materially
Increased tomorrow In some sections
mine foremen have positively declined
to parform the work of engineers, fire
men and pumpmen. In some places
forem en- have manned the pumps, and
clerks have also been required to per
form uhis labor perfect army OF
irrespo nsible men have been employed
by the coal companies to act as coal
and iron policemen. The services OF
these men are unnecessary and theiI
presence unwarranted. There have
been no violations of law by mine
workers, and l am sanguine there will
be no overt acts on the part of the
strikers" e..
