A general raise for all the Santa F'e
firemen and engineers was announced
today by General Manager H. U. Nudge
of the Santa Fe as a result of the con-
ferences which have been in progress
for the past week.
The officials of the road say that they
cannot estimate how much the increase
will amount TO in the course of the year,
or what the per cent is. Each class of
engines and each district of the road
was considered by itself, and changes
made wherever it appeared after inves-
LEGATION that it was necessary.
The men are satisfied with the
changes, and the conferences have end
ed. The last one was held this morning.
The members of the protective board
or what is commonly known as the
grievance committee of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen of the Santa Fe,
have been in session in Topeka for the
last fifteen days. They met with the
officials of the roadd at different times
comforting regarding a wage schedule,
and according to their own statement
secured what they asked.
The election OF officers of the board
held this morning resulted as follows.
Chairman, Thomas Burke, St. Joseph,
Mo: alternate chairman, J. H. Miller.
La Junta; secretary and treasurer, 7. &.

While declining to discuss the result
of their meetings here beyond giving
the election of officers, the members or
the board appear pleased with what
they received Our meetings with the
Santa Fee officials said Chairman
Thomas Burke, have been entirely har-
mouious. The relations are most am
icable, and the men are leaving for their
homes tonight in the best of spirits. We
are not at liberty to say what advance
secured n the of Srh06-
ule, but we were very fairly treated by
the Santa Fee"
You noticed in the press reports"
put in Secretary T. c. Hays that the
railroads made an increase in theil
charges on traffic. Well. that means
that you will have to pay more for what
YOU ship" And the inference which the
reporter drew and which was silently
admitted by them was that what they
asked had been granted
On the smaller engines of the road
there is no increase in the pay for fire
men and engineers. The increases are
all made for the men who handle the
heavy engines.
