comparison with rates paid by lines In
that territory. We now pay the same
as the Grand Trunk railway, whose
tract we run our trains over. The de-
mand is declined, subject to compari-
son as above.
MIR. Ramsey reiterated that the de-
mands of IL per cent increase for pas
senger men and Is per cent for freight
men would not be conceded a of the
Mississippi until competitive roads
made such advances above the pres
ent rates.
Regarding the demand for double pay
for doubleheaders, or their abolish
ment, Mr.. Ramsey said:
1t is our policy not to run double head
ers, except in emergencies. / must decline
to DO more in this item thar to say we
sible.
In conclusion the letter states:
In my office, on January %, Messrs.
Hannahan and Lee admitted that the
rates of pay, rules and regulations OF TIE
Wabash company were as fair, and IN
many cases fairer, to the men than on
other roads, only in some minor points
being out of line. When they are not
we will correct them.
After sending this reply to the COM
mittee Mr.. Ramsey waited in mis- office
until $50 o'clock. a half hour after the
time specified for the strike to be in
augurated In case of his u~nfavorable
decision, and not receiving my further
notification. he said to h Associated
Press correspondent:
Il am now going home to rest after
a hard days work. l do not believe
there will be any strike. There are 900
men of the conductors and engineers
who are opposed to a strike. About
LOO firemen and trainmen favor a
strike. With an engineer In his cab
and a conductor at his post Of duty the
train will be run, because 1t is not
hard to secure a man for firing or
braking. Consequently you see that
with our engineers and conductors
working our trains would move, ever
if there should be a strike"

Shuttle of Last Hours.

Washington, March 5.-When asked
concerning the prospect of the passing
of tho bill opening the Rosebud reser-
walton Congressman Burke, who has
charge of the bill in the house, said:
we are using u utmost efforts to Sc
cure a hearing in the measure before

with us. but owing to the fact that the
democrats are objecting to the passage
OF all measures outside of regular APP
preparation bills, l cannot give any as

In view of the short time and large
amount of work, 1t is not thought any
action will be taken toward opening the
