RumOr That Three Rock Island
superintendent Will Quit.
COnIen, Abbott and Nichols May
Have to Resign.
ARE NOT IN HARMONY.
Change in Head of Operating
Department May Cause 1t.
All Three superintendent Are
Still at Work.

It is stated on good authority that
several Rock Island division super1n-
tendents have resigned their positions in
compliance with request from the
headquarters of that road at Chicago,
III. This action on the part of some one
of the high officials in Chicago has
caused considerable CONSERVATION among
the employees of the road and is con-
sidered the climax to the many changes
that have been taking place for the last
few months
In fact as matters now stand it is
said that a Rock Island official is nearly
as uncertain of his position as he was
when the road changed hands about two
years ago and so many officials were
thrown out of positions
The three men who are mentioned III
particular as losing their positions are
J. H. Conlen, superintendent of the Ell
Paso division with HEADQUARTERS at Dali
hart, Texas; A. T. Abbott. superintend-
ent of the Colorado division with head
quarters at Colorado Springs. and G. L.
Nichols. superintendent of the Nebraska
division with headquarters at Fa1rDurv.
Neb. 1t is stated that in some way
these men have aroused the ire of the
management and have been asked 10
resign. Just what action on their mart
caused this 'unfriendly feeling IS nor
known, but it is rumored that their
methods of railroading are not in ac-

1AUGHL1N WAS MISTAKEN.
Thought Stock holder Had Right to
Know Company's Business.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Although there were
rumors to the effect that the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Chi
cago & Alton railroad company held
yesterday might result in developments
out of the ordinary. the proceedings
were formal for the most part Henry
D. Laughlin, who holds 300 shares of
the railroad comDany's stock. was
present at the meeting and offered a
resolution for the appointment of a
committee to ascertain the amount of
the indebtedness of the Chicago &
Alton railroad company to the Chicago
& Alton railway company. In addition
to the amount of the indebtedness Mr..
I.aughlin was anxious to know in what
manner this had been incurred The
resolution was placed on the table and
Mr.. Laughlir withdrew from the meet
ing. Mr. Laughlin explained that the
last annual report of the Chicago &
Alton railway company stated that the
railroad company was indebted to the
former IN the sum of $4,490, 943, alleged
to be due on account of advances for
betterments and additions to the prop
erty of the railroad company. It was
this item he wanted explained and he
intimated that an effort was being
made to lessen the value of the railroad
companv's stock

NEW MISSOURI SCHEDULE.
Railroad Commission Wants Reduc-
ton of Is in Freight Rates.

Jefferson City, Mo-. Oct. 9.-The state
board of railroad commissioners have
completed the compilation of the max
imum freight rate schedule for the
railroads operating in Missouri. The
schedule is now ready for the printer,
but it Will be some time yet before it
is given out for publication. 1t is I'M
derstood from reliable authority. how
ever, that the schedule adOpted by the
board makes a So per cent reduction
in the freight rates in this state. This
schedule does not fix a certain rate to
be charged by railroads for the trans
portation of freight. but simply fixes a
maximum rate bevond which the roads
are forbidden to charge. The board will
now. spend two weeks listening to the
rate men of the different roads on this
subject. One week, beginning next
Monday, will be spent in St. Louis, and
the following week in Kansas City

cordance with those of Mr.. Goodnow,
the general manager. If this is true it
may be readily understood Just why
they resigned This is only one of
the reasons given for this unusuaI ac-
tivity on the part of the nagemenJ.
There are several. The one when un-
doubtedly deserves some consideration is
the theory that the recent addition of a
fourth vice president to the staff of Chi
cago officials in the person of John F.
Stevens. accounts for the division super
intendents losing their jobs. II was
stated in the circular announcing his
appointment that he was to have charge
of the operating department. This fact
is considered by some to be especially
significant.
The rumor to the effect that Mr. ABB
bott. Mr.. Conlen and Mr.. Nichols had
resigned their positions was circulated
several days ago. but at that time not
much was thought of it. Since then,
however, the rumor has gained IN
weight and interested parties have
changed their minds in spite of the fact
that the three gentlemen are still at
work and no announcement of their
resignation has yet been made.

lola WANTS A DEPOT.
May Send Committee Here to See

lola wants a new Santa Fe depot, and
may send committee here to present
its wants to the Santa Fe officials. The
lola Register says in support of the de-
mand for a better station:
Without disparaging any other town
ON the Santa F'e in Kansas, lola may
truthfully lay claim to being, compare
lively speaking, the best town on that
line in the state. The freight tonnage
out of this town in a week is more than
the majority of Kansas Santa F'e towns
have in a year, and the passenger traffic
is proportionately great. Few visitors
to the gas belt leave it without coming
to lola. Hundreds of carloads of freight
are shipped out of lola every year 1t
ought to be worth something to a rail-
road to have that kind of a town on it's
system. IF the Santa Fe appreciates
lola, the town would like to have it give
some practical demonstration of its ap-

NO CLERKS UNION WANTED.
L. & N. Railroad Dismisses Forty
Freight Department Clerks.

Louisville. KY. Oct. 9.-The Louis
vile & Nashville railroad has issued
its edict against its clerical employees
joining labor unions. and forty en-
ployes of its freight department are
now hunting jobs elsewhere. As far
as can be learned none of the other
roads have taken such an action.
About a month ago Henry Sanford
came to Louisville and organized a
union of railway clerks affiliated with
the national body. some 400 members
being enrolled. The Louisville & Nash
Vile at once frowned on the movement
and Freight Agent Fl. G. Dempf gave
the men the alternative of quitting the
union or the road. Most of the men
quit the union.
