sItmakes no difference { usawhat
lit costs the SantaFe to do business.
What we are interested in is what it
costs to dpsbusiness on roads within
the state Of Minnesota, and If that
cost can reasonably be reduced or If
anything reasonable can be done to
prevent its@being Increased, it should
be, and the peoplesof this state should
have the benefit Of it without regard
to people living in other sections of
the country.
An examination of the pamphlet
just issued by the general manager
of the Great Northern to the train
men, giving a full report of the cor
respondence and conferences between
him and%the trainmen's committees,
shows that the employees have nothing
of vital Importance to strike for, that
all their reasonable demands have
been granted, and that . grant the,
double-header proposition means the
paying out Of money for nothing, $ex-
cept to bind the bargains the train
men have made with roads in other
sections of the country, and which
would postpone for an indefinite
period the reduction in freight rates.
to which we are entitled.
It should be further remembered
that, in cas- the principle contended
for blythe employees is once granted,
there is no knowing how far it may
! extend" what other demands may be
made and which would have to be
granted, and how much longer a re-.
duction in freight rates may be post.
