PRESIDENT RIPLEY AT topeka.
Says There's No Truth in Rumored
Rock Island Alliance.

President Ripley. OF the santa Fe,
was in Topeka for short time Wed.
nesday afternoon on his wayto Califor-
MIA, says the State Journal In speak
ing of the alleged traffic alliance be-
tween the Rock Island and Santa Fe.
he said:
The report is an error throughout.
General Manager Nudge did not con.
firm II in the manner printed in the pa.
pers. The Santa Fee will go on in the
same old way to the Pacific coast, and
as TO the plans of the Rock Island. of
course, we know nothing. There is alb.
sOlutely nothing in common between
the roads OF the kind stated"
II would seem from this that the
deal between the Santa Fe and Rock
Island nas fallen through. and this
view of the case is partially confirmed
by dispatches from New York which
say that the Rock Island Is now nego-
tiating with the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific for an alliance with
them.
The fact that President Ripley quail.
fies his denial by the statement that
'of the kind stated" there is no deal
between the Santa Fe and Rock Island

ance to cover the western part OF the
Santa re Inns has not been brought to
a contamination.
The dispatch concerning the Rock
Island negotiations with Union Pacific
land Southern Pacific Interests is as
follows:
New York, Feb 5--Information
from semi-oflclal sources shows that
IAN alliance or an agreement OF some
sort has been entered into between the

Talks About Strike.
Presluent Ripley says that he be.
lieves there is no danger of a strike by
the Santa Fe trainmen and conductors,
who have made a demand for a 90 per
cent increase in pay. He intimates
that the company Is willing TO agree
uopn fair compromise wage, but says
that 90 per cent is too high.
There will be no trouble in making
a settlement with the trainmen." said
Mr.. Ripley, so long as they are rea-
sonable, but a 20 per cent increase is
too much for us TO consider"

The desire Of Virginia legislators to

of Pennsylvania provides that all coal
is TO be weighed before it is dumped
from the mine cars, unless miners and
operators make some other agreement.
The information the commission had
on the controversy concerning weights
was not entirely satisfactory. Conse-
Quently the representatives OF all par
ties 20 the controversy were summoned
to supply :he commission with addi-
tiOnal facts.
Great care was exercised by Colonel
MOseley. assistant recorder of the com
mission, to prevent any outsiders from
entering the haii where the investiga-
tion was conducted. Only the men
named were permitted to attend the
hearing. and the doors TO the hall were
all securely barricaded, with the excep-
tion OF the one through which the coz
mission entered.
Members OF the commission ana cOun-
sci who attended. refused to make any
statement further than TO admit that
the method OF weighing coal was the
chief subject under discussion. Presi-
dent Mitchell said that he was not at
liberty TO make any statement about the
hearing.
At 12:45 o'clock the commission took
a recess and convened again at o'clock
The members expect to conclude the in
vestigation of the weight controversy
