4 WORD TO R. R. MEN
Railway Age Urges Upon Them the
=: Danger of Pushing De-
II mands Too Far.
Wages Advanced Too Far May
>. Prove Less Permanent Than
! More Moderate Scales.

I'm commenting on the dissolution of the
Wabash injunction, the Railway Age says:
THE labor situation the country over is
serious 1t is probably less acute in the
railway field than in some others, but we
believe that if a strike Of any magnitude
among railway employees should take place
I at the present time it would be most bit
ter, one, and the result, however costly
and burdensome to the railways would be
Immensely disastrous to- railway, labor.
! Railway employees, generally speaking, al
ways have been comparatively well paid
and the wage adjustments that have taken
place during the last year or two have for
the most part been decidedly one-sided.
The employees have usually got the big
end of the bargain, with the inevitable
consequence of a feeling of elatiOH and a
sense of power which has not contributed
to good discipline. When President
| Roosevelt was made a member of the
| Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, the
| firemen as well as members of other
! unions in the railway service felt Justly
| proud. When F. P. Sargent, the chief of
| the firen1en's brotherhood, appointed
| by President Roosevelt to the responsible
| position of commissioner of immigration.
| the railway men again had cause for pride.
/ The recent announcement that Edgar e.
! Clark, the head of the conductors broth
J Jerhood. would be appointed to the position
of assistant secretary of commerce and
! labor, tended to still. further enhance this
feeling. Now. we have no criticism to
i make of President Roosevelt either for

The Construction Placed Upon HIPS Cut.
Off in Nebraska.
Chicago, April 4.-The Tribune this
morning publishes the following: +F-
The opinion prevails among western
railway officials that if the Burlington
carries out it's project of building a line
this year from Ashland, Neb., to Sioux
City to connect the Burlington and Great
Northern railways, it will mean a war
between the Hill and Vanderbilt interests
At present the Vanderbilt, or the North
Western interests own two roads between
Omaha and Sioux City, both parallelins
the Missouri river, one on either side.
Their monopoly of this territory has Gen
abed them to control a large volume Of
business from Kansas City, st. Joseph
and Omaha to Sioux City, the twin cities
and the head of the lakes. 49, H f'.
When James J. Hill acquired control oil
the Burlington he found himself with a
complete Missouri river system, except
for the 100 miles gap between Sioux City
and Omaha. Efforts have been made to
bring about an arrangement with the
Vanderbilts by which business could be
handled in Great Northern and Burlington
trains over the North-W Westerns track
from Omaha to Sioux City. The North
Western people, however, would listen to
no proposals. and in consequence the Hill
people decided to carry out their project
