DECATUR SHOPS CLOSED.
President Ramsey Locks Out Remain
ing Wabash Employees.

AS announced in Tuesdays State
Journal, the carmen on the Wabash
railroad, numbering in all probably
1900 men, are now on strike because
the officials of that road refused to
listen to the request of the Brother
hood of Railway Carmen of America
for a contract in regard to wage scales
and other matters of the sort. The
officials of the brotherhood sent a re-
quest to the officials of the road some
time ago asking for conference, but
received no reply. They finally sent
word that if some consideration were
not given to their request by noon
Monday all the carmen would be call
ed out No reply was received and
the strike was commenced.
The Wabash and the Burlington are
the only two western roads which
have not contracts with the brother
hood. No attempt had been made be-
fore to secure one from the Wabash
as the employees on that road were not
fully organized, and the rules of the
organization provided that no conces-
sions shall be asked from any road
where there are not at least rs per
cent of the carmen affiliated with the
broth erhood.
I'VE have not made any demands
upon the officials of the Wabash"
said w. L. Detweiler, grand secretary
and treasurer of the brotherhood,
who has Offices in the Hall building,
yesterday afternoon. I'VE have not
been given any opportunity to do so.
President Ramsay posted notices in
the shops last winter saying that he
would be glad to meet representatives
of any of the employees who consid-
cred that they had a grievance but
now almost the first time any such
thing is done he refuses. Announce
ment was made also that there would
be a 10 per cent. raise to employees of
the Wabash, affecting practically
everyone except the car department
and we feel that we should be in
cluded in that raise. The strike will
for the future be conducted from De-
catur, Ill. Our first vice grand master
is located there, and will take charge
of the natter
The Garments brotherhood includes
all classes of wOrkmen in the car
shops, and also car inspectors, car
cleaners, car oilers and other laborers
of that class The most serious fea-
ture of the strike will be the going out
of the car inspectors, as, under the
law, an engineer or conductor cannot
take out a train until the cars in it
have a car inspectors 90. K"
Kansas City is not greatly affected
by the strike. There are only twelve
carmen employed by the Wabash there.
but they are all out. The company's
No, Decatur, III. and Toledo, O. The
shops at Moberly and Decatur are
known to be affected, but it is not
known whether it has extended very
generally to those at Toledo.
BY order of President Ramsay, the
shops at Decatur. ILL.,, were closed yes
terday When the order for a strike
force which regularly consists of 400
men, obeyed and walked out causing
the temporary suspension of work in
the shops.

THE LARGEST BAKERY.
In the World Is That Which Makes
Uneeda Biscuit.

In the World IS mat Wn1cn makes
Uneeda Biscuit.
The National Biscuit company sold
last year forty million dollars worth of
their product including Uneeda Biscuit,
Zu Zu ginger snaps, Graham crackers
and oysterettes.
incorporated in 1885, the National
Biscuit company set for itself an ideal
that had for its highest realization the
perfection of baking; an ideal that in
vOlved an entire revolution Of existing
methods, the upsetting of many tradi-
tfons the creation and execution of
many new ideas.
| One of these ideas was Uneeda Bis
cult, 1.-The soda cracker that made the
nation hungry" and of which the
country has consumed over three hum
bred million packages. Another was
the packing of biscuit, crackers and
waters in air tight packages that
would carry them to the consumers
with all the original goodness and
freshness preserved Still another
was the trade mark, in red and white
on each end of the package, by which
the purchaser was able to distinguish
the baking of the National Biscuit
company, and was assured of its quail
ity and freshness
The Uneeda Biscuit and the company
that makes it has won success solely
on the merits of it's work, thus setting
a conspicuous example for the entire
commercial world.
To the New York factory has lately
been added a fire proof building one
hundred feet wide and two. hundred
| feet long, six stories high
A W. Green is chairman of the board
of directors, who is so largely respon-
sible for the growth and standing OF
the company. He said recently:
when this company started it was
an aggregation of plants. 1t is now an
organized business.
IN the past, managers of industrial
corporations seemed to think it neces-
sary to fight competition or to buy it.
Either course must in the end bring
failure, and this company took neither
course. With its package goods it ap-
pealed to the great American people
This appeal has not been made in
vain
"The fundamental principle upon
which the officers of this company
proceed, is that a corporation must
proceed on the same lines, and its acts
be Judged by the same standard, as the
individual. What is dishonest for the
Individual must be dishonest for the
corporation.
1.-The quality of our goods is main
tanned at a high standard. The sales
of our advertised package goods are
constantly increasing, and we are al
vertising. with the effect that the
value of our goodwill which has be-
come our most valuable asset, is con-
tinually increasing.
1T may be of interest to state that
our New York plant, practically all
under one roof, though separated by
fire walls into distinct buildings, Is the
largest baking establishment IN the
world and the largest manufacturing
plant in New York. An idea of its
size will be perhaps best understood
when we state that it has tWenty-one
acres of floor space.
1.-The total cost of three new build
ings. with their equipment, when en-
tirely completed. viii be about 81.
600 upon which. there has already been
paid the sum of 81, ,017.7s."

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Creates a Department
of Statistics.
James Peabody Given Job of
Chief Statistician.
TO MOVE TO CHICAGO.
All Statistical Clerks Employed
Here to Be Relocated.
Department Under Jurisdiction
TO MOVE TO CHICAGO.
Under Jurisdiction
Of Paul Morton.

Following the announcement of the
creation of the tie and timber depart
ment of the Santa Fe with E. 0.
Faulkner as head comes the news that
the Santa Fe is about to create a de-
partment of statistics, to be in charge
of all the statistical work of the road.
The headquarters of this office will be
in Chicago, and James Peabody has
been selected to be in charge.
For Topeka the unfortunate part of
the news is that about thirty statistical
clerks. employed at the Santa Fe Of
fees here in the various departments,
will be concentrated at the chief stat
istician's office in Chicago.
Up to this time the extensive sta
tlstical work of the company has been
kept up by special clerks in the vari-
Gus departments. A good deal of this
work has been done in the freight
auditors Office, though nearly all of
the offices have had more or less to
do with it. Under the proposed new
arrangement, the various heads of de-
partments will simply supply the in
formation needed to the Chicago
headquarters.
By having all the statistical infor-
nation about the workings of the road
handled by one department, as pro-
posed, it would be possible for the
management of the road to keep itself
know just what information it would
be advisable to give to the public.
There are about twenty statistical
clerks in the Office of w. J. Healy
freight auditor, five in the Office of J.
w. White, auditor of disbursement
and five with J. F. Mitchell, ticket
auditor. This would make total of
thirty clerks to be moved away.
Santa Fe officials here say that no
definite announcement has been made
of the proposed change, but that it is
likely to take place soon.
James Peabody who is slated for
head of the department, is now Paul
MortOTGs statistical clerk. He has
been with the Santa Fe for a number
of years, prior to which time he was
employed as a writer on the Railroad
Gazette. It is understood that the
statistical department will continue to
be under the supervision of Vice Pres
ident Morton
