LOree Retrenchment Policy at
End ON Rock Island.
Horton Shops Opened-Running
Full Time.
MEN ENG HIRE ID.
Orders Are to Work as Many Men
as Possible.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest in
Railroad Circles.

The Loree policy of retrenchment
seems to be over on the Rock Island
railroad.
orders have been received to increase
the shop force at the Horton shops and
beginning yesterday the shops were
worked on full time, or ten hours a day
for the first time in months.
A dispatch from Horton today states
that during the enforced idleness of the
employees of the shops there during a
period of about one month many of the
employees left the city.
All the shopmen who were available
were put to work yesterday, and more
workmen are being taken on as fast
as they can be found.
The yards are full of bad order
freight cars, and there are also many
bad order cars at other points on the
division. All repair work is being sent
in to the shops and busy scenes will
once more ensue at the Horton shops.
Orders have also been received at
the Topeka offices to increase the track
force and section gangs on the Kansas
ing put to work as fast as they can be
found. For a time under the Loree
policy of retrenchment nearly all the
section men and track workers on the
system were laid off temporarily.
The track work demands urgent at
tention and as much work as is possible
will be done before the winter sets in
and the frost get into the ground.
The dispatch from Horton states that
a good feeling prevails among the Rock
Island employees there which has not
been felt before for many months. 1t
states that the employees are glad to
learn that the policy of the road Will
be along the lines of the old Cable man
agement, and they seem glad to know
that the nagement is again in the
hands of the old Rock Island men A
dispatch printed in the Journal last
night tells of the resumption of the
work at the Valley Junction shops at
Des Moines, Iowa. Another and later
dispatch from there says:
About thirty additional men were
given work in the Valley Junction
shops today, most of them being put
to work in the car shops. The increase
in the number of men employed is due
to the orders received for the taking
care of all repair work now needed at
the shops.
The indications are that the number
of men employed will be steadily in
creased from day to day until the shops
are running full force. The order for
the concentration of bad order cars
now in the division at the shops is al
ready bearing fruit and much rolling
stock in need of repairs is coming into
the Valley Junction shop yards.
Another order was promulgated today
directing that the full quota of section
crews be employed and that the ut
most efforts be made to put the track in
first-class condition before the setting
in of the winter season. Under the
Loree management every other section
crew was laid off
1t will probably be ten days to two
weeks before the men in the Transport
tation department will commence to
feel the effects of the change in man
agement.

STANDS UP FOR EASTERN MEN.
New York Post Says Loree Did Not
Have Time to Rehabilitate r L.

The New York Evening Post says:
1t was severe criticism of his methods
and results in operating the Rock Is
land system that led L. F. Loree to re-
sign the presidency of the company.
Loree had over $4,000 miles of railroad
to operate. He started nine months ago,
with the force thoroughly disorganized,
and had been unable to effect the COM
plete harmony which should prevail for
the best results in operating. The Rock
Island system has in three years grown
from a system of 1913 miles to five
times that size. It has grown SO fast
that it was hard to keep track of. 1t
has been a grave problem to operate it
efficiently and is expected to be for
some time to come. For an eastern OPP
Grating man, like Loree, to apply east
ern methods to a system scattered all
over the west and southwest and north
west was an undertaking in which the

GOOD SHOWING OF SANTA FEE.
Comparison of Earnings With the st.
Pail System.

The large increase in the Santa Fe's
gross earnings last year, amounting to
s. $50, S02 or about 9 per cent, at time
when nearly all of the western roads were
showing losses is explained by the large
increase in tonnage of agricultural pro-
ducts and in lumber Traffic in manufac-
tured products fell off heavily, but the in
crease in other products more than offset
this loss.
The following table shows the classih-
cation of the tonnage carried in the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1904, according to the
percentage of total tonnage, as compared
with the fiscal year 1906:

and steel tonnage fell off 80 per cent, and
tonnage of cement, etc, fell off about .

In the last two years the increase in
transportation costs of the ST. Paul syS-
tenn has been greater than the increase OF
the gross earnings. In the same period
the increase in the Santa FEES transporta-
ton costs has been about one-third the
increase III gross earnings. This differ
ence in relative cost is said to be due en-
tirely to differences of management

There have been some changes in the
method of classifying tonnage. but the
above table shows approximately what
has taken place. The company increased
its wheat and flour traffic by over 10000
tons, or 40 per cent. There was some loss
in corn tonnage. The heaviest loss in
nanufac tured products was in petroleum
and other oils, which fell off from $780, 767

1t thus appears that the Santa Fes
necessary costs did not increase so much
as the ST. PauTs. The latter company
was obliged to reduce its expenditures
for maintenance in order to show an in
crease in net earnings, while the Santa
Fe was able to increase its expenditures
for maintenance by over S. 100000 without
showing net loss.

Hepburn Wins Out,

The strong, forcefui character OF
Senator Hey has again been
brought out by the action of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in sending the name
of H. S. Wooley to the senate q
second time for confirmation as as
sayer at Boise. This is a pronounce
ed victory for the senator.
The fight against Wooley was
purely an anti Mormon fight.
A most searching investigation
has been made into Mr.. Wooley's
personal and public record, result
ing. in complete vindiCation.
There was nothing left for his
opponents to stand upon except the
fact that he was a Mormon.
Under our system of government
religious freedom is guaranteed to
all and ones religion can not logic
ally stand as a bar to his political
preferment.
There are thousands of Mormons
in Idaho, and, whatever one may
think of their peculiar system OF
religion, it can not be questioned
that they are industrious, law and
order people and contribute their
full share toward the support of
the government. The suggestion
therefore, to disfranchise them, is
repulsive to sound principles OF
government. Let them be punish
ed If they offend against law and
order, but otherwise let their citi-
zenship be held sacred.
The action of the President in
refusing to listen to this anti.Mor-
mon clap-trap is in keeping with
that strong trait in his character
the courage Of his convictions.

not likely that either party will,

to select delegates to county con-
