i'm Railroad Circles.

1t is the desire of the officials of the
Santa Fe railroad to reassure all en-
ployes who came onto the system to
occupy places made vacant by the ma
chinists who went on a strike last
spring. To accomplish this circular
has been issued by Third Vice Presi-
dent j. W. Kendrick and approved by
President E. P. Ripley setting forth
the position of the company.
''Of all the machinists who went
on a strike against the Santa Fe early
this spring but few are still waiting
for a settlement said General Man
ager H. L. Nudge, TO a reporter for
the State Journal today.
Most of the men have come to a
realization that their cause has been
lost and have taken positions in other
lines of work, some in the cities where
they were employed by the Santa Fe
and others have gone elsewhere. But
the few who still remain unemployed,
of uneaSiness and unrest among the
new employees by circulating reports
of proposed conferences looking to-
wards a settlement OF the strike and
the taking back of all the old en-
ployes.
1--WE want our new employees to
thoroughly understand, continued
Mr.. Nudge. that they are secure in
faithful in the performance of their
duties. they Will be retained by the
company.
MANY of our new employees have
already brought their families to live
at the points where they are employed.
"Of the many others who are
planning to bring their families from
their former places of residence. some
are influenced to not do 80 by the cir
cula ton of reports that the strikers
will be taken back. They hesitate to
bring their families west if there seems
TO be a possible chance that the old
men will be taken back and the new
men thrown out of employment.
And it is this sentiment which we
wish to overcome. Our new employees
will remain on the pay roll of this
company just as long as they continue
to do their duty and to perform their
work.
I'VE have upon several occasions
announced that the strikers will not
under any circumstances be taken
back by the company 1 want to re-
iterate that now.
"Our new employees have proven to
be all that we had hoped them to be.
In many instances we have a, really
better class of workmen than before
the strike. Our motive power is in
better condition than it has been for
a long time.
There has been no cut in wages
since the strike. The rate is uniform
for machinists all over the system.
They are paid "a cents per hour. Many
money than they were before the
strike

the old ones have been broken during
the recent strenuous sessions of the
council
An application of the Topeka Or
phans' home for the use of the au-
ditorium on Thanksgiving afternoon
was referred to the buildings commit
tee.
The council adjourned to meet on
Wednesday, Nov. 16.
Mayor Bergundthal last night serv-
ed notice on the council and on the
Edison company that unless certain
concessions are made in the proposed
Edison franchise he will veto the
franchise. The concessions which
Mayor Bergundthal demands are three
in number, as follows:
L. Lower minimum rate than is
now offered by the company.
,. Requirement that the company
shall put in, when necessary, a longer
service wire than 100 feet, now re-
quired by the franchise. The service
wire is the line connecting the COM
pany's mains with the consumers res
idence.
8. Free light for all the public
buildings owned by the city.
Mayor Opposes Edison.
There was quite a lengthy discus
sion of the proposed franchise last
night, but it was all in the nature of a
preliminary sparring. Nothing was
really accomplished. The friends of
the 1rdncn1Se seemed 10 lack the
strength to warrant them in forcing
the question to a vote, and although
it had just been reported back favor
ably from the streets and walks COM
mittee, they allowed it to be recon-
mitted to the committee of the whole
council for further consideration. The
committee of the whole council will
meet Thursday evening with the Edi-
son franchise as the sole order of bust
ness. The fate of the franchise will
practically be decided at that time.
Mayor Bergundthal made quite
speech in defense of his position. He
said in part:
''This franchise doesn't suit me- 1
have three objections to it, and unless
they are fixed up, 1 shall have to op-
pose the franchise. I don't think the
minimum rate is low enough. At Law
renee it is so cents. and at Newton it
is 81. This franchise makes it S1.5O
in winter and $1.25 in summer. An
other thing is this limit of 100 feet on

A Limited" Jingle.

The following verses were taken from
the log book of the California Limited
train Of the Santa Fe railway:
Across the continent we speed away,
Leading the race to Los Angeles bay;
There's one road that wins by a day,
This is the road 1.-The Santa Fe.'
Over the father of waters away,
A line of steel marks the close of day,
Fitting by field in golden lay,
Sweet with the perfume of new cut nay,
Speed the train of ''The Santa Fe.''
Leaving the plpains of Kansas behind,
The giants of Earth appear in line,
The grim old mountains, the clouds pierce
through,
Their snowy brows salute Manitou.
Again DER the rolling plains we fly,
Soaring the wild horses and cattle nigh;
A day and a night has now passed by,
And into the heart of the Rockies we fly.
Here a land of wild life lies
Canyon and river Giant they be
All under foot of the Santa Fee"
And now comes the dash through desert
sand,
Into a wonderful fairy land,
Beautiful flowers on every hand,
The air perfumed,
And fairy band, bidding Gods welcome
to every man
This is in truth the Promised Land-"Cal-
ifornia.'

No City CrematorY.


Acting upon the advice of the ways
and means committee, the council de-
cided that it would not build a city
crematory as was recommended by the
board of health The ways and means
committee did not reach its decision at
a formal meeting, but three members
of the committee, Green, Howe and
Nellis, signed a report to the effect that
the erection of a crematory at this time
is not practical, which means that the
city can't see where the money would
come from.
The ways and means committee was
little more merciful to the proposed
detention hospital plan. 1t was decided
to have the city engineer submit some
estimates on the cost of building a new
detention hospital This probably
means that if it does not cost too much
the city will decide to build the hos
pital.

ODELL SIGNS BILLS
Rapid Transit and Automobile
 Measures Made Law.
ELSBERG BILL WAS THROWN OUT
Speed of Motor Cars Has Been ReEu- lated to No Greater Rate Than Is ReasOnable and
 Proper.

ALBANY, N. Y., May 4.-Governor Odelk has signed the two rapid transit bills affecting New York city only in troduced by Senator White. The third bill in the rapid transit series, the so called Elsberg bill, was killed by the rules committee of the assembly. One of the bills signed removes the $50,- 100000 limitation upon subway bond issues and substitutes therefor such amount as may be prescribed by the board of estimate.
 Governor Odell also signed the three bills of Senator Hill supplanting the automobile law of last year. The im- portant provision affecting present holders of certificates is that they must return them, with $1, to the sec retary of state for the issue of a new certificate with the old number. First fsTrs also must be registered with a like fee.
 With reference to speed, the old de- fail regulations are replaced by new provision fixing the limit at mo great CT rate than is reasonable and proper" on public highway nor so as to en- danger the life or limb of any person or the safety of any property. Where the territory contiguous to the public highway is closely built up the maxi mum Is a mile in six minutes, in city or village a mile in four minutes, else where outside of city or village a mile in three minutes
 The law takes effect at once, and thirty days are allowed for compliance
 Altogether the most important and most drastic labor law passed by the last legislature has been signed by ! Governor Odell.
 It amends the labor law, transferring from the factory inspector to the com missioner of labor Jurisdiction over tenement house manufacture. 1t pro- vides that no license for such manu- facrure may be issued while there ex- ists in the tenement in question any contagious, infectious or communicable disease or any uncomplied with order or violation of the local health authori- ties indicating any insanItary condi- ton. An affirmative certificate of the local health authorities must be re- duired before the place may be H. censed.
