WILL GIVE ANIMALS
Southern Railway to Reward
Conductors and Engineers.

Many of the railroads having their
general offices in St. Paul have had
their attention called by their employees
to the recent action Of the general
manager of the Southern railway. who
proposes to furnish engineers and
conductors with annual passes of the
road on the basis OF service. Those
who have been five years In the service
are to be given ANIMALS good over the
division on which they are employed;
those having ten years to their credit
are TO receive ANIMALS good over the
entire line, and for those who have
served fifteen years their wives will
be included in the privilege.
The general manager OF the Southern
railway is of the opinion that better
results will be obtained through the
hearty cooperation of his men, but
there are many railroad executives in
the Twin Cities who hold this action
to be III advised. They see in 1t an
other concession to the men, which will
encourage them to demand still more.
1t is therefore declared by these OBJ
Jectors that to magnify the Importance
or the men by a voluntary contribu-
ton of this sort will have a tendency
TO Increase their wants. 1t Is also
thought that with the means at hand
to permit it the men would lay off more
frequently for the purpose Of visiting
other places and that in consequence
the service would suffer.
Railroad men say that 1t is fairly
open to question whether the method
adopted by the Southern railway is
wise. 1t Is not supposed that the sim
pie granting Of annual passes to con-
ductors and engineers will cause any
deeper loyalty than at present.
One of the general managers had this
to say:
'The important question to which
railway managers should give their best
thought is how the personal loyalty OF
the men to the road upon which they
are employed can be gained 1t is not
supposed that the simple granting OF
annual passes to conductors and engi-
neers will produce that result, but it Is
an indication that consideration is be-
ing given to the question. 1 venture to
say that an order issued by the gen.
eral manager of the Southern railway
to the effect that all engineers and con-
ductors would be carried free on any
train Of the system would not be half
as much appreciated by the individual
as the receipt of an annual with his
name thereon"

HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
WOULD HIRE COACHES
Students Reject SchooiBoard's
Rul e Providing Faculty Ath.
IetiC Directors.

The Northwestern Interscholastic
ATHLETIC association held an important
meeting at the Central high school
yesterday afternoon. Vice President
Gaskell, of the Mechanic Arts, presided.
1t was voted to make two changes in
the constitution, one of which was very
important. This was in regard to foot
ball coaches. According to the new
constitution which was drawn up by
the school boards Of the two cities and
adopted at the last meeting of the
Northwestern, no high school football
team can have as a coach a man who
is not a teacher in that school. 1t has
been the custom of a majority Of the
teams of the Twin Cities to have pro-
fessional coaches and the athletic as
sociattons of these schools instructed
their delegates to vote for an amend
ment allowing coaches as heretofore.
The amendment was passed unani-
mously yesterday, but will have to be
approved by the two boards of edu-
cation before it can go into effect The
other amendment changed the date of
the election of officers from the last
Friday in February 70 the second
Thursday in January.
/ The other important business before
the ASSOCIATION was the discussion of
the annual indoor meet which is held
In the university armory during Feb
ruary or March. All the ST. Paul and
saltwater delegations were opposed to
1t on the ground that athletes from
those cities had no place to train for
such meet In former years they
have used the st. Paul armory, but
that was torn down last year, while
the Minneapolis boys have the use of
the Minneapolis Y. M. C. A. and the
university armory. The st. Paul Y. M.
/ c. A. gym is too small for the prac-
/ tice. Some of the Minneapolis boys
claimed that it would establish a bad
precedent if the Indoor" was cut out,
/ but the motion was finally carried by a

GRAIN RATES TROUBLE
EASTERN RAIL LINES
Lake Traffic May Cause War Between
Trunk Lines.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16-Harmony of
rates In trunk line territory is threatened,
the Buffalo-New York lines opposed to the
Buffalo Philadelphia New York lines hav
ing served notice that the freight rate
on lake grain for export will be reduced
Wednesday to cents for 100 pounds be-
tween Buffalo and New York.
This reduction means an abolition OF the
differentiaI initiated by the Pennsylvania
and the Lehigh Valley in favor Of Phila
delphia last summer and is designed to
give the port of New York the same privi-
elege heretofore enjoyed by Philadelphia.
An effort is being made to confine the
fight to the comparatively insignificant
item of lake grain for export, but fears
are expressed that it may spread to other
classes of freight and upset the hitherto
harmonious conditions in trunk line ter
rttory.

BURLINGTON CUTS ITS
EASTERN GRAIN RATES
Big Reduction Is Made to Meet Gulf
Competition.

CHICAGO. Feb. 16-The great rate
war in which the Western roads are en-
gagged threatens to involve all the lines
between the Missouri river and the At
lantic seaboard The Burlington and the
Chicago & Alton have just given notice
that they will put in effect a rate from
Missouri river points to Baltimore New
port News and Norfolk Of Is cents for 100
pounds. This Is only 3 cents higher than
the rate from Kansas City to the Gulf
ports.
The action was not taken on account Of
the reduction made by the Great West
ern and North Western roads, but is in
conformity with the position they have
taken during more than q year, that the
differences in the grain rate between the
Gulf aud South Atlantic ports should not
be more than cents for 100 pounds.
The rate announced by the Burlington
and Alton from Missouri river points to
South Atlantic ports is / cent less than
the regular tariff rate of the. Eastern
lines from St. Louis to the seaboard This
cuts out the rate between the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers.
1t Is said by the Burlington officials
that under their arrangements with the
Eastern roads their system gets an arbi-
trary OF cents for 100 pounds. This
leaves only 10 cents to the Eastern lines
or cents less than the regular tariff
rate.

Governor Issues Labor
Day Proclamation.

Governor Morrison yesterday
issued the following Labor dav
proclamation.
In the presence of history and
contemplating the course of events
through the centuries mankind
must acknowledge labor as the
essential ingredient and ruling
element III all human development.
Nations, communities and in
dividuals advance and prosper as
their labor is protected and re-
Warded. Human selfshness alone
mars the harmony of progression
and begets discord between classes
whose interests are independent.
The just settlement of differences
between capital and labor is the
problem of the times. 1t is one OF
government and its solution must
recognize the dignity and worth of
those who toll and their command
in every economy of life COM
mensurate with right living.
Ihe better to emphasize all this,
and III the interests of a wider
brotherhood and deeper sympathy
among men, the federal government,
for the District of Columbia, and
many of the states of the Union,
have designated day as lega,
holiday, to be observed as Labor
day. The state of Idaho has not
designated such day by statute
yet precedent for its observance
is established and Our people are il
full sympathy with the patriotic
thought.
Therefore, l, John 7. Morrison
governor of Idaho, do earnestl,
recommend the celebration, by oul
citizens, of Monday, September 5
1904, is Labor day. Let ther.
be to the extent possible cessation
of the usual occupations ant
gathering together of those who toi
and of those who employ labor II
the end that mutual interests may b
recognized and honored and 4;
broader sympathy established
Let the conventions assemble unde
the banner of brotherhood ant
exalt the truth that Labor, wild
as earth, has it's summit in heav
en-.
In witness whereof, I hav
hereunto set my hand, and cause'
to be affixed the great seal of tn
state of Idaho. Done at Boise City
