certain demands were presented which
involved an increase in pay and decrease
In hours Of labor Of members Of this associa-
ton employed by the PETERBOROUGH com
pany which would involve an exorbitant
increase in the operating expenses of the
marlborough company per annum Their
other demands involved dictaton in man

PEPPER TO THE PUBLIC.
Says That the Men Have Not Been Fairly
Treated by Mr. Hedley.

Chairman Pepper Of the Amalgamated
Association issued this statement to the
public late last night after the demands Of
the men had been rejected
To THE Pubic. Many statements
emanating from the officials Of the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company have

an unkindly feeling toward body OF men
who since the advent OF electricity have
been treated with the greatest Of incon-
sideratiou.
1T is only fair under the circumstances
to inform the public OF the treatment ac-
corded TO the men Although an agree
ment has been in force governing all diff
ferences. Notwithstanding this mentioned

He would not admit that he had hurried
on from his home in Detroit TO use his in

said by his friends that he was far from
being in favor OF any action 30 drastic
as that begun by the local officer OF his
association until all means OF arbitration
had been exhausted.
Mr.. Mahon's friends said further that
he was not at all pleased with the way
in which Pepper had been handling things.
Mr. Mahon admitted that he found the
situation much more serious than he had
anticipated He was. he said. on his way
to New England, and reading in the news

he came TO New York at once. He is the
head Of the executive board OF the amalga-

can receive the support Of the entire associa-
ton in a strike.

Offices of the company in the Park Row
Building. each armed with letter, one
addressed to the motormen's committee
and the other to the committee representing

instructions were to deliver them at the
meetings at Majestic and Marian halls.
The letters were signed by General Manager
Hedley. According 10 such information
about them as was obtainable from the
csmp1ny'- officials these replies rejected
unre-ervedly all the demands Of the men
and no further conferences were invited.
The officials Of the company conveyed the
impression that they had put 1t up TO the
men at last TO strike, and stood waiting to
see how the men took II.

poubIe.Trsckins the 6 nta Fe.

It would be colossal undertaking to
double track the Santa Fee all the way
from Chicago to California and the
Gulf of Mexico.
To seriously suggest it now would
provoke a smile from men who know
the cost of such project.
Yet it may happen some day, il bust
ness continues to increase as rapidly
as in the last decade.
This plan of two tracks from the
Great Lakes to Pacific Ocean does not
necessarily imply that the tracks will
be laid side by side. In many cases
cut-offs will be used, thus saving in
mileage as well as train operation.
Using the term in its restricted
sense, by the end of 1905 the Santa Fe
will have more than 800 miles of dou-
BILE track in operation. Second tracks
are now being built as follows: To fin
ish the gap between Chicago and JOLT
ct; between several points in Missouri,
aggregating 4G miles; to complete the
Emporia cutoff; east. west and south
of Newton, in Kansas, and on both
sides of Ration Mountain, in Colorado
and New Mexico.

reduce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against by the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the Order
Of Railway Conductors, and unions OF
the blacksmiths. machinists and teleg-
raphers, boilermakers, railway train
men. carpenters and joiners, clerks
and car men. These organizations en-
ployed an attorney especially to rep
resent them, who urged that such
reduction would work against the
prosperity of the state and lead to
reduction in the number of railroad
employees, as well as of their wages.
The Travellers Protective Association
also protested that reduction, as
proposed. would result in fewer trains
and poorer service.
