ASK BETTER PAY.
Santa Fe Employees on western Lines
Want Shorter Hours.


San Bernardino, Cal, Nov. 24.-In
common with the employees of all 9TH
er western roads the men employed in
the train service of the Santa Fe Coast
lines are said to be preparing to ask
for an increase in their wages, or rath-
er a reduction of their hours, which
amounts to the same thing.
1t is said the engineers are the
prime movers in the matter, but that
the conductors and others of the train
service will join in the . effort. In
fact the movement is on all over the
western roads Al statement has az
ready been credited to President Rip
ley that if the officials of the Santa
Fe can come to an agreement with the
Southern Pacific and Salt Lake roads
that the increase will soon be forth
perhaps not receive quite all they ex-
pect or desire.
At the present time the engineers in
the passenger service of the Santa Fe
work eight hours for a day, while
those in the freight service work ten
hours In either class 100 miles is a
days work whether the full time of 8
or 10 hours is actually consumed or
not. The pay also ranges from So. 5
for passenger service and $4.35 fol
freight service, up, according to the
class of engine they run, the pay go
ing higher with the larger size engines
According to the credited statement
of President Ripley, the company
seems disposed to grant something. sc
it is not expected that any serious
breach will result between it and the
men in the train service.

Moore YOalSIITn FACTION watching
Hartman Illinois Central Plans.
Rock Island officials are watching
with keen interest all developments in
connection with the change of admin
alton on the Illinois Central road.
They realize that a change is-bound to
have an important bearing on the
future OF their own lines. as we'll as on
those Of the Gould and other south
western systems. They appreciate
that something akin to a revolution in
the traffic situation is bound to result
from the practical consolidation of the
Illinois Central and Hartman systems.
These two systems form a complete
paraIlelogram of the entire section be-
tween the Mississippi river and the
Pacific and line drawn from Chicago
through Omaha to San Francisco and
the southern international boundary,
throughout which the two systems viii
be keen competitors for all the traffic
in sight.
Rock Island officials profess to be-
lieve the advantageous position their
lines occupy in the territory, together
with the benefits which will accrue to
them from their new extensions in
Texas, will insure for them their share
of the aggre gate tonnage of the sec
ton. no matter what happens regard
ing the amalgamation of other sys-
TENS They believe they now are in an
impregnable position and have moth
ing to fear, although they are free to
admit that the Hartman interests will
be materially benefited from the
change that has occurred.

WON LIGHTNING ROD CASE.
Farmer Near Huron, by Aid of the
Court. Beat the Agents.

Atchison, Nov. 24.-Frank Wohletz.
a farmer near Huron. won his light
ming rod case. In June, 1905, accord
ing to the evidence, a lightning rod
agent came along and got permission
from Wohletz to put lightning rod
on his house. as an advertisement.
Woheltz was to pay a nominal fee of
$3.50. The agent had barely begun
the work when he went away. Later
on two agents appeared and completed
the work. They then struck Woheltz
for $240, and said the first agent had
no authority to agree to erect the rods
as an advertisement. Wohletz wouldn't
pay, but finally gave his note for $3.50.
The note was given to one J. H. Nc
Cam, and it passed into the possession
of a man named f. E Crane, who in
dorsed to w. B. Killer, an Ottawa, KAN
banker Killer sent 1t to the Huron
State bank for collection.
.Wohletz sued for the recovery of the
note and a jury in the district court
decided yesterday that he was entitled
to it, as it was obtained through fraud,
and without proper consideration.

The B. g o. Directors Election.

At the annual meeting of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad, the old directors
were reelected. The. vote of stock,
which was large, was mainly by proxy.
The meeting failed to reveal the pro-
gress of Mr.. HaFriman's plans regard
ing the. property, but this was expect
ed, as the transfer of anything like a
predoninatiDg interest in the Baltimore
& Ohio to the Union Pacific has been
impractical BILE under existing money
market conditions. It was pointed out
in Wall street, apropos of the meeting,
that pending the contamination of the
actual sale there is no reason why the
Hartman interests should take actual
possession of the property, particularly
as the present management. that Is to
say, the Pennsylvania railroad, is act
ing in entire harmony with Mr.. Harri-
man.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being SO, Theodore R%oosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-

licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam

Help us achieve a great victory.

Reds TAXES BOOSTED NEEDS Of THE COMPANY
COMMENT ON STATE LIFE
Rough Notes Says the Insurance Com
pany's Mutual Character Should not
be Forgotten-A Competent Board of
Directors is Suggested.

Indianapolis, Aug, 4, (SplD-Rough
Notes, the local insurance publication,
devOtes considerable space this week
to the State Life Insurance Company
and the State Agency Company. The
report of f. E. RittenhOuse, deputy
superintendent of insurance in Colo
RADIO, is used in full, and editorial com
ments are made. The editorial says,
in part:
1t would appear that what the State
Life needs most is a competent board
of directors of representative policy
holders in order that too much respOn.
sibility and power might not be vest
ed in the single heads of departments.
1t is admitted that the agency scheme
did not have the unanimous approval
of the present board of directors,
which is composed of five officers.
The board should be larger and have
a proper representation for the policy
holders. A close corporation is not
consistent in the mutual life insurance
company. A movement of such Wit
al Importance as was the stock agency
scheme should not be altogether in the
hands of officers of the company, car
rying with it the disposition of a
perpetual renewal contract, for all of
which officials of the State Life are
entirely responsible"

is FIGHTING CIGARETTES

Miss Lucy Page CASTOR national SUI
perintendent of the Anti-Cigarette
League; r. A. Ogg, of KOkomO, presi-
dent OF the league in Indiana, and
Senator Parks, of Plymouth, father
of the Indiana anti-cigarette law, have
held a conference at WinOna, when
they planned further work toward sup
pressing the cigarette in this state.
Senator Parks is going to revise the
law and offer it to the mex session
Of the Indiana Legislature. He will
strengthen it in the weak clause which
the Supreme court pointed out, when
it found hat the law did not prevent
the smoking of the coffin nails"
Miss CASTOR is travelling over Indi-
ana in the effort to rOuse the moth
ers and fathers against the habit, and
she will spend considerable time at
WinOna Lake this summer talking
with Sunday school and church work
ers on how to conduct campaigns
against the cigarette in local commun-
tiles.
Miss CASTOR says that what is need
ed to make the present Indiana law
thcttlNC 10 al ld" NUN tOllSItoS WIFI
would forbid the shipping of Cigaret-
ties from n state into another where
there is a legal act against them. She
has organized a committee of 100 ad-
ultS in ~LOganSpOrt to conduct a local
campaign against the cigarette evil.
She has organized a similar COMMIT
tee at Fort Wayne and says she has
invitations from many points in Indi
ana which she hopes to accept. These
committees may work under existing
anti-cigarette organizations, or may
conduct their W campaigns. Miss
CASTOR will come to Richmond later
on to organize Il committee.
She is trying to interest WOmen's
clubs churches, schools and other or
CARNATIONS and array them in active
effort against the cigarette. She al
ready has the support of the w. c. r.
L. in every community where it is
represented. Miss Castor says the
people of Indiana have not heard the
last of the effort to drive the cigarette
out of the state by n means-that
they are only beginning to hear of it.
