Facing Strike.

A strike Of the orders Of railroad
trainmen and conductors on the
Hartman lines In Texas and Louis.
lana Is imminent. For several days
the men have been voting on the
proposition resulting In the confer.
ence held in Chicago throughout the
month Of February, and, while the
returns are not complete. there have
been enough votes counted to show
the sentiment of the men Is to strike
rather than accept the proposition OF
the company, The trouble comes
out Of the demands made by the
trainmen and conductors on all roads
west Of Chicago in December. A con-
ference of the officials OF the roads
and the unions was held In that
month. and second conference, last
ing twenty-four days, was held in
that city In February. The demands
of the men were for increases in wag'
es. ranging to a minimum Of Is per
cent for passenger train conductors.
The railroad officials offered In.
creases ranging to a maximum of I
1-2 per cent.

Trice for General Mananer.

The report that Leroy. Trice, pres.
ident of the International and Great
Northern, is to be elected vice
president and general manager OF
the Missouri Pacific and Iron Noun.
tain, succeeding c. S. Clarke, resign
ed, has met with the most hearty ap-
proval of Missouri Pacific men in
this territory. Although Mr.. Trice is
said to have denied the report that
George Gould had offered the place
to him. it Is generally believed that
he will eventually be the man to
take it. He is recognized as one Of
the best railroad men in the coun-
try. and was offered the position now
said to be open to him when Mr..
Clarke was first elected. He declin-
ed the offer at that time, however. on
the grounds that the Missouri Pa
cific and Iron Mountain were badly
run down and that he did not care
to endanger his reputation by asso
ciating himself with such property.
1t is said that Mr.. Clarke has done
very little for the betterment of the
road, the passenger department es-
pecially, seeming to have griev-
ance against him. In the event OF
the selection of Mr.. Trice, it is ex.
pected that a radical change in many
of the policies of operation of the
road will Immediately follow.

 Answering your letter of this date; Whenever ahy considerable number of voters request vote on a proposed change in their organic law. the re- quest should be granted.
