RAILWAY MEN UNEASY
Labor Situation Causes Much
Concern.

Chicago, Oct. l2.-The labor sit
nation is causing western railroad
management great deal of uneasi-
ness During the past week the exc
cutive committe of general managers
mas held several conferences here to
discuss the situation. la various
parts of the west dieffrent labor or
CARNATIONS have asked for increased
wages, and ON one road, at least
there is danger of a switchmen =
strike. The problem confronting the
general managers is: What is to be
done with past demands aud future
demands which seem certain to Gomez
AT the last session OF the commit
tee 1t developed that the presidents
OF nearly every western road had de.
termined that there shall be no fur
Their increases in wages The unani
nous sentiment, is that the limit has
been reached, and that no more in
creases In pay can be granted.
From the general managers point
OF view the labor organizations have
become unreasonable on account of
the apparent ease with which they
have gained increased wages during
the last few years, and this is bring
ing on unreasonable demands In sew
eral quarters.
1t seems certain from the present
attitude of the general managers that
no labor organization need expect an
increase in wages until the cost Of
rails and railway operation ceases to
advance. One Of the general mana
gers stated yesterday at the oonclu.
sion OF the conference that the wes-
tern roads had practically decided to
stand strike, or strikes rather than
to grant any demand for further in
crease in wages.

bad weather and board for Sundays.

very good crew of men, and all who
desire work under the new scale
would be given employment. large

FINE SANTA FE
FOR REBATING
Road Found Guilty on Sixty Six
Counts

Los Angeles, CAL, Oct. l2.-After
being out twenty minutes, the Jury
In the case OF the government against
the Santa Fe railroad company, on
trial for Relating in the federal court
here, brought in verdict Of guilty
against the railroad on all of the six
ty six counts of the indictment.
Judge Wellborn will announce his
decision next Monday. An estimate
OF the maximum penalty which may
be imposed is 81, $50. 900. The mini
mum penalty is $50. 600.
The charge against the Santa Fa
was that 1t had granted rebates from
it's regular tariff on shipments of lime
by the Guard Canon Lime & Cement
Company Of Arizona. The defense Of
the railroad company was that the re-
bates were CONCESSIONS made for
alleged losses in the shipments dur
ing transit. The trial began on
September 80.
In his decision on the law points
which arose during the trial Judge
Wellborn yesterday laid down point
of law which is held to be one of the
most important which has been en-.
unicated since the interstate com
merce commission was instituted.
He said:
~ hold that the acceptance by the
defendant of a less sum of money
than that named in its tariff for the
transportation of the property des-
cribed in the indictment, if there
has been such acceptance, was a de-
parture from the legal rates and that it
is no justification for such a depart
ure, nor is it any defense to prosecu-
ton thereof, that the acts OF the car
rier we're done in compromise of
claims for loss of property in tran
