NO STRIKE YET.
Ballots of Rio Grande MachiniSts Have
Not Yet Been Received.

Denver, March 1.-THE News says:
''All employees in the mechanical de-
partment of the Denver & Rio Grande
were vest erd day required to sign printed
slips containing the rules under which
the company expects to operate in the
future.
THE new rules provide for a ten
hour day instead of nine hours. as
agreed upon in the former contract
and only four holidays during the year
instead of all the holidays usually OBJ
served by union men. The four days
to be recognized as holidays are
Christmas, Fourth of July, Labor Day
and Thanksgiving.
1.-THE company reserves the right to
alter these rules at it's option. Only a
few Of the men signed the slips. and
although it is declared that failure to
sign might result in dismissal, the ma
jority OF the employees turned back the
agreement.
"a few days ago notices were posted
in all the Denver & Rio Grande shops
stating that the regular hours would
be resumed, and the regular force re-
employed on March 10. The rules is
sued Yesterday are considered by the
men as an abrogation of the former
rule.
sAll the ballots in the machinists'
strike vote have not been returned, but
they are expected in before Saturday
night 1t is claimed the vote is in
favor Of striking to protect the con-
tract. but the actual returns of the
ballot will not be made public. If the
vote is for a strike, one of the grand
officers will be called to Denver to
hold a final conference with the rail-
road officials before action is taken"

FOR FEDERAL 2-CENT RATE.
National Travelling Mems Organiza-
ton Petitions Congress.

Washington, March 12.-The sub
ject for a 2-cent per mile maximum
passenger fare in the United States
was up for hearing today before the
foreign commerce. Representatives
of the American Travelling Mems
League of the United States ad-
dressed the committee in support Of
the Su1zer bilh making compulsory
the sale by railroad companies of in
Interchangeable mileage books. An
amendment to the interstate COM
meroo act to authorize railroads to
carry q blind passenger and his at
tendant on one full fare was urged.
Representative Norris OF Nebraska
spoke in behalf Of the bill to require
railroad companies to charge no more
for an interstate passage between two
given points than the total of the To-
cal state fares between those points.
Among those who addressed the
editor of the American Commercial
Traveller; Fred Cans of New York.
president of the American Travelling
Mems League Of the United States;
former Judge Benjamin Franklin of
New York, counsel to that organiza-
dent of the Columbia Polytechnic IN
stitute for the Blind of this city, and
Representative Allen of Maine.
Mr.. Bartcher informed the COM
mittee that there were in the United
States practically 100000 commercial
travellers, each of whom is virtually a
freight solicitor for the railroads,
creating business for common car
riers every day in the year. He ad-
vocated 1,000-mile interchangeab bic

laputepec hustle.

nary TO make Chaputepec hustle.
The principal contention seems to be
only for the second and third moneys.
Angelus, a stablemate of Chapultepec,
figures to have as good a chance Of
getting part of the purse as any other
entrant. He has shown great speed,
and has won several closely contested
events. Miss Sain is getting a, steady
prep for the event, but is still short
of hard race. st. Ilario is another
that will be fighting it out for a part
of the purse at the finish, while Aunt
Rose, E. T. Shipp, Pinkola and Wood
lane will also have to be considered
regarding the division of the smaller
part Of the money.
If Chapu1tepec captures both Der
bies he will be reserved for the rich
eastern stakes. According to report,
Burlew has refused an offer OF $50, 900
for his colt, claiming that he Is worth
more as a bread winner. Chapultepec
has won over $4,000 since he has
worn colors, and If he retains his good
form he should double this amount
this season. Out of sixteen starts he
has won six. finished second In three
and was third once.

Items From Washington.

Washington, March 12.-Congress-
man Fulton introduced. q bill in the
house Wednesday for the establish
ment of subtreasury at Oklahoma
City. The bill Is Identical with that
introduced by Congressman Scott re-
Gently for a subtreasury at Kansas
City, Kan.
The postoffiee department has &C
copied the proposal of e. E. Blake
and son to lease new quarters for the
postoffice at Liberal, Kan, on the
south side of Second street, between
Kansas and Lincoln avenues, for a
term of five years from July 1, 1908,
including complete equipment, heat,
light. safe, water, etc.
Congressman Anthony of Kansas is

Kansas LabOrers Say 1t Would

A Canvass Among Miners Shows
Satisfaction With Wages.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 12.-Be-
cause the executive committees Of the
mine operators and miners union have
met and failed to agree upon a wage
schedule or signed any agreement. it
looks now as though there would be a
strike among the miners all over the
country. This will effect about 1000
miners in and around Leavenworth.
Considerable comment is being made
among the miners employed in this ter
ritory. They argue that they will be
strike is called. From Pittsburg, Kan,
and other mining camps in the state
as We'll as in Missouri 1t is generally
believed that a strike is unavoidable.
The agreement now in effect between
the mine owners and the miners union
expires April 1. The executive commit
tee of the union and Of the mine own
ers met in Indianapolis, Ind, the last
OF FEBRUARY to agree on a schedule of
rates and other details. After a few
days. adjournment was taken without
any agreement being reached. There
was no expression given as to a time
when another meeting would be held,
and it is now generally believed by both
the operators and miners that the
time is too short to reach an agree
ment before the expiration of the one
now in effect.
Two years ago the present agree
ment was entered into, although it
was not made until the miners had
been on a strike two months. At this
time President John Mitchell, of the
union, ordered the men to remain at
work but his order was generally dis
regarded.
While strike is expected, 1t is not
believed it will last long. In the first
place 1t would be a great hardship on
the miners to go on a strike at this
time in view Of the financial furry Of
yet been eliminated. A canvass of
several Of the miners here yesterday
showed they were unanimously in ia
vor of continuing at work. They state
they are receiving better wages from
the Leavenworth mines than the
miners do in most places, the work
is not so hard, and much safer. The
most of them are married men and
are looking to the welfare of their
families. They also state 1t would be
nearly impossible to get a better wage
concession from the operators because
of the financial conditions.
Ed Carroll is a member Of the gen.
era1 executive board of the mine own
ers. While he did not state that there
would be a strike at this time, he adj
mitted that it was very likely there
would be. He says it all depends as
rnittees are able to get together on
an agreement before April 1.
E. w. Snyder is also of the belief
that a strike is eminent in view Of the
meeting at Indianapolis and adjourn
ment without any action. He does not
expect it to- be Of a serious nature or
last long.

ARE GUARDING THE CHURCH.
Methodists at Chanute Fear Fanatics
Will Carry Out Threat

Chanute, Kan, March 12.-Because
they feared the writer's Of the black
hand letter would execute their threat
to wreck the Methodist church, the
trustees asked the authorities to post
a guard around the building last
night. 1t will be remembered that a
threat of dynamite was made in the
letter received by the Methodist pas
tor and previous experience lead the
church board to take precautionary
measures to protect the church prop
erty.
It will be recalled that the Method
lists suffered the loss Of one place of
worship, the old frame church which
stood on North Highland fifteen or
more years ago. 1t was destroyed by
fire following church crusade
against Vicious interests. A fire at
the rear Of the Christian church a
few years ago was also deemed of
incendiary origin and was accredit ed
to some fanatic.

New Orleans, March Ion next
Saturday the cream of the 3-year-old
division will fight out the finish in the
Ores cent City Derby at one mile and
an eighth over the fair grounds course.
The amount of the purse, which will
net the winner around $4,000. is a
strong incentive to the owners, so the
field is sure to be classy and fairly
large.
This is the first of the two rich
stakes in the south, the City Park

present time 1t appears as if Burlew

tepec, the half brother of De Mund.
He is admitted to be the fastest g.
year-old that has raced at the Crescent
City tracks in many years
A few weeks ago it was rumored
that Sam Hildreth intended to ship
his pair of flyers, Uncle and Meelick,
from the coast to race in the Crescent
City Derby, but it is now unlikely that
Hildreth will be represented. Chapul-
tepec has defeated the best of his age,
and also older horses, so easily at a
mile that there is no racer in New
Orleans that looms UP as a possible
contender.
Chapultepec has started three times
at New Orleans and won every race
under wraps. His best outing was in
the New Years Handicap, when he
carried the crushing impost of 126
pounds and celebrated his birthday by
cantering the eight furlongs in the fast
time of 40 3-5. There is no question
that he could have negotiated the
route much faster if he had been
pressed, but the race was only a cake
walk for the son of Graciosity.
The Derby closed with eighty-six
entries, and the declarations have left
thirty-four eligibles. There is much
talk from the track that The Shaugh-
ran. a Whitney castoff, is a Sleeper
for this event. and that his owner, V.

Cheap Summer Rates. Are Prac.

Roads Will Make Usual COnces.

CHARGESOF BADFAITH
Different Lines Failed to Hold
Together Against Reductions.
Other Items Of Interest i'm
Railway Circles.

Despite the efforts of the railroads
east and west to maintain a minimum
OASIS OF z cents mile for passenger
business, there no longer is doubt that
during the coming season reduced rates
Will be made everywhere, as in the
past.
Ih1s means that people will be able
to go to the summer resorts at the
OLD reduced rates Of about cents
mile 1or the round trip, and that for
all big conventions which partake Of
national or international character
a similar rate will be made. The rail-
roads are now charging one another
with bad faith. which is resulting in
breaking down the barrier they were
trying to erect against reduced rates
for the summer business.
In the monthly meeting of the West
ern Passenger association last week.
It was whispered about that the agents
OF. the Burlington road had secured q
very large movement to the Denver
Democratic national convention by
guaranteeing reduced rate of s
cents mile for the round trip.
The Burlington people deny this story
emphatically, but belief in it is assign
ed as the reason for the other roads
deciding to take immediate action and
announce summer tourist rate of $50
from Chicago to the Colorado common
points. This rate will, therefore, be
available for the national Democratic
convention.
The Great Western practically gave
notice that it would apply the same
rates eastbound to the Chicago Re-
publican national convention, and also
westbound to all conventions which
are to be held in st. Paul.
In the east, the New York Central
lines are being charged with playing
politics by assuring the officials of the
National Educational association of a
reduced rate If they would hold the
convention along their roads. The con-
vention will be held in Toledo, begin
ming June %, and the officials say they
have been assured a reduced rate.
The same assurance is said to have
been given to the Baptist Young Peo-
pies union, which will hold it's con-
vention in Cleveland, and to the
knights Of Columbus, at Cedar Point,
O.. the Prohibition party for Column
bus and the Grand Army for Toledo.
In this connection 1t is recalled that
when the Grand Trunks representa-
tive made a reduced rate for the In
ternational Live Stock association
convention in Chicago recently the
New York Central lines and other
eastern roads sent a protest to the
general officers Of the Grand Trunk to
the effect that the Grand Trunk S
agent in Chicago was a disturbing ell
ement. Lately there has been change
of sentiment.

Farmer O'Bryan Drove to Girard
Saturday and Then DISAPPEARED.

Girard, Kan, March 1.-THE wife
of Jack O'Bryan, a prominent Walnut
township farmer of near Hepler, has
telephoned to the county court
house, making inquiry regarding her
husband.
Mr.. O'Bryan left home Saturday
morning to drive to Girad and
transacted business in the court
house. He was here during the fore
noon and left for home that after
noon. He has SO far failed to show
up at home. Mr.. O'Bryan has been
in the habit of staying away from
home over night when he would come
to Girard and his wife did not think
much about his absence until Sunday
night when he still failed to show up.
1t is feared that he might have met
with an accident enroute home.
