the pay roll this month is of the 1arg-
est in the history of the shops. The

additional men during the month, but
the trainmen have also put in extra

any falling off of work at the shops
and additional men are being employed.
The prospects are very bright now for

STATE Y. Nj. c. A. WORK.
Secretary Manly of Topeka Makes
Visit to SaIina.

WISH 10 SttItna
! Salina Union: j e. Manly of To-
peka, state secretary of the Y. NJ
c. A. was in Salina today in the
interests of the organization. He told
of some prospects for a Y. NJ. G. A.
building for Salina and the growth
of these institutions over the state
He said:
From what have gathered from
those interested in the matter, L don t
believe it will be a very long time
before Salina will have a fine Y NJ.
c. A. building.
while this is not saying that any
definite steps have been taken in this
direction, il seems to me that there is
a feeling among the leading business
men here in favor of such an inStitu-
ton in the near future, when other
public institutions have been paid for.
"A committee has been organized at
Harrington to push such a project and
a similar movement is on at Hutchin-
son. Another Y. NJ. c. A. building
campaign is progressing at Hutchin-
son.
AT Coffeyville. Fort Scott and
Pittsburg a vigorous canvass is being
conducted for funds to improve the
building and equipment that they al
ready have for the organization.
This shows how the Y. NJ. c. A.
is growing over the state.
1--WE now have II organizations
over Kansas. This includes fourteen
city Y. NJ. c. AS which are housed
in good buildings and first class equip
ment.
Then there are forty-five student
organizations conducted in connection
with the different schools and col
leges. The railroads have ten Y. NJ.
c. A. buildings furnished with
equipment.
Outside of these we have 273 cor
responding organizations in towns
and country communities. While
these are not fully organized, their
representatives look after the young
men who belong to them.
when one of these young men
moves to another place where there
is a Y. NJ. C A. the secretary of his
home Y. NJ. c. A. notifies the secretary
of the organization in the place where
the young man is going. The former
gives the latter the young mans new
address. AS soon as possible after
the young man arrives he is hunted
up and welcomed by the representa-
tives of the Y. NJ. c. A. in his new
location.
In this way we have kept track of
400 young men who have changed
from one place to another this fall

TOOK AWAY THE COIN.
Estimated That Kansans Won $4,000
at Lincoln Saturday

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 1S.-It is
estimated that the friends and sup
porters of Kansas won between $4,000
end $4,000 on the game Saturday. Up
until the last moment there was not
much Kansas money in sight bI1t
when the team arrived at Lincoln the
rooters had their courage buoyed UP to
such point that they were willing to
put up the good coin of the realm.
The Nebraska rOoters were over con
f1dent and Haunted money at to /
and to l in the Jayhawkers' faces.
As result of this display of courage
they got much more money covered
than they would have otherwise At
one hotel alone more than $4,000 was
turned over to Kansas rooters imme-
diately after the game

New York, Nov. 1S.-Traffie agents
representing all the important railroads

Boom to the Steel lndustry-wiII Be
the First New Rails Deceived For
More Than a Year. as Orders For
1908 Were Turned Down BY the
Steel Companies.
Philadelphia, Dec. 15.-The Pennsyl
yania Railroad company has Just
placed orders for $4,000 tons OF steel
rails for delivery as early In 1909 as
possible. The order is reported to be
about equally divided between open
hearth and Bessemer rails. The price
for Bessemer Is s2S per ton and for
the open hearth rails about 81 or 50
per ton higher,
The order is divided as follows
United States Steel corporation tllli-
nols and Carnegie Steel companies).
62. 500 tons; Cambria Steel company
25. 900 tons; Pennsylvania Steel com
pany, $4,000 tons; Lackawanna steel
company. 1900 tons. and Bethlehem
Steel company 10000 tons.
The delivery OF these rails Will be
the first rails received for more than
year. as the Pennsylyanias orders
for the current year were not accepted
by the steel companies and no rails
we're made III May. 1907. the company
ordered l47. 900 tons for 1908 delivery
There was a disagreement as to the
price and specifications and the order
was turned down by the steel com
ponies. Last February the order was
renewed, but only for $4,000 tons. This
order was not filled, and the Pennsyl
Vania has not bought any rails this
year as q result
The order Is not a. large as was
expected. as the company has been
using about $4,000 tons annually. and.
not getting any this year, II was sup
posed that when an order was placed
Il would be large one.
The report that the company will
divide It's order between open hearth
and Bessemcr rails Is an important
factor as this company has in the past
almost ignored open hearth rails.
While the order is not as large as was
expected. II will be a great boom for
the steel industry II It is made as re

put by the commission In the course
Of an inquiry concerning the dealings
Of Mr.. Hartman as president Of the
Union Pacific railway In the stocks OF
other railroad companies. many OF
which are competing lines. In the
course of his opinion Justice Holmes
said that the commissions inquiries
should be confined TO cases In which
complaint had been made. He said that
privacy should be properly regarded in
proceedings begun by the commission
for its own purposes He also said that
the powers conferred in the interstate
commerce law exceed any which have
ever been delegated by a constitu-
tional body OF lawmakers.
In a dissenting opinion, which was
concurred in by Justices Harlan and
McKenna, Justice Day declared that
the effect of the opinion of the major
ity of the court would be to materially
narrow the scope OF the interstate
commerce law. These three justices
took the position thlt the questions Of
the commission so far as they were
sustained bv the United States circuit
court for the Northern district Of New
York, were entirely proper under the
law and should have been answered
by Hartman and Kahn. Justice Har-
Ian went even farther and held that all
OF the commissions questions should
have received responses.
