CAUSED BY
BIG CUT IN THE RATE

a bombshell was exploded in
the ranks of Western traffic men
Monday when the Union Pacific
railroad suddenly and without
notice to the other roads. an
nounced Il rate of 1 cent per mile
on tickets from Denver to Kan
sas City and return. says a dis
patch today from Denver. The
rate was the lowest announced
by II transcontinentaI road in the
past ten years, with one eNcep-
ton, and made the round trip
over 81 cheaper than the reg
ular fare one way. The move
may mean the opening of IA rate
war among Western roads.
The ostensible object of the rate
was to induce travel TO the meeting
of implement dealers held in Kansas
City. The rate was placed at S12.S0
for the round trip, or 1 cent a mile,
and was less than the regular one
way, which is S14.35. The limit was
placed at three days on these tickets,
which permitted the road to file the
tariff with the interstate commerce
commission with only one days no
tice before putting it into effect. The
result was that the Union Pacific had
the rate in effect and widely adver-
tised before the other roads had any
intimation of what was taking place.
Union Pacific officials do not offer
any explanation for the making of
the rate except to say that they were
instructed from Chicago to put it into
effect and that they did as they had
been instructed. Traffic men of other
roads believe that the Union Pacific
has received intimations that some
other road is preparing TO break
away from the agreement to main
tain a rate of cents a mile and that
it is showing its attitude by prac-
tical demonstration of what it can do.
If that is the correct theory it is be
lieved the Western railroads may be
on the verge of a big rate war
The limit on the Kansas City tick
cts was such as to allow only one
day in that city, but as the rate was
lower than the regular fare one way
the travelling public bought round
trip tickets without any intention of
using the return portions.

SWISS TRAMPs FEW.
A Poor Place For the Man Who
Doesn't Want to Work.

Doesn't Want to Work.
Switzerland is not a place for tramps,
because the man out Of employment
and who makes no effort to find work
is not tolerated for moment In that
country. The district authorities will
secure him job at hard labor and
little pay, and such an offer can be re-
fused only under the penalty Of going
to a penal workhouse. These institu-
lions are under military discipline. the
work severe. the wages a penny or
threepence per day. and release is
granted only upon the advice of those
in charge. No difficulty is experienced
in determining between beggars and
unemployed. because all legitimate la
borers have papers given them by the
district In which they live containing
information concerning the position
they have held. $50 ~ - ~
In every part of Switzerland are es-
tablished ''relief in kind" stations for
the exclusive use of respectable unem-
ployed. Only those are. admitted who
have had regular work during the
previous three months and have been
ont of employment for at least Eve
days. These men must be on the look
out for work and accept any situation
that is offered, because the chronic
loafer is soon detected by the police
and bis papers are marked SO that he
can never again seek refuge in "sta-
tion."-Exchange.

men during the early nineties James
Pilkerron. for many years the cham
pion sculler of America. was matched
to row double against another team.
he and his mate were the cha mpions.
and the general belief was that they
would win without effort. But the
night before the regatta public opinion
suddenly and mysteriously changed.
Mr.. PiIkerton knew that this was not
caused by any new development OF
strength In his opponent or any loss OF
skill on bis own part After making
some quiet inquiries he discovered that
there was talk of his rowing mate hav-
ing been bought up by the other side
and Of an, arrangement to throw the
race.
He didn't say anything about his sus-
picions, but when the two men were
seated in the shell and were well out
into the deep water he leaned over to
his mate and said:
Look here, you blooming cutthroat!
You've got to swim. drown or win this
race! You know mel" he won.

the stranger added more red pepper,
then the American another larger

THEIR LAZY CLUB.
EnaIish Workmen Make Late Corners
Paw For Hardness.

English Workmen Make Late Corners
Pay For Hardness. ~
In the engineering shops Of a GER
tain English firm the workmen Of a
year or two ago originated what they
called the Lazy club. 1t was entirely
their own idea. which for obvious rea-
sons has received neither recognition
nor financial support from the manage
ment, but has been the most excellent
means Of reducing the number Of late
Corners.
Whenever a workman Is more than
five minutes after time he finds the
gate locked, and he is not allowed to
enter until the half hour is up;
This half hour Is deducted from his
wages. but in addition he has also to
pay to the treasurer of the Lazy club
about cent. for coming late.
If be is late more than once or so
during week everybody Is aware of
the fact, and the second or third time
he makes his appearance after starting
time he is greeted with terrific CON-
bination Of noises produced on any
available material by his fellow work
men.
At certain periods the accumulated
funds Of the Lazy club are divided.
not among those, who have produced
them, it should be noted, but among
the entire staff equally. Thus the late
workman is made to pay the early
Corners for bis iaziness.
The last distribution was just prior
to "bean feast" and funds accumu-
lated during twelve months were dis
tributed. amounting to over $1.75 a
head.-System.
