More Talk of Pennsylvania
Santa Fe Combine.
Coast-to- Coast Line Is the Re-

OFFICIALS WERE HERE
But They Refused to Discuss
the Matter.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Denver, Dec. 6-OHicials and d.
rectors of the Atchison. Topeka &
Santa F'e and the Pennsylvania rail-
road systems have been making tour
Of the Santa Be lines. with result that
a report has been revived to the effect
that the two big systems are prepar-
ing to establish closer relations and
form new system extending from
coast to coast.
The party consists OF T. De Will Guy
Ter OF Philadelphia, a director in both
roads; Edward E. Stubesbury and
Messrs. Keath and Deming of Philadel-
phia, j. w. Kendrick OF Chicago, vice
president of the Santa Fe. in charge of
ager; w. r. Felt, chief engineer, and
c. w. Kouns, general manager of the
western lines of the Santa Fe system.
Last spring Mr.. Cuyler went over
the southern lines of our road and over
the Belen cutoff in New Mexico" said
few weeks ago I suggested that he see
the other portions of the system and
he accepted. We are now making that
trip"
Mr.. Kendriclx was asked if it was not
rumored at the time Mr.. Cuyler made
the inspection In the spring that the
Santa Fe and Pennsylvania were pre-
pairing to establish closer relations
with each other.
Yes" was the reply. "That rumor
has come up several times within the
past three years. There is not the
slightest degree Of confirmation to the
report, however. in the present trip.
We think the Pennsylvania is better off
to confine it's efforts to the territory
between Chicago and New York, while
the Santa Fe will do we'll to confine
itself to the territory west of Chicago
The relations of the two systems are
friendly, however, as shown by the
presence of a Pennsylvania director on
our road"
What are your plans for improve
nents in the coming year?'' he was
asked.
.'The only plans we have are to i'm
prove the common sense OF the Ameri-
can people in reference to railroad
matters was the reply. 1--WE want to
get the railroads out Of petty politics,
and If we succeed 1t will be an i'm
provement which will make us happy.
A butcher doesn't expect his GUS
toners to buy meat when he hasn't
sufficient income to pay his bill, and it
is the same way with railroads. We
are all trying to live within our IN
comes Until we increase Our reve-
nues we can't increase our ex-
pen6itures."
