Is railroads involved in the switch
mems wage controversy, which is now
before the Illinois state board of arbi-
tration. has opened its side of the case.
A. NJ Schoyer, general superntend-
ent of the Pennsylvania railway who
railroads could not meet the demands
of the switchmen on account of the
panic of 1907, which caused them to
withdraw nearly $65,0OO,0OO from the
maintenance funds.
Another reason for our disinclina-
ton to pay the switchmen time and a
half for overtime Mr.. Schoyer testi-
fed, sis that this extra compensation
would be an incentive to them to kill
time during their regular hours. This
would not only increase our expenses,
but would also cause serious delays

tions that stood in the way of the
unanimous consent in that vicinity
for the bonds they succeeded in
raising some nice subscriptions from
the progressive farmers up that way
to help out the cash bonus.
E. c. Cooper was elected chairman
of the meeting. T. w. Hubbard, who
has been one of the leading spirits in
favor of the Garden City, Gulf &
Northern railroad proposition from the
very first, was the principal speaker of
the evening. He covered every phase
of the proposition from the progressive
point of view and succeeded in show
ing that this road was necessary to
the development of Seward county,
and the returns from Antelope Valley
precinct show that his efforts were not
in vain. Mayor J. E. Miller, E. C.
Cooper, A. Q. Edmonds and other
members of the Liberal party also ad-
dressed the meeting on the advantages
of the new road.

WILL HURT KANSAS. FOOTBALL
Railroads Planning to Increase Price
of Special Trains.

The western railroads are consider
ing a revised basis of special train
rates in the so-called transmissouri
territory of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION, which extends from the Mis-
souri, westward. The change contem-
plated, which has already met with
opposition from some of the roads,
would operate to raise the basis of
charge for special trains by SO per
cent.
The rate now in effect in the east
ern territory of the association ex-
tending from Chicago to the Missouri
is on the basis of IS adult first-class
one-way fares in each direction, with
one additional fare for each person
carried in excess of 10. The present
rate in effect in the territory beyond
the Missouri river is on the basis of
only so adult first-class fares, for so or
less, and one additional fare for each
passenger in excess of so, provided the
charge is never less than $3.50 per
mile for the distance travelled and no
train to be run any distance for less
than $50. The proposition being con-
sidered is to raise this to parity with
the local charge. The objecting roads
have raised the contention that rates
should not be increased where the
fare per mile has not been decreased
by state legislation.

Impossible to Get Anything From
Tariff Sheets

1t may be recalled that one of the

ncomprehensible. and the amendment
was to make all plain as day. One
Of the first formal acts of the COM
mission under the changed law was
to set aside the details of the amend
ment as impracticable. The shippers
were more offended by the law de-
signed for their benefit than the rail-

directed. For since the rates were to
be laws. under the new dispensation
the shippers were affected by knowl-
edge of them, although nobody could
find out what they were. How the
matter stands appears from the tes-
timony of the president of the national
traffic league before the house COM
mittee on Interstate commerce the
other day:

of the railroad tariff sheets what it
will cost to ship anything from any
