RYAN REPLIES TO
Shipments DEMANDS
Considers Demands Unrea-
sonable and Thinks Limit
Has Been Reached

Characterizing the demands of the shop
mems unions as unreasonable, j. j. Ryan,
superintendent of motive power on the
G. III. & S A, has issued a formal reply
to these demands in an open letter to
all shop employees of the Sunset lines.
The superintendent of motive power,
while expressing willingness to meet the
committees of the craftsmen's unions in
discussions of existing scales and rules,
makes it plain that no change in these
rules or scales will be considered by the
railroad.
The circular letter reads:
ITO all shop employees, Sunset Lines:
Unreasonable demands having been made
on these lines by persons claiming to
represent a federation of railway en-
ployes, and it appearing that our shop
men generally are not aware of the scope
and tenor of said demands, the text of
same is printed below in order that all
concerned may have full knowledge of the
situation.
"Sinee January 1, 1906, our shop
crafts have been given a number of in
creases in pay, aggregating in some
cases as much as 33 percent and aver
aging 1858 percent, and our present
rates of pay average as high as other
lines in this section, and in most cases
higher. Notwithstanding this. it is de-
manded that we make a very large flat
increase in the hourly rates, equivalent
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-08-17

to from Is percent to 20 percent in
crease over present schedules. The ex-
pense to these lines to make this flat
increase would be fully 100000 per an
mum, and in addition we are asked to
adopt other provisions which would en-
tail further large expenditures.
at has always been our desire and
practice to be as liberal as possible in
our dealings with our employees, but /
must now say to them frankly and fairly,
that under present conditions as TO pas
senger and freight rates, the limit has
been reached in this direction and we
cannot grant the demands printed here
with
Eve have notified the various shop
crafts with whom we have agreements
that we would meet each of their com
mittees, the same as heretofore, to disc
cuss existing rules and rates and any
changes desired. It is felt that this ex-
PLANTATION is due you in order that YOU
may know the facts of the case, regard
less of any contrary reports that NAV be
circulated. (Signed)

superintendent of Motive Power"

Mayor Kelly Appoints Spe-
cial Committee to Work
With Park Commission in
Matter.

The w. F. Robinson memorial scenic
highway along the rim of the north mesa
and around Mount Franklin to Fort
Bliss now seems a certainty. At the
council meeting Thursday mayor c. Z.
Kelly appointed a special committee,
composed of alderman w. S. Clayton,
alderman Percy McGhee, city attorney
w. NJ. Coldwell and city engineer Her
bert Num-, to work with the city park
commission in obtaining an ultimate
realization of the plan for converting
the rim of the mesa into a beautiful
scenic driveway.
Explains Commissions Plans.
II. ID. Slater, chairman of the park
commission, appeared before the council
and explained the plans of the commits
sion for this permanent Improvement
which. it was suggested, could be made
a splendid memorial for the former may
or who lost his life in the Calisher fire.
Tablets could be placed at both APP
proaches to the mesa highway to give
briefly the history of the mayors tragic
death
By means of maps and charts it was
shown that the greater part OF the pro-
posed driveway could be run on dedi-
Gated streets of the city and that many
of the large property owners on the
mesa and the nearby additions were
willing to donate all the ground neces-
sary for the scenic road from West
Boulevard to Fort Bliss.
Prompt Action Urged.
1t was the suggestion of the park COM
mission chairman that steps be taken
at once to get possession of the land
necessary for the road before any houses
were built ON the north mesa and before
unsightly billboards and houses were
built there. By guaranteeing to spend
$4,000 or $4,000 each year, the city could
obtain possession of the ground neces
sary for the driveway, and later the
mountain part of the drive could be i'm
proved with railroad grade driveway
around the base of the mountain.
At the conclusion of the talk, mayor
Kelly said he had been over the pro-
posed driveway and that he thought it
would be a fine thing for the city TO
have. He then appointed the special
committee TO work with the park com
mission.

40 Girls
''WANTED-Office girl at $500
week; must have common sense"

Forty girls answered the above ad in
a local paper, SO of them disqualified,
apparently lacking the essential require
ment. The 40th girl declined the position
because she concluded that a girl with
common sense would not accept $500 a
week when she could earn $4,000 q week
by learning Gregg Shorthand.
If you have an ambition above $500
a week, come and talk the matter over
with US, or ask for a free lesson by mail.
Gregg Shorthand is easy to learn, easy
to write, and easy to read. If you have
the ambition, we will do the rest.
