PREPARE TO HANDLE FREIGHT
Santa Fe Official Gives Advice on Car
Shortage Problems.

Wellington, Kan, Nov. N.-Speaking of
inability of railroads to handle freight
promptly at times because of lack of suf-
ficient equipment, Superintendent ]. &.
SShafer of the Panhandle division of the
Santa Fe said today that it is hard
equipment so that they may be able to
move promptly all freight offered in busy
tunes without having a large oversupI ly
of cars in dull times He made these sug-
gestions:
"a consignee is allowed As hours free
freight. After that time denurrage is as
sessed, not rental to offset the value
of a car, as it is a fact that freight cars
represent earning value Of from So to s.
per car per day, but in order to impress
upon a consignee the necessity of prompt
unloading. great many consignees be-
lieve that when they unload within As
hours thereby avoiding demurrage, they
have properly discharged their obligatio,.
This would be true if As hours were
actually necessary to perform the unload
ing. If, however, a conSignee could un-
load in "a hours, but strings the unload
ing along, consuming As hours just be-
cause he has that much time, he is not
doing his part to assist the railroads or
shippers who would be wonderfully bene-
fitted by having the car "a hours sooner.
''You receive notice of shipment, When
it comes, if it is going into your ware
house. why not be prepared before the
car arrives, and not wait until the car is
set before cleaning up the warehouse or
shifting other material, or doing work
which could have been done before2 If it is
going into a job, have the contractor
ready to accept it, place prepared in
which to store it and arrangements made
for the unloading and teaming. before you
are notified that the car is at hand.

Roads Preparing to Fight High
Mail Pay Charges.
Declare That Government Is
Not Too Generous.
MAKE APPEAL TO PUGLI(
Nearly 215,OOO Miles of Lines
Are Represented.
Other Items of Interest in the
Traffic World.

Chicago, Nov. ga vigorous cam
paign is to be opened by the railroads
to combat claims made recently by
the postoffice department to the effect
that the railroads are being overpaid
for handling mail. In a statement
made public the railroads say they in
tend laying their case before the pub
lie in a series of articles containing
concise exposition of the facts to
prove their contention that the pay
mentS to the railroads for the services
and facilities furnished by them to
the postofice department are, and for
a long time have been, unjustly low.
The railroads SIDE of the postal pay
question is in the hands of the COM
mittee on railway mail pay, represent
ing 214,275 miles of railroad in the
United States, operated by 26S com
panies. This committee is composed
by J. Kruttschnitt, chairman, director
of maintenance and operation of the
Union & Southern Pacific systems;
Ralph Peters, vice chairman, president
of the Long Island railroad; Charles
A. Wickersham, president and general
manager Western railway of Alabama;
w w Baldwin, vice president Bur
lington railroad; w. w. Atterbury,
vice president Pennsylvania railroad:
George L. Nicholson, vice president
Santa Fe railway; E. ]. Pearson, first
vice president Missouri Pacific; E. G.
auckland. vice president New York.
New Haven & Hartford; c. F. DAILY,
vice president New York Central; w.
A. Worthington, assistant director of
maintenance and operation Union and
Southern Pacific systems; w. F. Allen
secretary, and H. T. Newcomb, sta
tistician.
Before proceeding to demonstrate
their claims the railroads say sit
should be noted that railway mail pay
is about to be forced still further be-
low the level of just compensation,
unless payments are promptly read
iusted on account of the additional
volume of mail that will result from
the Inauguration, on January 1, 1913,
of the parcels post.
Congress has provided for a vast
and incalculable extension of mail traf-
fic by creating a parcels post to be
inaugurated on January l, 1913, which,
by opening the mails to many articles
not previously accepted at the post
offices and by materially reducing the
rates on mailed merchandise, is ex-
pected enormously to increase the vol
ume of the shipments which it COW
ers.
THE government seems to have as
sumed that under existing contracts
which were made before the meaning
of the word mail was thus extended,
the railways can be compelled, until
these contracts expire, to carry this
great additional volume of mail traffic
without any compensation whatever"

SECOND ONLY TO TOPEKA"
President Rip1ey's Version of New
Santa Ee AIbuquerQue Shops.

Albuquerque, N NJ. Nov. 81
President E. P. Ripley of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, while
in the city today on his way to his
winter home at Pasadena, Cal, an
nounced that ''the Santa Fe system
would make Albuquerque second only
to Topeka as shop and division
point"
President Ripley's statement con-
firms rumors that have been in circu-
lation for some time that the Santa
Fe directors had decided to spend a
million and a half dollars here on
shop and terminal improvements to
handle the increased business which
the opening of the Panama canal is
expected to give the railroad system.
The improvements are to include
car shops, a mammoth roundhouse,
boiler, machine and blacksmith shops
and extensive improvements to ter
minals. The new buildings will ex
tend over an acreage of eight city
blocks. The land has already been
bought at an outlay of 100000 of
which 100000 was subscribed by citi-
zens. Work is to begin early in the
sprin- and rushed to completion. APP
preparation for the improvements has
been made by the directorate of the
road
When completed A1buquerque's
shop force will aggregate 1900 men
with an annual payroll of approx
mately 100000 a year.
The Santa Fe will by 1915 have
completed and in operation a double
track system between this city and
Los Angeles. A large part of this
double track is now in use while con-
struction of what remains now is I'M

reason. Pollom has been going good at

NORMALS PLAY FRIENDS
Only Question in Emporia Is Size of
Score.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 27.-The Kansas
State normal football team will close
the season here with a Turkey day
game with Friends university of Wich-
ita. Southwestern ran up a score of
151 to 0 on Friends last week, and as
the Normal beat the Methodists, the
only question of the Thanksgiving
game is the size of the score. The
men are in good condition and will
give the spectators their moneys
worth at least in track meet man
ner.
The Teachers have lost but three
games in the state this season. Their
list of victories includes Southwestern,
Washburn, Paramount and Cooper,
with the Friends yet to play. The
team was defeated by the Aggies. c.
of Z. and Warrensburg. The place
awarded to the Normal in the Kansas
conference will probably be fourth in
case Washburn takes the game from
Manhattan.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-11-27

That Washburn must offer a stern
defense if they wish to win is eVidenc-
ed by the way in which the Aggies
have plunged the line in recent games.
Their advance has been almost ire
sistible Their endurance has kept
them in the game playing almost as
hard at the finish as at the start, and
there they have had the best of op-
ponents. In the Enporia and Colorado
games the Aggies made strong finishes.
In the Colorado game the teams were
playing evenly until the last quarter,
when the Aggie endurance began to
tell. Then when the Aggies had ruth
lessly plunged across for their second
touchdown, the westerners gave way
completely, and their defense for the
rest of the game was utterly unlike
that which they offered in the earlier
stages. The Aggies have trained faith
fully and their wind stays with through
a long contest. The supporters of the
Aggies are expecting this ability to
stand a long contest to bring them to
the finish of the game with score in
the last quarter.
Here's the Beef SQUAD.
The Aggies as they will line up
against the Blue eleven: Schafer,- right
end, 155 pounds; Loomis, right tackle,
17S pounds; WehrIe, right guard, 1870
pounds; Felps, center and captain, 176
