Safety Rules Adopted by the
Union Pacific.
Plan Announced From Legal
Offices in Topeka.
FORM CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Division Committees to Aid in
Work Over Lines.
Other Items of Interest in the
Traffic World.

The safety habit has extended to the
Union Pacific railroad. From the legal
offices in Topeka is announced the gen
eral plan given to the employees by
w. B. Scott. vice president and gen
eral manager.
The circular reads:
The management at all times has
given most careful consideration tc
questions of safety in the operation OF
the property and is constantly in pur-
suit of ways and means to further re-
duce the number of casualties and per-
sonal injuries and the elimination OF
causes. And believing that beneficial
results in this direction can be accom-
plished by the appointment of commit
tees whose duties shall be to consider
suggestions of improvement in present
methods with a view to greater safety
in operation in all branches of the ser
vice, an organization to be known as
Bureau of Safety" is established,
effective this date.
A central committee of safety is ap-
pointed, consisting of assistant general
manager (operation), assistant general
manager (motiVe pOwer), assistant gen
eral manager (engineering) assistant
general manager transportation, chief
surgeon, superintendent dining cars and
hotels. general claim agent, genera!
storekeeper.
DIVISION committees OF SAFETY Will De
appointed, consisting superintendent
and members of his staff, a conductor
an engineer, a yardman, a track en-
ployee, A. B. & B. employee, a brake
man, a fireman, an agent, a signal en-
ployee, a shop employee. and such 9th
er employees as may from time to time
seem advisable.
A district committee of safety will
be appointed consisting of one employee
from each of the different branches OF
the Omaha shops, and one from the
Omaha general store.
The members of the central commit
tee and superintendent and their stats
will be considered permanent member s
of their respective committees. The
other members of division committees
and of the district committee will
serve for a period of three months; the
purpose in changing the personnel be-
ing to get the benefit of suggestions
of as many employees as possible.
Each committee will meet regularly
once every month and special meet
ings may be called at any time wher
considered expedient. These commit
tees will review casualties and personal
injuries that occurred during the pre-
ceding month, consider suggestions that
sre offered, and make recommendations
for prevention of similar or other ac-
cidents Or personal injuries in future.
Employees are requested to freely
communicate to these committees any
suggestions in the direction of safety,
and as all employees are mutually in
terested, their earnest cooperation is
desired.

BAD YEAR FOR THE KATY.
Fiscal Showing Fails to Cover Per
Cent Dividends.

New York, July 15.-The Missouri,
Kansas & Texas will hardly earn
100000 after fixed charges for the
fiscal year just ended In other words,
the road will fail to cover its divi-
dends of 4 per cent on the S13,000,00O
preferred stock by about 1920, 900.
This dividend has been paid for the
year. Profit and loss surplus as of
June 80, 1911, totaled almost $6,OOO,-
900. Gross earnings for the year
just ended of $2S,1S2,8 94 were a tri-
file over per cent less than the earn
this loss was caused by smaller pas
senger earnings. A rather peculiar sit
uation cut into ''Katy's" passenger
revenue to no small extent. A spinal
meningitis epidemic in Texas last year
practically tied up passenger service
in many towns in the state and
caused a revenue loss to the company
of over half million.
Freight earnings, while comparing
more favorably with last years totals,
suffered from smaller grain shipments
last fall. Farmers in the company'S
territory have been unable to buy any
amount of materials and supplies in
the past year and in consequence the
southbound shipments of
general merchandise have not been
up to normal. The lines north of
Texas did much bettr than the part
of the system within that state.
Smaller tonnage combined with oper-
ating difficulties to handicap the
showing of the system in the Lone
Star state.

MEXICAN OUTLET FOR FRISCO
Pearson Will Build Line From FL
Paso to Quanah, Texas.

Paso to Quanah, Texas.
Ell Paso. Tex, July 15.-Dr. F. S.
Pearson of New York and Montreal is
planning to build a railroad from Ell
Paso to Quanah, Tex, to connect with
the Frisco system, and give an east
ern outlet for his Northern Mexico
enterprises. DR.. Pearson and associ-
ates, who took over the timber inter
ests of w. G. Green in North Mexico
and have just completed a railroad
from Juarez to Chihuah ua through
the timber, are seeking an outlet for
these products, being dissatisfied, it is
said. with the arrangements offered
by railroads now entering here. DR..
B. H. Bryant left to make a recon-
noissance over the proposed line from
here to Quanah.
AS DR.. Pearson intends to extend his
Mexican railroad to the Mexican Pa
cific coast, a link connecting with the
Frisco at Quanah would give the
Frisco a short line to the Pacific for
Oriental connections. DR.. Pearson is
interested in many large projects in
this section, including lumber mills
and a box factory at Ell Paso and
gigantic irrigation enterprise near
Medina, Tex.

NO DISCRIMINATION
SAY MERCHANTS

There was apparently no difference
of opinion among the members who
attended the meeting of the Mer-
chants Association yesterday after,
noon, as to the course to be taken
with reference to the clause in the
Panama canal bill, now before Con.
gress, which If not eliminated will bar
from the canal all vessels owned in
whole or part by a transcontinental
railroad There was consequently no
debate on the matter, and when a
vote was taken on a resolution de-
handing the elimination of this re-
gtrictive feature, every member vot-
ed aye"
The meeting was called specifically
to act upon a communication from II.
Hackfeld & Company, agents for the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, call
ing attention to the fact that the
threatened legislation would prevent
their principals from using the canal,
and would, if enacted, cause the
steamship company to revoke its pres
ent plans for four large steamers to be
built at a cost of some $13,OO0,000 for
the Atlantic-Pacific trade via the ca
nal, with Honolulu as a port of call.
w. H. McInerny, speaking for the
committee on trade and finance,
which had the matter in hand, stated
that the committee had made care
full investigation, and could find no
local support for the proposed meas.
ure, which was generally held to be
un-American and unjustly discrlmina.
tory to American shipping. The Amer
tcan-Hawaiian Steamship Company,
he said, had announced an absolutely
neutral stand in the matter, notwith-
standing that it is one of the COM
peting companies, which presumably
would be injured by Pacific Mail COM
petition, The Matson Company, while
apparently putting up a fight with
other California interests for the re.
striction, had not instructed its local
agents, who were not inclined to ap.
prove such a measure.
Mr.. McInerny stated that the Pa
cific Coast commercial interests are
waging the fight most strongly, and
the Boston chamber of commerce has
also Joined them; but that the New
York chamber has passed resolution
opposed to the bill as it stands.
The resolution which was then sub.
mitted was carried by unanimous
vote, and was also ordered cabled in
condensed form to the Associations
representative in Washington. The
resolution follows:
Whereas, There is pending in Con.
gress, bill relating to the operation
of the Panama canal, which has been
amended so as to prohibit the use of
the canal by any steamship company
in which any railroad has an interest,
