Santa Fe Says Bonus in Shops
Will Not Be Abolished.
Officials Have Faith in Success
of New Plan.
MOWERS is AGAINST SYSTEM
Car Accountant in Topeka May
Drop Bonus.
other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Mechanical officials of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway in Topeka
deny the rumor to the effect that the
bonus system will be abolished in the
shops of the company in Topeka and
on other parts of the line. On the other
hand the officials insist that the bonus
will remain with the shop men.
The officers do not deny, however, that
the mechanical clerks have been parted
with the bonus. This announcement
appeared in the State Journal Saturday
evening, March 8, after the matter had
been confined to railroad circles for
nearly three weeks.
I'VE found that the bonus with the
mechanical clerks was not a success.
is the way one mechanical officer eX-
pressed himself today. Naturally we
would not care to continue a payment
plan that did not suit all officers. The
bonus has been taken from the me-
cnanical clerks all over the lines OF
fhe Santa Fe-''
In speaking of the State Journal ar
ticle to the effect that the bonus had
been abandoned on track work a me-
Ghanical head explained:
THE track bonus was simply an ex-
periment-just as it was among the
mechanical clerks. 1t was found to be
q failure for many reasons and was
abolished
1t is not denied in railroad circles
that the bonus will be removed from
the Office of J. w. Movers, car ac-
countant in Topeka. For some time the
bonus has been tried out in this office,
1t was one of the trials of the ROAD
TO see if the new payment plan would
be a success among Office clerks.
Apparently the plan is not favored by
the head of the office. 1t is known
that Car Accountant Movers is not IN
favor of the plan and is attempting TO
have it taken from his office force.
The bonus is handled in the office
of the statistician, James Peabody, at
Chicago but no report of the success
of the plan in that Office is chronicled
in Topeka
From statements made by mechani-
cal officers in Topeka today it is appar-
ent that the Santa Fe has faith in the
bonus among shop employees and be-
lieves that it has been a success in
this class of work More than 1000 men
in Topeka work under the plan aver
aging nearly 425.0OO hours of work
month.
The bonus is fought by union men
and is one of the ticklish propositions
handled by the Santa Fe. The Santa
Fe, however, is working open shop and
pays little attention to the desires of
the labor unions. So from evidences
in Topeka it is probable that the shop
bonus will not be touched.

STOCKHOLDERS FORM.
Kansas Men Get Together to Protect
Interests,


Wichita, kan, March 12.-Plans
have been launched for a meeting in
the near future of Kansas and Okla
homa stockholders in the Orient Rail-
way and the Union and International
Construction companies. 1t is esti-
mated that between two and three
hundred thousand dollars of Okla
homa and Kansas money, most of
which has gone out from Wichita, is
invested in Orient holdings, for which
a federal receiver has been appointed.
An organized effort will be made by
these stockholders to protect their
interests in. the courts.
The following letter will be given
out as notice to stockholders:
'fAt meeting of the Orient Rail-
way and the Union and International
Construction com panies of some of
the stockholders here, it was suggest
ed that I request all stockholders to
send me a list of their holdings with
a view of forming an organization to
protect our interests, if possible. We
are of the opinion that our interests
could be better protected if working
together, and if any of the holders
are of the same opinion, will be glad to
hear from them with a list of what they
hold. AS soon as We receive the
names of the holders of the stock in
Kansas and Oklahoma, we will call
meeting for further conference.

It's the low of the COW, the bIeat o1

clock at 4 o'clock in the morning for
Ed Kinsella of the Bears this summer
according to a letter to the Denver
management. Kinsella hasn't been Of
fered the salary he should have been
offered, judged by his own standard.
Probably McGill didn't offer him more
than 1925 or $3.50 per month. On the
farm a man can earn $40 per month
and his activities are not confined to a
few hours, in the afternoon. He can
work IL to Is hours a day and do
chores at night. His sphere of action
is not so limited. Instead of racing
about the diamond a bit he can walk
with measured tread behind a stately
team of mules from o'clock in the
morning until that hour in the even
ing. There will be nothing to get on his
nerves. The umpire is not to be feared
and the bleacher crowds bowls do not
reach him. Instead of spending Is min
utes on the bench after working in
the hot sun that length of time he can
take all day to working up a coat of
tan. Yes, Kinsella will likely do much
better on the farm-until he thinks
McGin is tired of waiting for him and
about to give his place to some one
else-then Eddie will rupture the spec
regulations to get his name on Bear
contract.
