TO FEED PASSENGERS $4,000
Santa FEES Enormous Expense of Re
cent Snow Storms.

T.
cent Snow Storms.
In an interview given out in west
ern Kansas recently, W. ]. Curtis,
travelling passenger agent of the San
ia Fe at Topeka, stated that it cost
the santa Fe not less than $4,000
to feed the snow bound passengers
west of Hutchinson in the last few
snow storms. Travelling Passenger
Agent Curtis estimated that at least
so, 900 meals were served to passen-
gers free of charge.
1T is pretty hard to estimate ac-
curately the exact number of meals
our company has served free of cost
to the marooned passengers on our
trains" said Mr.. Curtis. "but [
think 900 would be conservative
estimate. These meals cost so cents
each and up to a dollar in some in
stances. From these figures. it is
very easy to compute the probable
cost.
1.-The laws of Kansas do not require
railway companies to feed passengers
who are delayed as a result of the
action of the elements; however, the
Santa Fe, following the policies map
ped out by its president, Mr.. Ripley
believed that courtesy was due them
The feeding of passengers, how
ever, is but one item of expense sus-
tanned by the company, as a result
of the billiards. The loss in traffic
receipts, the employment of thou
sands of extra men and other ex-
penses, represent the real heavy
losses that have been checked up.

Thousands of Tons at Emporia-Ready
for Coal Strike

thousands of Tons at ImpOria-Rea(ly
for Coal Strike.
A short time ago an article in the
State Journal told of the thousands
of tons of coal the Rock Island and
Santa Fe were storing in preparation
for the coal strike. Since this article
appeared reports have come from di-
vision points and terminals all along
the lines of these roads. These re-
ports tell of the immense amount of
coal being stored by the railroads.
Here is a report on the Santa Fe
from Emporia:
Twenty thousand tons of coal will
be stored at Emporia by the Santa
Fe in tbs next two weeks, according
to information given out recently,
and 5000 tons of that amount has
been unloaded. The storage plan is
the result of an investigation of the
coal situation by the Santa Fe. and
the coal is to be used for emergency
cases. At every important division
point On the system, similar storing
is being done, and millions of tons of
coal will be stored EmpOria will
get large amount of the storage as
the town is situated on the boundary
line between the eastern and middle
division. and is easy of access from
roundhouse has been set aside as the
been laid on which to haul the cars.
Twenty thousand tons of coal doesn't
sound so large when figured in tons,
but in pounds it reaches the forty
million mark. The average price of
coal per ton, figuring conservatively,
is 1915, and at this rate the coal
would cost $4,000.
