SANTA FE ANGRY
Charges Of Crookedness Arouses
Officials Of Road.
Based on Employment Mexi-
cans on Sections.

The Santa Fe IL angry over abus-
i've anonymous publications.
Smarting from the sting Of q wound
inflicted by unknown citizens of the
state in which It has claimed its home.
the Santa Te is up in arms today for
through the channels Of the political
public sentiment against railways and
corporations as a whole.
Some one-the Santa Fe knows not
the origin-is circulating through
Kansas papers that will print the
stuff, plate matter Of two columns
width under the title, "Is the Santa Fe
Railroad Morally Crooked ?" The ar
ticle is spread over q big newspaper
area and is steaming with capitalized
phrases and accusations Of corrupt
ness and abuse.
The article is based on the fact that
the Santa Fe employs Mexicans In its
track labor over the state-a matter
that was settled before the state util-
tiles commission several months ago.
Unable to find dependable American
labor the Santa Fe hires Mexicans to
do track work. The unsigned articles
charge the road with an effort to dis
criminate In favor Of the foreigners.
The article also accuses the Santa
Fe Of one-time protection under
the wings Of dirty politicians" It
calls the employment a "pernicioue
system OF evasion 1t hints at vio-
to settle the trouble. It calls the ac-
ton of the Santa Fe a ''tax-dodeing
scheme OF Big Business" It believes
the Santa Fe has slipped one over on
the trusting public" It throws the
charge Of BLACK crime"
The Santa F'e officials in Topeka are
wrathy over the circulation of the
TYyy~ ~
that for years 1t has been necessary to
employ Mexicans in order to keep up
the track. I'VE could depend upon
Americans only q short period in the
year. said J. r.. Koontz, general freight
agent today. I'VE must preserve our
property and keep the roadbed in safe
condition for traffic.
I'm the east" continued Mr.. Koontx,
Greek and italian labor is used. In
the central part OF the country the
Greeks predominant In the west 1t is
ployed by all the railroads. The Amer
lean sections hand is a thing Of the
past. We are unable to md Americans
who will stay with us any length Of
time"
H. B. Lautx. assistant to the general
manager, also stated that 1t IL impos-
sible to fnd dependable American la
Dor.
I'VE can't allow our tracks to go un-
touched for a greater part Of the year. =
he said. 1T IL to the interest Of pub
lie safety as well as property main
tenance that we employ these Mexi-
cans"
The Santa Fe Is puzzled over the or
igin Of the articles. The officers declare
that the language and charges are
malicious. The reading matter, print
ed, among other papers. In the How

duced two resolutions, after a confer
ence with Representative Murdock OF
Kansas, the Progressive leader. The
first provided that the house should
forthwith proceed to determine
whether the report did not show Rep
resentative McDermott to have been
guilty of disgraceful and dishonorable
conduct in his official capacity, rem
dering him unworthy OF remaining az
a member of the house and liable to
expulsion.
The other requested the house to
determine whether officers and agents

facturers, including Messrs. Bird,

$50 ton. A grade of COWS that used
to cost $35 to $45 head now cost $50
to $50 a head Hired help that was
formerly plentiful at SIS and $40 a
month is now scarce at $25 to $35 a
month and board. Virtually the same
feed and the same class of help are
used by dairynen and beef raisers.
Yes while the price of milk has re-
manned stationary at eight cents a
quart, the price of beef has almost
doubled. Besides this, dairy expen-
ses have been increased by modern
milk ordinances. The dairyman must
build better barns. His. cows are
tested for disease. His milk is i'm
proved in quality and purity. To keep
It fresh, he must use expensive pre-
cesses of refrigeration and pasteuri-
zation. To preserve its purity he puts
it in bottles and all the world kniws
that package goods cost more, and
also are worth more, if cleanliness is
desirable.
There was time when milk produe-
ton was profitable at eight cents a
quart. But, as the price Of raw ma
terial gradually increased without a
corresponding increase in the refined
product, the dairy business came to be
stunned instead of sought. It is not
uncommon for a dairyman to work II
to 10 hours day. seven days in the
week and 50 weeks in the year. His
wife usually shares his drudgery.

cents to 10 cents a quart. Some per-
sons are asking: "Why should the
price of milk advance?" It would be
more reasonable to ask, "Why has
the price of milk remained the same,
while the prices of all other food pro-
ducts have advanced?" They ought
to know that there is the same reason
for advancing the price of milk as
there is for advancing the price of
food in general. The public has learn
ed that beef, for instance is much
higher than it used to be, because feed
and help are higher. Hay used, to sell
for $40 to $12 ton; it now brings
from SIS to $25 a ton. Corn used to
sell for 35 cents to so cents a bushel:
now it brings from 70 cents to 80 cents

wheeling would have had a scarcity
and high prices in milk years ago. But
even the middle men are now in an
extremity. They have had to pay the
farmer constantly increasing prices.
They have reached a stage where ex-
penses have wiped out the margin be-
tween cost and selling price. So
dairmen and creameries, who have
not gone out of business, are raising
the price of milk from 8 cents to 10
cents q quart so they can stay in bust
ness.
In most large cities milk retails at
U cents or more per quart. 10 cents
: quart has been the price in Pitts
ourgh for the last three years. But,
even at 10 cents a quart, milk is still
the cheapest and best of all animal
foods. According to figures given in
Principles of Agriculture by Profs
Gof and Mayne, a quart of milk at
10 cents has approximately double the
food value of 10 cents worth of meat
or eggs at present prices. Farmers
