It has been demonstrated in San

in corresponding months were less in
March, 1915, than in March, 1914, the
figures show that economies had made
the profit possible.
The average number of miles oper-

net revenue was $6O,799,109 against
$60,253,533 in March, 1914. The reve-

EVEN USE GUNWOMEN
Strikers and Employers Resort to
Them in Industrial Disturbances.

Washington, May 12.-Gunmen and
gunwomen have been used by both
strikers and employers in industrial
disturbances, Police Commissioner
Woods of New York today told the
industrial relations commission.
The commissioner related details of
an investigation of the confessions of
New York gang leader, "Dopey
Benny which eliminated Monday in
indictment by the New York county
grand jury.
This investigation said Commits
sioner Woods, has shown a large en-
ployment of gunner by strikers, and
a somewhat less employment of gun
men by employers. In the cases of
employers, the gunner are usually OBJ
tanned indirectly, through the en-
ployment of private detective agencies
which use gunner. We have found
that New York gunner have been
taken to Chicago, Cleveland, Cincin-
natl, Boston, Baltimore and Phila-
delphia.
Not only gunner, but in strikes in
volving women workers. gunwomen
have been used"
Commissioner Woods did not be-
lieve the present industrial system
was the cause of the growth of gun
men as an institution. The employ
ment of such men in strikes, he be-
Heved, was merely incidental to the
general life of crime led by the
gangster.

ARE NOT PLAYING POLITICS.
Judge w. X. Smith Tells of Railroads
and the Public.

When the Santa Fe railway officials
were at Burlington on their receni
business trip, the question was asked
by a student if the Kansas railroads
ever played politics. Judge w. r
Smith, general attorney, who was with
the party, answered the question.
1.-The Santa Fe railway, at one time,
was subject to just criticism for being
engaged in politics" Judge Smith
said. Ten years ago all the railways,
not only in Kansas, but in other states.
were taking an active part in political
affairs. Since 1905 the Santa Fe Of
ficials have refrained from any par
ticipation in politics of the state, or OF
the counties or cities through which
the road runs Our employees are OF
all shades of political faith. When a
man is employed in the service of the
company, no question is asked with
respect to his religion or politics, and
in the political campaigns, no intima-
ton is given to any employee as to
how he should vote. OF course. when
a candidate seeks an election on a
platform of hostility to railway inter-
ests. and who makes a speciality or
arousing the people against US, by
manufacturing grievances which he
asserts the public has sustained at the
hands of the railroads, it is only proper
that loyal employees of the company
should oppose such a man.
Although the railways retired from
politics in 1905, the politician and
demagogue continued to stir up a hos
tile feeling toward railway interests
The people are now beginning to see
that this agitation has been kept up
by the designing politicians, for per-
sonal ends, and not for the benefit of
the people whose votes he seeks. In
the last year or two the clamors of
political agitators against railways and
railway interests has been receiving
less and less applause. The railways,
and especially the Santa Fee, have
nothing to conceal from the people.
The earnings of our road are made
public and the expenses of conducting
the business are shown in our annual
We invite investigation. We
welcome all inquiry into the money
hat is expended in keeping the road
going concern. We desire to take
he people into our confidence, and
We believe that the time is near when
complete community of interests
will exist between the people and the
always; that the former will agree
o insist on exact justice, allowing the
carriers a fair and adequate compen-
;ation for the service they render and
hat peace and confidence will exist
between all patrons of the various
'ailroads of Kansas, and the railways
themselves.

Number Nine In Discard.

The Santa Fe railway has refused
TO sell old engine No. 8 to d moving
picture concern to be used in a wreck
scene. This is one of the oldest To-
comotives on the system and has been
in operation on the coast lines for
more than quarter of a century. The
new locomotives eclipsed No. 8 to such
an extent that Santa Fe officials de-
cided to send the mine spot" to the
scrap heap. A movie company heard
of this and wanted to buy it, but
either thefFJprfce was Tetssu fffcient,
