HAD A TALK WITH employees
Santa Fe Officials Discuss Wages Of
Trainmen at Unique Meeting
In Topeka.

A meeting unique in railroad annals
was held at Topeka recently when the
Atchison, Topeka G. Santa Fe Railroad
closed its immense shops and general
offices and INVITED all of the Topeka
employees to a mass meeting to discuss
the proposed increase in the pay of
the trainmen.
The company rented the Topeka Au-
ditorium and engaged the Santa Fe
Apprentice Band from the shops. All
employees here, numbering more than
four thousand, were invited to the
meeting.
M. ]. Drury, superintendent of the
Topeka shops, was chairman Of the
meeting. C. w. Kounz, general man.
ager of the Eastern lines, and E. L.
Copeland, secretary and treasurer Of
the company, spoke for the company.
They explained that the 8-hour day
with the same pay as at present would
cost the company about million dol
lars year in wages, and that it would
compel the erection Of new terminals
to avoid the payment Of overtime
wages. They also explained the finan-
cial condition of the company, declar-
ing that it could not stand such
heavy drain without increased rates.
j. Mullin, foreman of the car shops,
and James Gibbons, assistant foreman
of the blacksmith shops, discussed the
proposed increase from the viewpoint
of the employees. 1t was pointed out
hat the increased pay, through short
er hours, to the trainmen, would pre-
vent increases in the pay of the clerks
and shopmen for considerable period

Americans Great Match Users,

Every man, woman and child in
this country uses an average Of ten
matches each day." remarked j. A.
Hunter of New York, representative of
large match company. ut is es-
timated that the match manufacturers
Of the United States turn out every
day more than 1,700,000,000 matches.
OF this output 1,OO0,O0O,O0O are con-
sumed in this country. Our people
have come to be very extravagant in
the use of matches. A decade ago a
pipe smoker might keep his pipe 60
ing by way Of the kitchen fire and a
pipe lighter; today he wouldn't think
of it. The greater use Of cigarettes
also has increased the consumption
Of matches. as have gas and gasoline
stoves, which are continually turned
off and relighted.
There has been an increased manu-
facture of patent lighters and new
style Of gas stove with patent lighter
attached, and these have helped to cut
the sales Of matches, but only to q
small extent"

The Stacker has passed beyond car.
ing what she thinks.
The white-feather incidentoccurred
about year ago.
There was young clerk in Mel
bourne who has good prospects in his
job, the responsibility of caring for
his invalid mother-and a girl. That
was load enough for his mind, and he
had hard time keeping the issue
separate while making out bills Of
lading az the Office.
Australians were marching away
by thousands. Every day saw some
of his friends, calling around to say
so long and and to tell him signii-
cantly, "see you in Gallipoli." Then
they would clump away in their
heavy infantry boots to take ship for
the war.
These things were worrying him
one night when he dropped around
to call. The girl met him at the door
and told him all bets were off till he
proved himself a man. She had three
brothers at the front. With that she
iabbed the white feather in his cap
and banged the door.
OF course, he enlisted right away.
A few months later back in the re-
serve trenches he received word that
his mother had died.
That night when the cunning had
died down to a minimum he opened
up to his companions in the dugout;
told the whole story in a regular
brotherly sob meeting. While his
romantic imagination dubbed high
est he dug into the upper left pocket
of his tunic, right over his heart, and
produced a white feather.
: Next day he fell, drilled clean
through the heart.
So the friend fished out.the feather,
now stained red, and sent. it to the
girl in Melbourne.
