L. s. Cass Asks S47,s75.2s From
American Express Co.

A suit for s47.975.2s brought by l.
S Cass, receiver for the Kansas City
Northwestern r ailw ay company
against the American Railway Ex-
press company on contract, was re-
moved today TO the United States dis
trict court from the district court of
Leavenworth county.
The Kansas City Northwestern was
formerly a branch of the Missouri
Pacific which, in 1911 entered into a
contract with the Wells-Fargo Ex-
press company to haul express over its
lines, for which the railway company
was to receive s126,735 a month
When the Northwestern was given to
Cass, as receiver. the plaintiff alleges,
S3,14S.1O was to be deducted from the
Missouri Pacific's revenue and paid to
the Northw estern.
Cass alleges that there has become
due the Northwestern from the ex-
press company since February 81,
1917, the amount of 5,223.5T, Of
which $37.24S.29 has been paid. He

months. it is believed, before they are
returned to private owners.
The administration, it is said. does
not wish to see a series of bank
ruptcieS and receiverships on the
transportation systems, and the own
ers and managers declare that such
will be the case unless the revenues
are increased by higher rates. or the
expenses are reduced by lower wages
and cut prices in such important com
modities as steel and coal. 1t does not
seem likely, it is said, that wages will
be reduced at the present time, and
judging from the present rumors, a
fight will be made to increase the pay
checks of employees.
While EOthing has been given out
by the higher councils of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor. the rumor
has Sifted down that there is a possi-
bilfty of asztie-up the railroads if a
formal demand for a wage hike is
summariiy rejected. The railroad ad-
ministration, in trying to ward off the
danger of such thing, is consider
ing the proposition from all angles.

Santa Fe Employees Expecting
Increase in Pay.
Rumor Is 1t VIII Be Effective
on September 1.
FREIGHT RATES TO 60 UP?
That Is Also Expected by the
Railroad Men.
Administration Is Facing Seri-
Gus Problem Now.

Reports are current in Topeka rail-
road circles that the employees of all
roads under federal control will get
another hike in wages. effective Sep
tember 1. At the same time, it is
rumored that the railroad admins
tration and the interstate commerce
commission are working on a tentative
program OF freight tariffs. with the
intention of announcing a further raise
in yates within a month
Officials of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railway have heard moth
ing Of the proposed wage raise. This
matter. they say. is entirely out of
their hands, as all questions of this na-
ture are settled at Washington

It is known that several representa-
tives of the employees in Topeka have
been in Washington recently. proba-
bly, to confer with the administration
along with delegates from other west
ern carriers
The general raise, 1t is said. will
effect not only the union workers in
the shops. but the clerks in the gen
eral offices as well One cannot go
into any office or department without
sensing the undercurrent of this we'll
defined rumOr. II is said that the EN-
ployes have asked for a 20 per cent
hike.
The employees have asked the ad-
ministration for this. it is reported, be-
cause of the ever increasing high cost
of living. The raise few months ago.
they say, is not sufficient to meet the
grocery bills and the expenses for the
general upkeep of their families No
announcement Of this has yet been
made by the administration. nor the
labor unions. because, il is said. the
matter is still in an embryo state.
That, however. does not keep it from
being a matter of common talk in To-
peka and other railroad centers over
the country.
Freight Increase Expected.
The hiking of freight rates has been
predicted for a long time. The recent
annual reports OF the roads show that
only a few systems, among them the
Union Pacific and the Santa Fe, de-
rived a profit in the fiscal year just
ended The government is about to
relinquish control of the roads and It
is only a matter of from three to six
