NOT A SIDE ISSUE
The Express Business Is I'M
pOrtant to Railroad Operation.
Santa Fe Receives Portion Net
Income, Fox Tells Employees.

F. C. Fox, general manager of the
eastern lines Of the Santa Fe, recently
issued an interesting circular to Off
GERS and employees of the road, urging
cooperation with the American Rail-
way Express company. Fox states, in
part, as follows:
"Since September L, 1920, the ex-
press business on this road has been
conducted by the American Express
company under a contract materially
different from any heretofore exist
ing. The present agreement, provid-
ing, as it does, for the payment to
the railway company of a certain pro-
portion of the net express income,
gives our line a greater interest than
ever before in the efficient and eco
nomical operation of the express BUSH
'aThe maximum benefit from this
arrangement can be obtained only
thru the heartiest cooperation be-
tween official and employees of the
ernress and railway companies on all
matters of mutual interest, thus
holding to our road, thru superior
service and facilities, the maximum
volume of express traffic, ana by
personal interest in its safe economic
and prompt handling and movement
keep the expense down to a minimum
with the thought clearly in the
mind of every one of our people tnat
the express business is not side IS
sue. but is an important part OF the
railway company's operations, and
that the express company's interests
are the railway company's interests
substantial progress will be made
toward increasing the express com
pany's net earnings, with consequent
benefit to our own company. there-
fore want to appeal to all of you to
personally interest yourselves in the
handling of the express, taking the
same interest in this traffic that you
would in the case of freight or pas
senger business to the end that oIl
Iina will receive the greatest possible
NET return from the express business.

The Santa Fe Railway company.
thru its safety department, has started
war on persons who are in the habit
of disregarding signals at street cross
inSs.
The campaign is the result OF com
plants which have come from cross
ing watchmen all over the system that
many persons disregard the signals
given them and in their mad rush fail
to stop when trains are approaching.
Many accidents have been caused in
this manner and scores of near acct
dents are narrowly averted.
The movement which the railroad
company has started to check this
reckless practice. however, is going to
be extremely lady like, at least at
first. When watchmen find their sig
nails disregarded in the future. they
will catch the license number on the
car and forward it to officials who
will secure the name of the owner
The next step in the game will be
for Isaiah Hale. safety superintendent.
to write the party a letter pointing
out the extreme likelihood, resulting
from such practice, Of one passing
quickly from this earthly existence to
one IN heaven or some other region
If this doesn't result in more regard
being paid to the crossing signals,
more hard boiled methods of persua-
sion no doubt will be put into effect.

broken up take the place of crushed
stone and is said to be even better
for building purposes because it is al
most as hard as iron.
Free to Some Towns.
Huge chat piles are one of the COM
mon sights in the mining district.
They are numerous around Galena.
Kan, and points Just over the line
in both Missouri and Oklahoma.
Many of them are larger than the
State house, probably not quite so high
but cover more territory. Towns near
the mining district often obtain chats
free from the mine owners, sending
man to load it on cars and paying the
freight.
The Santa Fe is another road that
has a line into Joplin and brings
much chats in this direction The
Rock Island also gets a share of this
business having a joint rate with the
Frisco which reaches practically every
point in the mining district.

WON'T BURN CORN
Just an Old Story ON the Kansas
Farmer, Says FARRELL.
A Return to Raising More Stock
VIII Demand Crop.

The Earth, the Santa Fe railroads
agricultural PAPER, has been making
an investigation of the reports that
farmers are going to burn corn next
winter. Farmers have been inter
viewed in twenty-six counties in Kan
sas, from six to a dozen farmers in
each county.
Not a single farmer interviewed
expressed any intention of burning
corn next winter. nor had any farmer
visited heard any of his neighbors say
they would burn corn" declared J. F.
farrell, editor of the Earth. Kansas
farmers feed a lot of corn to cattle and
hogs and sell what is left. Much more
feeding will be done next winter than
last Kansas farmers believe that the
bottom of the depression has been
reached in the livestock industry, and
that turn for the better has taken
place. Therefore, they are restocking
their farms.
Burning corn in Kansas, in the
past or in the future. is largely con-
versation." FARRELL added. Corn
burns quickly, like paper makes poor
fuel, and has never been popular as
general thing. Kansas farmers have
at times been forced to burn corn
when snow blocked the roads so that
they could not haul coal, and once,
when I was a boy, a few farmers who
had no livestock burned Is cent corn
rather than haul it a considerable dis
lance to market. But corn burning in
Kansas has not been practiced extern
s1vely in any community at any pc
Rod. altho rehashing the corn burn
ing story has for many years been a
favorite indoor sport of citizens who
are too slow to do anything but reni-
nisce. have rehashed the story nv
self two or three times, but really
there is nothing to it,

NJ. P. HAULS CHATS
Company Has Increase in BUSH
ness Thru Construction Work.
Has a Direct Line With the
Joplin Mining District.

Construction work of various kinds,
especially road work. is bringing an
unusually large amount of chats and
crushed rock hauling to the Missouri
Pacific, according to F. z. Nipps, local
agent for that company, who says that
road has handled more than 175f cars
of this kind of material from the
mines to Topeka since July 1.
Chats come from the lead and zinc
mines in the Joplin mining district
and the Missouri Pacific has a direct
line to Topeka from that point. The
Missouri Pacific's line also goes thru
Webb City and Carterville which have
chats in the mining district. In addi-
for screening the chats and also crush
grades of this material can be fur
nished. The crushed boulders are
excellent for concrete base work and
road building.
Freight the Big Item.
Practically the entire cost of chats
is brought about by the freight
charges. The price for chats T. o. b.
at the mines at present is fifteen
cents a ton but the price is higher
for that which has been crushed by
special machinery.
The natural chats is the rock COM
ing from the mills after the lead and
zinc have been taken out. Where
large pieces of rock taken from the
mines are found not to contain ore
they are tossed 10 one side. These
boulders are taken and after being

KATY TO BURN MORE OIL
Road VIII Spend $4,000 in Ex-
tending Its Fuel System.

Officials of the Missouri. Kansas &
Texas railroad here decided to resume
the company's plans for extending the
use of oil as locomotive fuel TO the
Oklahoma and Kansas lines of the
road. The action was taken after
satisfactory inducements had been
given by refiners in Kansas, Oklahoma
and Northern Texas.
Officials of the Missouri. Kansas &
Texas said the roads consumption of
domestic fuel oil would be more than
1000, 900 barrels annually when the
plans shall have been carried out. The
cost of converting the locomotives
from coal to oil burning. together
with providing facilities for harding
such fuel. will be about 100000
The lines in Texas Use Mexican oil. In
a statement z. C. Hopkins. assistant
to the chief operating officer of the
system, said:
while it will take several months
to complete the conversion program,
it is expected that we will be burning
oil on some engines north of Red
River within sixty days. unless some
thing unexpected develops. The work
of conversion Shout be completed by
the first of the year"

MORE IDLE CARS Ar WORK.
Demand for Grain Cars Caused {
Reduction in July.

Freight cars Temporarily out of
service due to the business depression
totaled 526,177 on July 81, a reduction
of 2S,991 compared with the figures
the previous week. The total on July
% was 555.16S. the reduction being at
tributed principally to the increased
demand for grain cars in the central
west.
OF the total, 321.7s1 were service
able freight cars in excess of current
freight requirements, and the remain
ing 2oA396 were freight cars in need
of repairs On July % serviceable
cars totaled, 3sAT72, and surplus box
cars in good repair at the end of the
month numbered 1e0,207 compared
with 119,442 the previous week, or a
reduction within that period OF 1885
cars. The report also showed 161, 1928
surplus cc@l cars in good order, re-
duction of 6,s45 cars in a little more
than a week A reduction of 1880
was reported in the number of surplus
stock cars. bringing the total on July
81 to 14.467.
A shortage in certain sections of
3,905 freight cars was reported by the
carriers, resulting largely from the de-
mand for grain cars. This was an in
crease of 1,137 cars over July %.

Railroads, Fail to Give Live
stock Men Recognition.
John A. Edwards Complains of
the Shrinkage Rules.
OFFERS 4 PLAN OF RELIEF
No Expense for Track Weigh.
ing If 700 Pounds Is Cut.
After Eighteen Years AssOcia
ton Wants Concessions.

Asserting that the railroads are not
giving Kansas livestock shippers a
square deal in allowance for shrink,
John A. Edwards, president of the
Kansas Livestock association, has
launched a campaign to obtain an
increase.
President Edwards has written the
officers of all railroads entering Kan
sas City. offering to relieve the car
riers of the heavy expense OF track
weighing incoming shipments, pro-
vided a reduction of 700 pounds is
made from the hoof weights at the
stock yards scales for all cattle origi-
mating within a twelve hours run from
market, and that a deduction of l 1000
pounds is made for all cattle requiring
more than twelve hours to reach
market.
The Kansas City. ST. Joseph and
Omaha livestock exchanges have
livestock shipments received at their
markets providing the railroads will
allow the shrink contended for by
President Edwards
The carriers now offer the shippers
500 pounds fill deduction for the near
in cattle and 500 pounds for the far
removed shipments.
THE railroads claim that this
amount of shrinkage was agreed upon
years ago and is just and reasonable
said Edwards. This amount of
shrinkage was never reasonable or
just, even at the time it was inaugu-
rated.
Eighteen years ago when this
shrinkage was fixed by the railroads
it applied to rs and 80 foot cars.
These cars are now obsolete. We now
use either Sc or 40 foot cars. Those
of the Santa Fe are almost entirely 90
feet.
Allowance Is Unfair.
"a 500 pound fill allowance which
was unfair even to a 2S foot car is
certainly inadequate when applied to a
40 foot car. Cattle twelve hours from
market shrink from their local loading
station never less than per cent and
often 6 per cent or an average of not
less than 1 per cent Four per cent
OF $4,000 pounds, the minimum of a
40 foot car, Is $50 pounds. We are
only asking a fill deduction of 700
pounds.
Cattle more than twelve hours
from market shrink from to 10 per
cent, depending on the distance. The
average is more than per cent. Eight
per cent of $4,000 pounds is 1920
pounds per car. while we are asking
only for deduction of 1000 pounds.
I'VE are paying all that our dive
stock shrink and have so paid for a
period of eighteen years. We now
feel when we are willing to compro-
mise and divide the shrink with the
railroads. that our deduction weights
should be granted"
