Plans to Combat Shortage Made
at Newton Meeting.

Newton, Kan, Nov. 4.-MillerS and
representatives of practically all rail-
roads operating in Kansas inaugural
ed q campaign for prompt handling
of freight cars and the loading OF
cars to capacity to relieve the situa-
ton which has blockaded mills and
elevators all over the wheat growing
night, attended by nearly one hun
dred millers and railroad representa-
tiveS.
All the millerS present were MEM
berS of the Kansas Millers' club, and
thru that organizations proposed to
get in touch with the American Rail-
way association at Washington, and
Jointly work out a system for return
ing cars more promptly. Car short
age, not poor condition of equipment,
is responsible for the present serious
representatives of the railroads de-
clare.
Santa Fe Shows Figures.
Responsibility for the shortage was
placed with eastern roads which are
said to be keeping western owned cars
for use on foreign lines, Superinten-
dent H. B. Rautz of the Santa Fe rail-
road central division, gave figures
showing that hundreds of that roads
cars were in use on eastern lines. A
miller traced a car he had ordered re-
layed from Illinois to Indiana and
found on an eastern lnfe.
Proposals to enlist the service of the
government and eastern manufacture
ing agencies came after belief had
been expressed that eastern manufac-
turers did not realize the seriousness
of lack of car distribution in the agri-
cultural district

ers and others along the roads who
have been taxed flDr their construction
and for their upkRep.
The automobile lines which radiate
from Topeka are making inroads in
to the interurban passenger traffic of
the railroads, and the railroad men
regard their competition as unfair
since there is no burden upon them
OF maintenance of way upkeep-
The regular and frequent trips of
the buses are giving the improved
and surfaced highways more weac
and tear than any other one item of
traffic over them, and that is wher.a
the Taxpayers are moved to rise and
declare themselves
Recently the state of Colorado. thru
its state public utilities commission.
took over the regulation of automo-
bile bus lines in that state. and is
requiring of them a special license. as
well as that they shall be operated
upon a schedule which is to be ad-
hered to, and to operate only when
the commission declares them a public
necessity. In other words, the same
regulation which is applied to the
railroads OF Colorado is being applied
to the bus lines. and some similar
measure will probably be asked of the
Kansas law makers at their next ses-
sion.

BUILD EN- HOMES
That is Solution for Mexican
LabOrers, Santa Fe Finds.
So Road Builds Seven Ten
Family Apartment Houses.

The Santa Fe is completing the last
of seven apartment houses which will
house Mexican Iaborefs at as many
points along its lines.
The houses have been built at
points where many Mexican laborers
are employed. and where they would
find difficulty in getting houses in
which to live.
The road officials have found that
it has good effect on the Mexicans
to give them houses instead of)bunk
cars, and that the localities in which
they are employed prefer that man
per of hofsing them.
The bunk houses or apartment
houses, are of hollow tile construc-
ton, put up as neatly and attractive
ly as possible. Each of them will
house ten families. giving each family
houses are modern in every way pos
sibIe. They are provided with cleo
trio lights, sanitary toilets, shower
baths, and other conveniences. but
they are heated by stoves in the indi-
vidual apartEl serve for
cooking as well as heating.
Apartment houses have been erected
of the same type at GaleSburg, ILL.,;
shopton. Ia; Lexington Junction. Mo-;
Newkirk. Okla, and Ottawa, Strong
City and Cherryvale. Kansas.
Each house costs in the neighbour
hood of $500. All of them will be
ready Tor occupancy IN a Few days.
The one at Strong City, which is now
being painted, is the last one which
will be finished.
The MeXicans are charged a nominal
rental of 81 or less a month for the
apartments. In a short time, it has
been found that>they will be planting
flowers about the doorways, and
otherwise ornamenting the grounds
about the houses.
The dignity and comfort of an
apartment in one of the company
houses is very shortly reflected in the
personal habits of the Mexicans them
selveS-men, women and children
for the Mexican laborer likes to have
his family with him on the job.
Leave a Mexican in a bunk car
and he acts like a bunk car Mexican
Put him in one of the apartments.
and he keeps the apartment and him
self as cleaRaS a PIN" J. E. Foley. of
the engineering department of the
Santa Fe, said in discussing the bunk
houses.
