DENISON & SHERMAN RY. GO.
The demand of the switchmen for
increased pay and shorter hours is
now one of the chief topics of dis-
cussion among railway employes. The
outspoken declaration of Grand Mas-
ter Hawley of the Switchmen's Union
ihat concessions will be obtained or
a strike Inaugurated has-caused more
than the usual Interest to attend the
demands, as It Is somewhat unusual
for a leader to give oppression to
such views before playing the final
card in diplomatic relations with of-
ficials. It Is, In fact, along the lines
of an ultimatum.
Further Interest Is given the situ-
ation by the fact that serious differ-
ences of opinion exist between the
officers of the Switchmen's Union
and the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen. Many switchmen belong to
the latter order, and their stand lh
case of a strike will be highly Im-
portant. In spite of Grand Master
Hawley's statement that he believes
the trainmen employed In yard serv-
ice will stand by the switchmen even
If their officers do not. it Is apparent
that the rank and file of the trainmen
are Inclined 'to take the opposite view.
In fact some of the switchmen who
are members of the B. R. T. are out-
spoken in regard to the situation and
declare that there Is not the remotest
possibility of members of the order In
yard service striking even if the
Switchmen's Union calls a strike.
With the trainmen In that attitude
there Is but little chance of a strike
In some of the yards being successful.
The trainmen are not opposed to ah
Increase In pay and shorter hours. On
the contrary they hope the switchmen
will be successful In their efforts, for
It means a general advance. But they
are opposed to the methods and have
a movement of their ofrn on foot
which Is being quietly perfected.
Practically all employes desire a
peaceful settlement of the negotia-
tions, and many believe that it will be
brought about by concessions on both
sides.

there are being enlarged so as to be
commensurate with the business re-
quirements of the two roads. An In-
dependent terminal company, owned
jointly by the Rock Island and Fris-
co. has been organized to finance and
carry out the improvements, as well
as to operate the property when com-
pleted The sum of 9712,471.86 has
already been expended by this com-
pany In the purchase of real estate
and the extension of tracks and
switching facilities. It is expected
that the enlarged terminals will be
completed and put in operation in
October.
The prosperous conditions prevail-
ing during the year throughout the
country, and especially In the South-
west, are reflected In the Increased
earnings of the company, both in
gross and per mile of road. The phy-
sical condition of the property has
been well maintained. Expenditures
amounting to 91.661,747.43 wore made
for Additions and Improvements dur-
ing the year. During the year the in-
dustrial department reported 361 new
manufacturing plants located on the
Frisco lines. The estimated cost of
these plants is over 99.000.000, and
they will employ an average of 10,000
men In their operation. The crops In
the Southwest for the current year
are considerably above the average
in every commodity.
CONSTRUCTION OF* RATE LAW.
Committee Reports to Transcontinent-
al Passenger Association.
Chlcngo, 111., Sept. 27.—J. C. Stubbs,
chairman of the Executive Officers'
Committee, appointed about two
months ago by all the Western rail-
roads, to study the doubtful points
in the new rate law and to secure the
advice of counsel regarding them, has
completed the preparation of the com-
mitter report on passenger matters,
and it was formally submitted at a
meeting of the Transcontinental Pas-
senger Association yesterday.
The interpretation of the most Im-
portant parts of the new rate law fol-
low:
Free transportation cannot be given
to land or Immigration agents, unless
they are employes in such sense that
the carriers legally could give them
transportation as a pass off gratuity.
There is no authority in law • for
making lower rates to land-seekers
and settlers than for other travelers.
This interpretation seems to abolish
the homeseekers' excursions.
The Law Committee advises that
transportation cannot be issued in
payment for advertising. It Is gener-
ally accepted, however, that carriers
may carry an open account with pub-
lishers and that publishers may <^rry
an open account with carriers for ad-
vertising. and that these accounta can
be balanced periodically. The bal-
ance. whatever it may be, must be
paid In hash. The transaction must
be devoid of previous agreement that
the service done by either party for
the other Is to be paid for In any otty
er way than by cash.
Special reduced rates may be made
for Federal and State troops and offl«
cers and employes of the United
States Geological Survey and Recla-
mation Servico In the future as in the
past.
The words of the. law excepting "in-
mates of hospitals and charitable and
eleomosynary Institutions, and per-
sons engaged In charitable and mis-
sionary work" from the free pass pro.
hibltlon are held not to apply to doc-
tors, nurses and other employes. Nuns,
sisters of charity, missionaries, evan-
gelists, national or state officers or
religious organizations, teachers and
pupils in Indian schools, officers of
the Salvation Army and Volunteers of
America, It Is held may be given free
transportation.
8pec!al rates for theatrical compa-
nies, baseball clubs, etc.. are held to
be discriminatory. "They should be
taken care of under the party rate
rules." the report says. Special rates
for army and naval officers and their
families, which always have been
made In the past, aro held unlawful
for the same reason.
Regarding the Interchange of trans-
portation by common carriers for the
use of offlcera(and employes and their
families, the Committee decides such
Interchange may be made with sleep-
ing car and express and steamship
companies, but not with telegraph
nnd telephone companies.
It is held that free transportation
may not be issued to members of rail-
road employers' unions, who are not
In the employ of a railroad company.

Newspapers and Poatoffloe Lend a
Helping Hand.
The newspaper that will print any
fairy story of finance at so many
cents a lino and print it side by side
with Its own financial news and opin-
ions, and the postofflce that will carry
the promoter's personal message to
anybody In the civilized world, are the
two great tools that make fraudulent
'company promoting so profitable. The
newspapers print the golden promises,
for a price, and the postofflce brings
back the fools' money. Without these
two potent aids the fabulists of fi-
nance would be powerless. They
would close their offices in the finan-
cial district's and seek some other
road to fortune.
What a simple matter it would be
to deprive the fool-seekers of the use
of the newspapers and the postofflce!
It occasionally happens that a "get-
rlctwflilck" scheme is so palpably
fraudulent that the government steps
in and takes away the pseudo-finan-
cier's right to use the postofflce. But
the government is always slow to
move. A crowd of financial parasites
