ST A Parley in Deadlock; Fight Is On Neither Side Budges As Train - Savers Gird for Hearings BASSETT At a joint meeting of thi> Chicago & North Western railroad officials and directors of the Save-the-Trains association held hero Tuesday, (I M Bruere, assistant to the executive vice president of the railroad, made it clear that the company does not intend to modify its stand or re frain from pressing its applica tion for discontinuance of pas senger-mail - express trains 13 ami 14 on the Om a ha -Chadron mainline. “This irrevocable position taken by the railroad leaves us no alternative but to vigorous ly oppose the C&NW applica tion and tills we shall do.” de clared Cal Stewart, O'Neill publisher and president of the Save-the-Trains association. In the three-hour session, Mr. Bruere complimented the S-T-A for its initiative and the two year cooperative effort in an at tempt to reduce operating deficits on trains 13 and 14 “Wo are ex tremely grateful for the splendid efforts of the association,” Bru ere insisted, “but, unfortunately, rising operating costs and reduc tions in some revenues have more than offset the gains that have been made.” Bruere said C&NW was forced to face the “economic reality” presented by the “out of pocket” annual loss of $200, 000. Filing with the Nebraska railway commission was made August 15. “We feel the S-T-A has done its part and that the railroad had lived up to its commitments dur ing the experimental period,” Rruere told the north Nebraskans at a closed meeting. He contend ed the potential revenue "cannot come close” to equalizing the “out of pocket” expenses. Stewart, summarizing the meet ing, declared: “We widely disagree with the railroad company on certain is sues with reference to the opera tion of these last two remaining passenger trains serving much of north Nebraska. These issues will be taken to the state regulatory body and, if necessary, to the courts, A vigorous fight will be made. C&NW has certain respon sibilities and the 450-mile Oma ha-Chadron area has certain re quirements. Areas of disagree ment arc in the C&NW’s methods of showing ‘out of pocket’ losses," Stewart said. "We invited the C&NW offi cials to Bassett and the confer ence was consurnated with C&NW holding that the experimental period was a failure; whereas we contend the experiment was a success,” the S-T-A president concluded. The association has engaged Einar Viren of Omaha as counsel and auditors are being hired to question the railroad’s accounting in the application. In passenger curtailment cases that have been taken to the Nebraska supreme court, the railroads have been upheld because the public had virtual ly abandoned using those trains. Tiie train-savers will attempt to show the commission trains 13 and 14 are a public necessity. C&NW’s own figures show an average of more than 60 passen gers per'day. Moreover, the train savers maintain Omaha-Chadron is a mainline and the freight ser vice is profitable. Father Price Visiting Europe AMELIA—Rev.
