In the matter 'la made publlo would Indicate that Harrlman had decided to accept the resignation thla time. It will be a guess for awhile aa to the Identity of the new president, although Harrlman may have made his selection already. Ed Dickinson la too well hooked up where he la to be tempted back to the Union Pacific except by a big offer. 8ome talk has been In dulged about Holdrege being taken by Har rlman away from the Burlington, but that la not likely either after he has refused repeated offers of promotion on his own road. It seems likely to me that the new president will come from the Bouthern .Pa cific and fit In with Harrlman's. plan of harmonizing the two roads and operating them aa closely together as possible." Differences All Settled. On the very day when President Hurt an nounces his resignation he and representa tives of the machinists finally and com pletely settle the old matter resultant front the strike last year, which was practically 4. tied last June In a conference In. which 9. H, Harrlman participated at New York. The final meeting yesterday was held In President Burt's office and was participated by himself, w. R. McKeen, Jr.. superin tendent of motive power, and Sam Grace, O. W. Smith, A. B. Mildred and other com mitteemen of district lodge No. 11 of the machinists. The settlement was along the Una of the agreement proposed by Mr. Harrlman, namely, that piecework should be entirely abolished from all the shops gt i m mini iiiiii miiiL m i ,, u jMax'XMinxssss: B 0) dzj JVs JJ is J L ) R Green Trading Stamps with Telephone Orders Ask forthem A c TUB VALUB OF CHARCOAL.

Ask for Green Trading Stamps on the system. During the last two months the percent of piecework In the chops trus cut down from (3 to 37 per cent, and by degrees the remainder will be done away with within a few weeks. The question of piecework was the bona of contention of the strike which began In June, VM2, and continued until June, 1!01. Mr. Burt was the prime advocate of this system, which he believed would prove bet tor than the old wage system. Mr. Harrl man was placed In the attitude of not fa voring tho flght to enforce the piecework order for fear of too seriously disturbing ths financial status of the company. Whoa the strike was called off Mr. Burt's friends professed to see In the result a distinct victory for him and. Indeed, lr wus far from a flat defeat. But then arose that talk of Mr. Harrlman's dissatisfaction with the outcome, which did not, ha thought, promise lasting peace between the company and Its men. lie then promised the shopmen that piecework would be abol ished absolutely. Cursant gossip all ulong has Insisted that this created strained re lations between Mr. Burt and Mr. Har rlman, but the former's friends Insist that It did not and that Mr. Burt's rcnignation was In no wis. due to this. Successor Not Considered. NEW YORK, Jan. 8. Through a repre sentative of the Harrlman syndicate, which controls the Union Pacific, it was learned this afternoon that President Burt's resig nation has been tendered, but has not yet been accepted, and the question of a suc cessor has not been considered.
