Result of New Rnlinj.
CLERKS TO NOT LIKE THE MOVE
Official Smr Thry lln Mnt rt Why
nallroad Jlra honld fir l.n
tltted to t'-rrr Tranvpurta
tlon on Oilier I.lnrt.
In obedience to the miniate of the In
terstste Commerce commission, the rail
roads centerinR at Omaha, ttirourh tholr
officials, have decided that after January
1 a nw onioi- ()f things will maintain
ulth rcferencn to the exchange of passes.
The new ruling, as prcylounly an
hounced, '.a expected to do away with
considerable traveling that tallroad em
ployes mlcht expert to do over foreign
lines. This ruling makes It imperative
that eaeli and every railroad shall desig
nate some official through whom re
quests of employes for transportation
Fhall be made. Already the Northwestern
lias designated Vice President Ashton of
Chicago as the party. The Burlington
has established a "past clearing house"
In Chicago and through this applications
for freo transportation must go. The
Vnlon Pacific is formulating its plana and
It Is understood that the Milwaukee will
designate one of Its vice presidents as its
pass censor. The same plan will be fol
lowed by the Rock Island and Illinois
Central.
Some of the railroad employes feel that
the action of the Interstate Commerce
commission Is aimed at them. Company
officials take a view that is Jost the
opposite. They say that under the new
rulings of the commission the president
of a railroad cannot secure a pass over
any line other tnan his own without
making an application and having it go
through the regular channels.
Xo Great Hardship.
Head officials of the railroads say that
they are unable to Bee where, when, or
why the new ruling will work any great
hardship upon employes- In the future,
if they are entitled to It under company
rules, they will receive transportation
the same as in the past, the only differ
ence being that they will have to make
their requests, which will o through the
regular channels.
Many railroad officials, however, con
tend that there is no good buslnesa rea
son why their employes should be given
free transportation over other roads other
than those for which they are working.
To show the logic of their argument, they
point to the fact that transportation is a
marketable commodity, eold at a fixed
price and should bo paid for by each
person using It. Going into the proposi
tion still farther, they add that because
a man happens to work in a grocery,
hardware or dry goods store there Is no
valid reason why his employe should, on
Ms own motion, or upon an order given
by come associated employe, perhaps a
llttlo farther up the line, go to some
other merchant and get his goods and
supplies for nothing.
Mar En Passe.
There are some railroad men who see in
the recent order of the Interstate Com
merce commission the beginning of the
end of free transportation. They go so
far as to make the prediction that within
the next ten years all classes of free
transportation will be abolished, so far
hs courtesies between lines are concerned.
They expect that even railroad president,
if they desire to travel on lines other
than their own. will have to pay fare.
A.I railroad' officials aree that the
agents and employes in the smaller cities
arc tho ones who will be hardest hit by
the commission's newest order. In the.
past some of these men have made ex
tended annual trips. They have come In
contact with the traveling passenger and
freight agents of other lines and by rea
son of liuvlng done some buslnesa on tho
side In the way of securing the routing
of passengers and freight, In payment
these traveling agents have given them
and members of their families passes to
somu of the most remote parts of tho
United States. Under the new order there
will bo no more of this, as the traveling
passenger and freight agents will be
shorn of tholr authority, not even being
able to get passes for themselves unless
they make the regulation application and
send It up through the regular channel,
designated by the commission.
Clerks Stay t Home.
Railroad men say, too, that the new
order will shut out a lot of another kind
of travel. In thia'city, for Instance, there
aro a lot of railroad clerks and employes
who have been In the habit of making
little excursions Into the country each
Saturday afternoon, returning the follow
ing Monday morning. They have had
friends In other railroad passenger offices.
To theae men week after week these
clerks and employes have been going and
securing transportation. Now ail of this
is likely to otop, unless It can be shown
that the trips are necessary, for It Is not
considered likely that these travelers will
desire to go to the man who requests
passes and file their applications for free
transportation on other lines.

MAYOR VETOESRESOLUTIONS
Taboos Move of Council to Investi
gate Light and 'Phone Rates.
MATTER OF COST IS THE REASON
Dahlman Says the Resolutions as
Prepared Do Not Specify How
Much the InTestlaratloa Is
to Cost the City.
Major Dahlman has put his official
taboo on the resolutions passed by the
city council specifying the course the
committees appointed to Investigate light
and telephone rates In Omaha were to
pursue.
"I have vetoed them," said the mayor,
"because they do not provide for an ap
propriation to cover the cost of the In
vestigation. There Is no telling how much
money will be needed, as experts may
have to be summoned and examined. This
has been always my polity to veto con
current resolutions providing for such
investigation without stating how much
It going to cost the taxpayers."
Epecial committees of three were ap
pointed to investigate the light and tele
phone rates and Chairman Funkhouscr
of the telephone investigation committee
at the next meeting of the council sub
mitted a resolution from Assistant City
Attorney Lambert outlining the commit
tee's work. This resolution was passed
after severe opposition by Councllmcn
Johnson and bridges. Chairman Hummel
of the light committee has made no move
toward the investigation owing to the
pending litigation over the light com
pany's franchise. It Is the opinion of At
torney Lambert that Mayor Dahlman has
the legal phase of the question on hU
side In vetoing the resolutions and thereby
further postponing the time ""when the
committees are ready to report.
"In my opinion," said Mayor iJahlman,
"It will require about six months to com
plete the investigation." He cited In
stances In other cities where such Investi
gation had extended ovnr several months.

Christmas Not Easy
For "Hello" Girls
There was hot much merry Christ
mas for the , "hello" girls, as there Is
more telephoning on holidays than at
any other time. The full force of eighty
girls was on duty all Monday morning
and two-thirds of the regular force was
working afternoon and evening. The
girls worked five hours Instead of the
usual seven and one-half to eight and
one-half.
The Douglas office has Just Installed
a cafeteria for the telephone girls. One
kind of meat, two kinds of vegetables,
sandwiches, fruit and hot drinks are
served dally at cost.
The key to success In business Is the
Judicious and persistent use of newspaper
