The Assignment Of Positions to officials
Under the New Deal.
Sunday morning the GLOBE published the
circular of H. h. Porter, president of the Chi
cago, st. Paul & Omaha Railroad company,
giving the heads of the respective departments
under the consolidation Of the st. Paul Sioux
City, Chicago, st. Paul & Minneapolis and
North Wisconsin roads. Yesterday circulars
were issued by. General Manager Bishop. divid-
ing the consolidated roads into working divi-
sions and assigning officers to the same. The
working divisions are three, the st. Paul
Chicago, st. Paul d Sioux City,
and the Sioux City & Nebraska.
the latter covering the main line and branches
west out of Sioux City, the St. Paul and Sioux
City the main lines and branches between the
points named, and the st. Paul and Chicago
the line east of st. Paul.
For the Sioux City and Nebraska division
Mr.. o. d. Brown is appointed chief engineer
and superintendent, with headquarters at
Sioux City. Mr.. Brown in connection with
| his Office has charge of the location oonstruc-
ton of the company's lines in Nebraska. and
until further notice of the Missouri river
| transfer at Sioux City.
Mr.. John r. Lincoln, the energetic and eff
ficient superintendent of the st. Paul & Sioux
City railroad, is appointed superintendent of
| this division, and Mr.. j. c. Boyden, the gen.
eral freight agent of that road, will continue
| to look after that business, under appointment
as assistant traffic manager.
For the Eastern division MIR. d. Spencer, as
| sistant superintendent under MIR. Winter, OF
the Chicago, st. PAUL. Minneapolis road, is
appointed superintendent, while Mr.. ]. q.
Hiland, assistant traffic manager
of the same road, is appointed traffic manager
for the division.
It will thus be seen that the former officials
v~e A. ID r1x oil otoSv
ed in the consolidation. in equally as impOr-
tant positions as they before held. The strik-
| ing exception to this is in the case of Mr.. W.
b. Dixon, general passenger agent of the st.
Paul & Sioux City road, whose Office is abolish
ed, or rather merged into that of the general
traffic manager of which Mr.. Frank
B.. CLARK is - p the bead bead; =, As As
after faithful and efficient officials, it is to be
presumed that Mr.. Dixon will not be allowed
| to sever his connection with the roads.
| Mr.. G. 8. w. Young appointed auditor of
| the consolidated roads as announced in Presi-
dent Porter's circular order published Sunday,
was the auditor for the Chicago, St. Paul 4
Minneapolis road, and had his headquarters at
mating st. Paul as the general
headquarters of the consolidated roads, he
commenced moving his Office yesterday to this
| city, and will probably have quarters in the
headquarters building of the St. Paul 4
Sioux City company.
MIR. E. q. Winter, general superintendent, is
also preparing to move his Office from Hudson
to this city, and will probably be located in the
same building.
General Traffic Manager Clarke and Assistant
Traffic Manager Hiland will remain for the
present in their present quarters, corner Of
| Third ard Jackson streets.
| 1t may be stated in this connection that the
| increased number of officials concentrated in
st. Paul by the consolidation, together with
the largely increased clerical force attendant
| upon the same, and by the rapidly growing
business of the consolidated roads, has already
| demonstrated the fact that the accommOda
tions available in both the buildings heretofore
occupied by the separate organ
izations is entirely inadequate ant
that the erection of permanent headquar
tiers buildings to meet this want is one of thu
matters now earnestly considered by the man
! aging officials.
Yesterday afternoon President Porter, Gen.
eral Manager Bishop and Assistant Traffic Man
ager Boyden went west over the road to Omaha
| travelling in President Porters business car at
tached to the Omaha express.
