vice to make room for set of import
ed employees, who are to come from
the Louisville, Evansville & st. Louis
road, of which Mr.. Phillips, the newly
appointed master of transportation,
was once an officer. This movement,
If true, will not make many friends
for the Santa Fe road, as it would be
hard to find more courteous, efficient
and gentlemanly set OF conductors,
ticket agents ard station masters
than are now and have been
for years past connected with this road. |
The people all along the line are loud |
in their praises Of the Santa Fe con.
ductors, many OF whom are veterans |
with the road. and a sweeping removal |
of these popular railroad men would |
no doubt find speedy resentment on |

public. 1t is proverbial that the pas
senger conductors, especially, of the
Santa Fe are among the most popular
railroad men in Texas, and especially
among the people living along its
line.
