SOUTHWESTERN MEN TO REMAIN.
Although Nothing Onicial Has been RE-
ceived. Such Is the sspposItion- The New
Time Card. which does into Effect To
morrow at NOOn-General Gosslp.
As prophesied in THE ARUGs few
evenings ago. a change is to be made
in the chief dispatcher's Office of the
Rock Island. although it is to be
hoped it will effect no more than the
removal OF the three dispatchcrs on
the main line to Des Moines. The
change. as near as cap be learned, is
to be made in the interests of econ.
omy and policy. As soon as ar.
rangements can he made, possibly in
10 days. or so, the transfer will he
executed. The southwestern dis
patchers will remain here, from what
can he learned, as no steps to the
contrary have yet been made. Rock
Island will continue as the head
quarters of the trainmaster and chief
dispatcher, AS this is the terminal
point of the two divisions which
they preside over.
