OMAHA, Neb., Jan. From outoide
sources it ia learned that all is not
serene with the receivers Of the Union
Pacific relative to the fight to be made
in resisting ths application Of tbs cons
solidated and mortgage trustees for a
separate receiver for the Oregon Short
Line ard Utah Northern. A. II. Bots
sevsin, it is understood, hiss expressed
himself az being in ny npeshy with ths
movement OF the Loan and Trust COM
pany on the ground that he would like
to zee that the earning capacity OF the
Oregon Short Line was separate from
the Union Pacific.
Another fruitful source Of worriment
70 the receivers comes in the shape OF a
friendly interest of the blanket mort
gage and OF the Utah Northern in the
scheme of segregation go that tnlugs
ara beginning to be quito complicated.
II ia thought, however, if the Boissevain

that tho application will likely prove
aucnessiul. Freight Traffic Manager
Monroe is ca mia way eaat to meet the
receivers >Nd talk over the freight eitua
tlon in conjunction with the application

The historic order OF Judge Caldwell,
concerning this dischsrge OF employees

Judge Caldwell made the order, which
hay become the hope of railway en-
| ployees, he declared that tho humblest
employee would have the right TO carry
u grievance clear up to him, end he
would eee that no got O fair deal. Two
| former employees of the Union Pacific,
now out of jobs because of retrench-
ment, are preparing to do exectly thet
| thing. Local Freight Agent Burrows OF
the Union Pacific received ordere from
| headquarters in the latter part OF De-
cember Co reduce the force in the local
freight house, and he did 40. There
were about 10 men discharged. 1t was
| 6aiQ tnGS there were TWO OF tue men VINO
proposed to bring the matter before
General Manager Dickinson. and SEQ if
| the older men should not have the
preference, it being alleged that some
OF the younger men had been retained.
This hea always been this policy
of Mr.. Dickinson, and the msn bsliove
that if the matter WAC presented TO him
in the proper light thet he would ace
that when there were discharges to be
made the oldeat employees had the call
and stayed in.
