Omaha Bee: The new administration
OF the Union Pacific railroad has just
succeeded in solving what was feared
would be one Of the most embarrassing
questions to come up. The new COM
pany's wage schedule with the cOnGuc-
tors. the brakemen and the switchmen
Of the Union Pacific has just been de-
termined after a session at the local
headquarters lasting several days. AS
the scale of wages for the engineers and
firmen was fixed about six months ago
the entire question of wages of en-
ployes of the operating department On
the Union Pacific is now fixed for some
time to come. and unless unforeseen
difficulties should arise there will be
no strife between the company and its
trainmen.
The last conference was begun at I'm
ion Pacific headquarters on Monday
morning and was concluded on
Wednesday afternoon. The railroad
WAS represented by General Manager
Dickinson. Superintendent of Trans
p0rtatiun buckingham, Superintendent
| If Motive Power and Machinery Nc
Ccnnell and Superintendent Baxter.
The employees were represented by dele
cations of conductors. brakemen and
switchmen from the Nebraska, Wyo-
ming, Colorado and Kansas divisions
and by Chiefs Clark of theOrder ofRail-
road Conductors and Morrissey of the
Order of Railway Trainmen.
The hearing developed a great deal
Of testimony IN the work of the en-
poyes belonging to three different
classes, about their hours and wages.
1t is said there is no especial contro-
versy over any of the points involved,
though the heads of the trainmen's
| orders pointed out changes in the ar
rGngement of hours and runs that were
desired. 1t is said the conference will
result in but slight changes to the pres
ent scale of wages and the rules and
regulations now in effect. although no
official announcement of the results of
the conference will be given out until
the recommendations of General Mama
ger Dickinson have been passed upon
by President Burt. Chiefs Morrissey
ard Clark returned east yesterday
morning and the Union Pacific en-
ployes who were in here to attend the
hearing have gone back to their re-
spective runs.
