Local representatives of the Union
Pacific Short Line and Rio Grande
Western have received no Information
about the latest consolidation of the
Short Line and Union Pacific interests.
A query was yesterday sent TO salt
Lake but the only thing contained in
the reply was that nothing vas known
there about Il at all. Naturally senti-
ment along the Short Line is in favor of
no change in the management OF the
road. although in financial deals there
IA no sentiment Since its segregation
the Short Line has proved itself to- be
the greatest piece of railroad property
in the West. Its field is untouched for
a greater portion Of the distance COW
cred by its route and its traffic ar
rangcments with other lines have been
made with a view to benehting the road
and patrons alike. and the road has
paid interest to its security holders. In
the light of all this. ii is argued by
those Interested in the Short Line re-
manning independent. that the man
aeement would not be changed.

An age limit of 60 years has been
fixed by the new Union Pacific man
agement. It is known that the rule IS
now in operation as far as the shops
of the company are concerned, nut as
to whether 1t win be enforced in other
departments is at present botherlng
some 10000 men throughout the lines
of the company in the West. This limit
now applies on employment in the me-
chanical department. Not only are all
persons over that age in the shops be-
ing discharged, but none will be en-
ployed in the future who are near that
period of life. This is quite sure.
though no official announcement OF the
fact has been made by the company.
OF the 81 mechanics discharged last
week along the lines Of the company,
most of them had passed or We're near
so years old. In cases OF doubt the
foreman had asked point blank ii the
person was 80 years old and in every
case where affirmative answers were
given the men We're discharged. The
matter is exciting the liVeliest comment
among employees who have thus far
escaped the blow The officials of hc
road deny that they have knowledge OF
any age limit having been liked.
