president OF the Great Northern was
in the city today and held an import
ant conference with several railroad
men Mr.. Hill was on his way 10 New

pose Of his visit here was to arrange
for the coming of Darius Miller as
traffic mana ger of the Great Northern
and Burlington Tt developed that Mr.
Miller will not come to Chicago until
after the annual meeting of the North
ern Pacific in October.
There is a hitch in the original plan
as outlined BY Mr. Hill It was his de-
sire to have Mr. Miller in Chicago in
charge of the traffic Of the three roads
and TO Gust President Mellen of the
Northern Pacific In his plan also the
Northern Pacific was to play second
fiddle TO the Great Northern in the
matter OF getting exchange traffic from
the Burlington Mr. Mellen, however.
proved strong enough to Illustrate a
portion of this plan. and when he OBJ
jected to Mr.. Miller being placed over
his head in the matter of traffic his OBJ
lection was favorably considered BY
the Hartman people AS q compromise
it was decided to permit Mr. Miller 10
come as traffic director OF the Great
Northern and Burlington with advisory
privileges over the Northern Paciflc's
traffic.
Among the railroad men whom Mr.
Hill saw today was President ingalls,
Of the Big -Four, Traffic Director Stubbs
