STRICKLAND GETS
WINTERS POSITION
Nebraska Man Promoted to Be
General Superintendent of
Omaha Road

The place of Wallace C. Winter, gem
eIal superintendent of the Omaha road,
has been filed by the promotion of Samuel
6. Strickland, who now holds the post OF
superintendent of the Nebraska divisions
of the road.
Mr.. Strickland viii be succeeded by
Thomas w Kennedy who bears the pres
ent title of assistant superintendent at st.
James.
It is generally reported that Mr.. Ken
nedy's position will be filed by Assistant
Superintendent Frank Nichols of Itasca,
and he in turn will be followed by E. E.
Nash, general agent at Minneapolis.
Mr.. Nash.s job, according to report. will
be taken by C. w. Payne, who for many
years has been agent of the road at East
st. Paul
Mr.. Winter goes into the railway sup
ply house in Chicago, where he has &C
cepted an important place. His resigna-
tion was sent in sometime ago and since
then the officers of the road have been
carefully going over the ground and de-
termining just where the line of promo
tion should lie.
Mr. Strickland is an official who has the
entire confidence of his superiors, and
with his long service of the company is
picked for the high post as a worthy sue
cessor of Mr.. Winter.
Mr.. Kennedy is popular and able man,
according to the estimates placed on him
by his fellow workers.
Mr.. Nichols and Mr.. Nash are both well
known locally and have been selected for
advances on the merit system put into
effect by the owners of the property many
years ago. This system in its details has
puzzled the railroad world to a great de-
gree because it sometimes resulted in the
placing of comparatively young men in
high positions before they had demon
strated publicly their ability to handle
them. The officers of the company point
to the effects of this system for justifi-
cation and say that no matter how young
the men named for high place have been
the results in every case have vindicated
the idea.
c. W. Payne, agent of the Omaha at
East st. Paul is the last official named
by the Omaha for promotion on account
. of the resignation of Mr.. Winter: He
has been selected for the Minneapolis job
which will be vacated by Mr.. Nash when
he moves up notch.
Mr. Payne and Mr.. Nash have each
been employed by the railroad for about
fourteen years and have been steadily
advanced from the lower rungs of railroad
work Both of them are young men and in
being named for promotion at this time
each of them is honored by the company.
The whole series of promotions IS in ac-
cord with the system of the Vanderbilt
roads to retain good men in positions to
the limit of their capab bilities and to pro-
mote good men TO that limit as rapidly
as possible.
All the changes go into effect Jan. /.
