o'BRIEN To, RE PRESIDENT.
Encouragement of the Hartman Lines
Will Give Promotions to Faithful
General Managers.

In the Encouragement Of the Harri-
man official roster made necessary by
the loss OF prestige by Hartman in
the recent Investigations, 1t is said
that the present general managers OF
various Hartman lines which COM
prise the big systems, will be made
presidents Of their respective lines.
Under this arrangement General
Manager ]. P. o'Brien of the o. R. &
N, would become president OF this
system. A dispatch from Omaha says
of the proposed change in the man.
agement:
A strong impression prevails among
railroad men that Hartman will moi
be elected to the position of president
of the several roads in the system
which bears his name. This does no
in any sense losing his control of thu
immense properties which he has con
| trolled so long and so successfully.
But while no announcement of tht
fact has been made and none is looked
for in the immediate future, 1t is ;
matter of common talk that after tn
next annual meeting of the differen
roads the title of president of eacl
road will be held by the present vic
presidents. and that Hartman viii
become chairman of the board of di
rectors.
Under this plan A. H. Mohler woul
become president of the Union Pacific
E. E. Calvin Of the Southern Pacific
w. H. Bancroft of the Oregon Shor
Line, and ]. P. O'Brien of the Orego
Railway & Navigation company. TIL
plan is similar to that now in effect o.
the Gould system. 1t will give create
individuality to each of the separat
roads, while at the same time main
tanning the present harmony of tn
management.
Together with the change in the eS
ecutive heads of the roads, strength
ening of the boards of directors
looked for by the addition of new me
who would share with Hartman tn
increased responsibility which ha
come with the great growth of tn
system under his management.

The big railway bridge across the

half long--the longest steel bridge
in the world. Work was begun in
January, 1906, and it is expected that
the mammoth structure will be COM

In receiving the actual benefits of
the recent wage settlement between
the trainmen and conductors and the
western railroads, the Oregon Daily
Journal says:
Tralnmen's orders are pleased with
the result of the strike settlement
made by their chief officers and
committees at Chicago. The men did
not want a strike, as they realized
thg. such a course would be great
calamity to the business interests Of
the country, The settlement obtain
ed from the railroad managers in
cludes material concessions as to
wages and conditions Of service.
At the final stage of the negotia-
tions there was but two cents diff
ference between what the men asked
and what the railroads were willing
to grant. In the settlement the men
obtained concessions that are regard
cd as nearly equivalent to that diff
ference.
A Real Wage Increase.
Under the new schedule which
| went into effect April passenger
conductors wages are increased from
$40 to $50 per month. Overtime Is
granted in cases where by the delay
ing of train the crew does not reach
destination on time where the crew
Is entitled to a layover, as on the
Corvallis run. Wages for baggage
men are increased $3.50 per month
and flagmen $3.50 per month.
| Freight conductors secure conces-
sions still more important. Overtime
for passenger men will be on. ba'
sis of Is miles an hour and the rate
will be 35 cents an hour for baggage
men and flagmen, 23 cents. overtime
to he counted where 1t exceeds &c
minutes.
Regular Overtime Expected.
Work train crews. whose day now
consists of 12 hours, secured a re-
duction of their day to 10 hours
work. When they work 12 hours, al
Is bound to be the case nearly al
the time, they will receive two hours
overtime. which means 90 cents {
day increase for the conductors ant
correspondhgly less for the remain

The effect of the settlement is t
give yardmen an increase of pa
