Columbus Tribune: The Grand
local freight has been discontinued
The train was taken off the road Mon
day morning. Conductor A. ]. Smith,
who has held the position of conductor
on this run from Columbus to Grand
Island for long time has taken to
braking, rather than take run out of
Omaha. There are quite a number of
brakemen, tiremen, conductors and en-
gineers on the extra list now, and
every train that is discontinued makes
just so many more. In conversation
with one of the extra firemen the other
day we learned that he had worked
but three days in as many months.
This is quite change from what it
was six months ago, when enough
men could not be gotten to man the
engines and trains. Railroad men are
beginning to get little blue over the
outlook for employment.
