HARTMAN SYSTEM
TAKES RIVALS Man
Schumacher Leaves Western
Pacific to Become Traffic
Director in Chicago

Thomas Milton Schumacher, vice
president in charge of traffic of the
Western Pacific and the Denver and
Rio Grande railroads, with offices in
this city, was yesterday appointed as
sistant traffic director of the Harri-
man lines, with Office at Chicago. The
appointment of Schumacher to a high
position with the Hartman lines comes
as distinct surprise. although nearly
all of Schumacher's previous railroad
service has been with the Hartman
roads.
NEWS IS BELIEVED
Of1cial advices regarding the ap-
pointment were not forthcoming at the
local Offices of the. Western Pacific or
the Southern Pacific yesterday, but
prominent traff1cmen expressed them
selves as being satisfied that the news
was official. Schumacher has always
been a favorite of ]. c. Stubs, vice
president and traffic director of the
Hartman lines. and his advancement
in Hartman line circles has always
been rapid.
Only a few years ago Schumacher
was connected with the freight de-
partment of the Union Pacific. He adj
vanced to general agent of that COM
come traffic manager of the Ell Paso
and Southwestern and the Morenci
Southern railroads. When the organi-
zation of the Western Pacific was be-
gun Schumacher was one of the first
to be appointed.
SUCCESSOR NOT NAMED
His wide knowledge Of traffic condi-
tions throughout the country has given
him prestige among traffic officers
and his services have been solicited by
several other large railroad companies
only recently. Schumacher succeeds
to the position Of z. o. Mccormick,
who will come to this city June as
vice president of the Southern Pacific
in charge of traffic. The position of
vice president in charge of traffic in
the Western Pacific and Denver and
Rio Grande is now vacant. Schumacher
went east to perfect the organization
of his department, but that organiza-
ton will now be completed by his sue
cessor, who probably will be named
next week when G. H. Schlacks, first
vice president of the Western Pacific,
returns to this city.
The Western Pacific. is expected to
open for passenger traffic about June
Is. No passenger officials have been
appointed as yet. and according to
advices from Salt Lake City the only
available equipment is that of the
parent line, the Denver and Rio Grande.
