CHICAGO. July 1.-The new unit
system" of organization on the Harri-
man lines. which is intended to obviate
the dangers of over specialize ton and
to better ft officials for promotion TO
executive positions by giving them a
well rounded training. was applied to-
day to the staff Of Vice President and
General Manager A L. Mohler of the
Union Pacific. An announcement of
changes in title for the general SUI
perintendent. superintendent of motive
power and machinery. chief engineer.
superintendent of transportation and
assistant to the general manager was
also made.
NEW DUTIES FOR STAFF
These men will all be designated
hereafter as sassistant general man
ayers and in addition to their present
duties will be assigned additional func-
tions outside of their regular depart
ments.
The plan is one which has been tried
out for a year and a half in many of
the division organizations, the division
master mechanics and engineers, all be-
ing given coordinate titles as assistant
superintendents.
Its extension for the first time TO the
exclusive organization marks the pass
ing of the idea from rhe experimental
stage, and 1T is no VITO be extended to
other Offices throughout the Hartman
system
HARTMAN FAVORED PLAN
This plan of giving a broad training
in the operating department was one
which had been regarded with great
interest by the late z. H. Hartman. 1t
has been observed that members of the
mechanical and engineering depart
ments were handicapped in the path to
promotion TO general manager or vice
president as compared with the men
more directly engaged in the handling
Of trains, such as train masters and
superintendent.
One result of the plan is said TO he
more system in the freedom of COM
mupication between departments. while
reducing the number of letters written
