OF teellnE between employer and EN-
pioye a number OF men who were dis
charged in the last two years have
been reinstated and assigned to their
old positions or given others equally
as good. This gives all of the men
who were let out about six months
ago a chance to take their old places
on the road, including passenger con-
ductors accused of failing to turn in
cash fares and other serious offenses.
The new policy was inaugurated
by General Manager Horace G. Clark
and follows the methods he put into
effect on other roads with good re-
suits. The officials announce. how
ever, that offenses like the wreck near
Leadville the last week, where a
freight engineer ran past stopping
point and collided with the pay car,
cannot be condoned unless the man
responsible has proven himself hero
in the past.
The best of feeling now pervades
every department of the road, includ-
ing the Burnham shops, where nom
union and union men were at logger
heads for over year as a result of
the trouble Is months ago, when the
men were locked out.
Committees OF the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers are now in ses-
sion in Denver and meeting with the
Rio Grande officials adjusting minor
schedule matters. The firemen's
committee will come next for a SINH
lar purpose. General Manager Clark
disposes of the business in day or
two that former officials used to
wrangle weeks over.
