BAMDERGER ASKS
FOR INJUNCTION
Would Restrain Union Pacific
From Blocking Traffic in
Ogden Yards.
TRAINS HELD OVER AN HOUR
Passengers and Train Crews Helpless,
While officials Could Not
BE Found.

President Hamburger of the Salt
Lake & Ogden railroad is much ncensed
at the frequent blocking OF the cross
Ing OF his line at Thirty first street.
Ogden. by Union Pacific freight trains.
In fact il has become such a grievous
nuisance that today. he applied to the
district court at ogden for an in1unc-
ton restraining the Union Pacific from
thus interfering with his traffic. The
final straw occurred Thursday night,
when a freight train rested at the
crossing for one hour and half. while
the train hands and passengers on
Bamberger line trains stalled on either
side, smote in vain the nocturnal at
mosphere with a wide and assorted
variety OF verbal Horticulture.
Frantic efforts wero made from the
Hamburger offices both in Ogden and
salt Lake to argue the burning ques-
ton with the Union Pacific Offices in
salt Lake and In ogden. But. strange
to relate every official, sub-otficial and
chief clerk I'm the offices alluded to- ap-
peared TO have gone on picnic or TO
the moving picture shows. There was
nothing doing The freight train hands
had become confirmed agnostics-they
knew nothing about it-and advised
the party complaining 20 "call up the
superintendent" The Bamberger train
men thought the L. u. freight train
might have been cut in two long
enough TO have let the congestion OF
salt Lake and ogden rolling stock rush
through But not even this could
be effected. The result was
that the train due in ogden
at S:45 pm, arrived at 1920, and the
p m southbound train could not leave
until 1920 o'clock, when by some mys-
ferrous influence tho crew Of the freight
train awoke from their corpse-llke quie-
tude and actually got their train out OF
the way. II Is alleged, though. that even
at this late hour the Union Pacific
freight was only pulled off the crossing
when Mr.. Hamburger finally got hold OF
some official and notified him OF in
tentions to sue for damages, unless
something was done. and that very
soon. The trains were then moved
The Short Line officials I'm this city
remark with philosophic calmness that
Il Is no AFFAIR of theirs as the Short Line
jurisdiction does not extend east OF the
ogden yards. They are OF the opinion
that tho Ogden yards were blocked
with trains so that the freight could
not get in there, and had to wait until
the tracks were cleared.
Mr.. Hamburger says the overhead
crossing win he completed within 30
days and further troubles OF this char
acter will DO avoided.

Not only are the men as a rule
guilty of walking right into the trap

who make them their objects of prey.
Then the victim comes to police head
quarters and demand that the depart

I'VE have arrested any number OF
