Last Sunday the train dispatchers'
office was hurrietlly moved from
n,Soto to Poplar Bluff This move
has been contemplated for some
time, as ii will be a saving TO the
company Of five dispatchers, Under
the old system il took five at Pop
lar Bluff and seven here, and by
moving the dispatchers from DeSoto
10 the Bluff seven men can handle
the work. thus doing away with hve
dlspatchers. The above arrange
mcnt takes seven men from DeSoto,
but more than that number have
been added to the train crews run
ming out of here, Two operators
will be kept here so really DeSoto
has lost only five men, This ar
raueement may not last long,
