TELEPHONE MEN
TO SPECIALIZE
Central Union Company Orders
Change in Scheme of Lo-
cal Management.
TO BE EFFECTIVE MARCH !
A. J. Beverlin Will Be Commercial
Manager and Two New Officials
Will Be in Office.

In accordance with a recently
adopted policy of the Central Union
telephone company by which its var
ious officials and employees specialize
in their work, a change will occur
in the local management at the be-
ginning of the coming month. A. ].
2cverlin, manager of the Rock Is
lang exchange and in charge of the
plants of the Moline and East Moline
exchanges, is to become commercial
n anager for all three plants and in
fact all the holdings of the telephone
company in Rock Island county. His
territory will extend from Aledo and
Galva on the south to Princeton on
the east and Clinton, H., on the
north. His principal duties will be to
exercise a general supervision and
specifically to keep in touch with the
Public.
TWO OTHER HEADS.
In addition to the Office of COM
mercial manager there will be two
ether distinctive branches L. L. Nc
Master, late of Galesburg, will be-
come traffic manager for the district
and w. II. Huston of this city will
be plant manager. Each will have
specific duties and direct charge
over his own division with his own
assistants and employees. This gives
each a chance to specialize and
thereby better the service as a whole.
That is the aim of the company in
ordering the change which becomes
effective March /.
Mr.. Beverlin has discharged to a
considerable extent the duties of all
three of these Offices for some time
past, at least the company has held
him responsible and the change will
tend to greatly tighten the load on
his shoulders and give him greater
freedom in the commercial field. He
will continue his headquarters in this
city while the other two will prob
ably go to Moline.
INSIST ON PREFIXEs.
Mr.. McMaster, new traffic mana
ger, has been in the city a short
time already and has Instituted sew
eral changes for benefiting the ser
vice. One of these requires all sub
scribers to use the prefix to the num-
Der they are calling. In case a pat
ron fails, the operators have been
ordered to inquire What exchange
please?" As there are the four ex.

one word in the Old Testament that fits
the situation. and that is 'sheol,' which

meter in Russia and arrived in New York
early last week. Orders had been given
to have II shipped here. and the retinue
of servants at the embassy were very
much worried when IL failed to arrive.

ACTION PLEASES LABOR.
Washington Unions Rejoice that
Senate Defaced Treaties.

Resolutions probably will be passed at
the meeting of the Central Labor Union
tonight commencing the action of the
Senate in passing the arbitration treaties
in their shorn form. On August Il, 1911
the Central Labor Union passed resolu-
tons condemning the treaty with Great
Britain, and urging the Senate TO avoid
an alliance with England that would be
this country.
At that time they took the ground that
Il was against the business interests Of
the country and labor to pass the meas
ure. They condemned the proposition to
Grbitrate questions of national honor
vital interest, and domestic policy. and
were particularly strong in their oppose
ton to 1t, in that 1t might open wide the
doors TO coolie labor in this country,
which is a great menace to the Pacific
slope.
