RAILROAD NEWS
Office Men Favored in Official
Positions.
Demand Slack for Man With
Road Experience.
SAY UNIONS ARE THE CAUSE
Train Employees to Antagonize
the Company.
Other Items of General Inter.
est in Traffic World.

Are the railroads recruiting their Of
fcials from the ranks of the trainmen
and enginemen as in former days?
The old time railroad men will say
yes" The later day Office men will
say mo And the office men appar-
emily are in the right stall.
This question is discussed in rail-
road circles often. In Topeka it Will
start an argument any minute.
The recent appointments over the
country among the younger officials of
the railroads have raised this point un-
til it is nearly an established fact-the
railroads are favoring their office train
ed men for official positions.
There is no doubt that the older Off
cial of today with his years of train
service behind him is better able to
deal with the employees and meet them
in their problems. But when they
were braking or firing or running
train either from the caboose or the
vanished cars" they were not organ
lied into the tight union orders as the
men todaZ.
: In a way the railroads cannot be
blamed. Take a conductor, for in
stance. Suppose he is the most COM
petent man the division Granted
that he has handled his trains with
marvellous headwork and economy. Say
he is educated and is fitted to take
charge of an office. Railroad heads
however, find it hard matter to oV-
erlook the fact that for years this con-
ductor has been a member of his union
the union that has fought every move
in conferences in an attempt to obtain
higher wages and easier working con-
ditions.
In time a railroad man who takes
active influence in his union learns to
be a hater of corporations and a con-
slant haraSser of the company for
which he is working.
To take this man from the ranks of
his union friends and establish him as
an official where he will be duty bounC
to guard and push company interests
above everything-it has been found
ticklish proposition and the railroads
are not doing it.
OF course there is no disposition to
stunt the ambitions of railroad man
because he is a member of union that
constantly pecks at the company-far
from that. The officials do not take
the view that a man is down and out
when he joins the union. But there is
no lodging the fact that the operating
man of road experience is not favored
today like he was many years ago.

HEAT FIRES AN OIL CAR.
Gas ExpIodes While Train Is Run
ming at Full Speed.

Arkansas City, Kan, July 12.-
Three cars of oil, one car of bran'
two cars of flour and other mill prod
ucts were totally destroyed on the
santa Fe between Remington and
Fairfax, by the explosion of an oil
car, which caused the confiagrat1on-
The accident happened while train
413 consisting of 20 cars, was in mo-
ton 1t was due, so the suppos1t1on
is, to accumulation of gas from the
oil coming in contact with the neat
from the suns rays. The jar was felt
by the trainmen but none were hurt.
The burning of the oil created vast
amount of smoke and was noticeable
for many miles. The Santa Fe had
not determined the amount OF tne
damage sustained from the wreck,
this morning.

; HILL CENTRAL ABANDONED.
1t Is Expected Now That Rio Grande
Will Handle Colorado Southern.

Denver. Colo, July 12.-Darius
Miller, president of the Burlington
and the Colorado & Southern rail-
roads. and George B. Harris, chairman
of the boards of directors of both
companies. have resigned from the
board of directors. of the Colorado
Midland railroad and with them the
last vestige of the Hill control of the
Colorado road disappeared. Their
successors have not been named.
1t is thought by some of the Mid
land officers that the action may have
been taken to make room for Blair &
Co, the Denver & Rio Grande bank
ers of New York, to exercise the OPP
ton they hold on the half interest held
by the Colorado & Southern. George
w. Vallery, president of the Midland,
stated yesterday that the option had
not been exercised when he left New
York a few days ago and that he did
not believe it had yet.
Rio -Grande officials do not know
whether the title to the company is
clear enough at the present to war
rant their taking control of the road,
although the supreme court of New
York recently released the Midland
from the first mortgage of the Colo
RADIO & Southern.
