GETTING BACK TO
 SHORTER DIVISIONS.
New Haven Road Finds By Experience That Long Divisions Are InadvisahIe.

After experimenting for a matter of eight years. operating officials of the New Haven road came back to the old plan of shortening divisions on the system, says the New Haven Times Leader. This plan was worked out by men perfectly familiar with the most unique system in the country and was abandoned by men brought in from other roads. It has been admitted at last, old-time railroad men say, that the New Haven road cannot be han dled by methods that apply to long distance railroads of the west or south.
 Eight years ago the New Haven had ten divisions. Today there are nine. But the nine are practically the equiv every one is expecting to see many of the New Haven's difficulties solved. A capable set of operating officials has been established. even at the expense of men who have long been with the road and were expecting promotion as a natural course when the changes came.
 It was under Mir. MeIlen that a new operating vice president came to the road with the understanding that was practically this: Take this property and show how you can handle it. Get any person here from any road you desire; only get results out of the road and you will be all right. A new manager came who was inn pressed with the idea of long divisions because all of his experience lay with | long divisioned roads. Divisions were | consolidated, capable men were re- | lieved and either pensioned or given jobs of smaller importance and with greatly reduced salaries.
 The long divisions didn't work out well. Other managers came and went meeting with indifferent success. Final. | ly C. l.. BardO an old time New Haven man, was brought back again and made general manager. He gave the long divisions a thorough tryout and came to the seemingly inevitable con- clusion that the New Haven was 6
 peculiar system, needing special treat. l ment- So he has restored the short | division plan and every one expects | fine results.
