RAIL HEADS SAY
DRAFT MOVE HAS
DIRE FEATURES
Officials Declare Transfer OIL
MaChinists to Eastern Lines
Would Cripple Roads in
Central West.

Omaha railroad officials admit
that, should Director General Nc
Adoo decide to draft some of their
machinists, shop men and skilled me-
chanics and send them to the eastern
lines to aid in putting the motive
power there in running order, they
would have to submit.
They say, however, that move of
this kind would seriously cripple the
roads of the central west and cut
down their efficiency to an alarming
extent.
President Calvin of the Union Pa
ciic asserts that while the equipment
of the company is maintained in as
good condition as cumstances will
permit. there is as hortage of men in
most of the shops along the line Of
the system.
Running Short-Handed.
General Manager Walters of the
Northwestern lines west of the Mis-
souri, river asserts that at all of the
company shops of the territory over
which he has jurisdiction, everything
is being run short handed and that it
is impossible to hire skilled mechan-
les, simply because they are not avail
able.
In the Burlington shops at Have
lock, the company's big plant west Of
the Missouri river, there is an acute
shortage of machinists of all classes
To relieve the situation women have
been put at work and they are now
employed and giving good satisfac-
tion in several of the departments.
With reference to the shortage Of
skilled mechanics, what holds true
with the Burlington at Havelock is
also true in the Alliance shops.
Railroad men assert that their
greatest difficulty is in finding men
who can work on locomitives. AS the
situation exists at this time, very often
after locomotives have come in off
their run and are in need of minor
repairs they have to be sent out with
out the repairs being made. simply be-
cause the machinists to overhaul them
are not available.
Should any large number of ma
chinists or other skilled mechanics be
drafted from the shops OF the western
roads local railroad officials say the
situation in the central territory would
become serious.

Blakely, accompanied by his wife,
