road, will receive a talary of
twenty thousand dollars a year.
As cencral manajrer of the Union

thousand.
Master Mechanic Baruum denies
the report that machinery from the
old Omaha shops has been loaded
on cars preparatory to shipment to
North Platte. He Bays some of the

The retirement of General Mana
ger Dickinson, which now 6eems to
be an assumed fact, will be regretted
by all the old-time employes of the

hood men. Mr. Dickinson has
always met me oroiueruoou men

grievances to present, and the out
come ot tnc conterences were
always satisfactory to the men.
Union labor on the Union Pacific
will lose a good ftieud with the re
