' jRcturn to Work 1 During tho past sixty days about twenty shop men and car ropairors who quit the service of the Union Pacific in October, 1911, have filed written appli cations to return to work. Theso ap plications, however, failed to find favor with the officials at Omaha, and be lieving that it would be beneficial to the men, to the town and to the com pany to have these men accepted and given work, Piesident Seeberger, of the Chamber of Commerce, went to Omaha Tuesday rught and met in con ference with President Mohler, Genl. Manager Ware and Supt. of Motive Power Fuller. He was courteously re ceived by these officials nnd the matter was discussed at length, with the re sult that Mr. Seeberger won out in his contention, and the men who have made application will be employed a3 fast as additional help is needed. The i order was at once piomulgated by Supt. Fuller, and yesterday Division Fore man McGraw was directed to take to take on three of the men. Theso are Matt Welch and Elliott, car repairers, and Will Owens, a b'lacksmith. It is expected that twp or three Doilermak ers will bo notified to resume work in the near future, and that others, as fast as they are needed, will be given Employment. Mr. Seeberger says the officials feel very friendly toward North Platte, and as far as consistent with goou manage ment, will help the town wherever possible.
