'
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.
