Show The Tribune says that "local agents of other roads have said that the enforced en-forced retirement of Mr. Parker of the Union Pacific ensures a sizeable increase in-crease in the freight traffic of , tho llio Grande." There has been a great de al said about the retirement of Mr. Parker from the Union Pacilic. So far as we know ho has given satisfaction to the business public, and retires with the best wishos of all who have had business busi-ness dealings with him. But just why the Union Pacilic saw lit to dispense with his services is nobody's business outside of the railroad managers. They have their own reasons, just tho same as any employer has. They have named as Mr. Parker's successor a well-known well-known ami experienced railroad man, Mr. Kccles, who no doubt will give satisfaction sat-isfaction to the patrons of the road as well, as to tho management. If he doesn't fill tho bill, the management manage-ment will get someoiio else, and it M ill bo nobody's business except that of the oflicials. The statement that a change of men in this city will cause an increase in-crease of business for any other road is all bosh. So long as a railroad treats its patrons fairly it will lose no patronage. patron-age. The retirement of any oiif man from an established institution does not, as a rule, materially affect its business one way or the other. The president dies, but tho government Still goes on. A railroad official retires, but the trains continuo to run. |
