Show Union Pacific Will Engage Women as Ticket Dispensers Change Effective Today May Soon Embrace Salt Lake in Operations. THOUGH the public Is becoming accustomed ac-customed to women elevator conductors con-ductors and feminine faces in many other places which before the war had been considered exclusively ex-clusively the sphere of man, still another position is opened to woman, this time by the Union Pacific railroad. Woman is to replace man in the ticket offices. The change will begin today, though no women have been assigned to Salt Lake immediately from the students' school of the road at Omaha. The Union Pacific is introducing the innovation in order that men ticket agents may be shifted to positions made vacant by employees in other departments depart-ments being called to the colors. As rapidly as women can be instructed in the details of the work they will be sent from Omaha to the important offices of the road throughout the country. The Salt Uake offices have not yet been notified of an impending change. |
