Show HUSH ! HUSH ! We can't get used to the "hush hush" policy of the Union Pacific when some untoward accident befalls the " rolling stock, or when the angry elements hang a haymaker hay-maker on "the main line of the west." WTe know the U P is a good road, and moves a lot of trains, and on a portion of their line they move the crack trains faster than any other road in the nation moves 'em. The rest of the world knows it, too. That's why they get awful curious when a train is 32 hours overdue. They want to know7 where the train is. Last week a train got stuck in a snowecl-in cut, north of Milford, and stayed there for 32 hours. But so far as the U P was officially concerned, no information could be obtained. They just weren't talking. The local office employees wouldn't put out any "official" dope, probably because they have strict orders not to. Guess another head would get lopped off if they told a newspaper reporter re-porter what was happening. We think the U P would have better relations both with the press and the traveling public if they'd start being be-ing honest instead of playing a hush hush game that sends reporters snooping around the right-of-way listening in on conversations. Tf a train is stuck in a snowbank or wrecked isn't it a lot better to have factual information than latrine rumors? |
