Show Many New Men ! Added To Local I Force By U. P. j That the Union Pacific railroad is going to take the lead in Mil-i Mil-i ford's recovery from the depression depres-sion seems assured by develop-, develop-, ments of the last two weeks during ! which time a dozen or more men j have been added to various departments depart-ments here in Milford besides the large number of trainmen and engineers who have been put to work to facilitate movement of the past increaesing traffic. Four machinists have been put I to work in Milford during the last i two weeks, which is especially in-f in-f dicative of much better times as none has been employed in Milford i since 1930. These are Clarence Grimshaw of Milford, Charles Warren and George Wilson of Provo and Clair C. Crane of Los Angeles. Where car clerks and others have been doubling up to do the work of call boys during the last four or five years, a full corps of the latter is being added this week, giving employment to Richard Rich-ard Heslington, Max Root and Dick Johnson, all of Milford. This Thursday morning A. C. Wilson arrived from Salt Lake to act as relay operator and, on his first shift, handled 400 messages. His employment here is taken by many as a preliminary to the sure return of a complete dispatchers force, which would mean a further additional payroll of about $1500 a month. Other new men added within the last few days include Edward McQueen Mc-Queen of Salt Lake and Frank A. Doble of Washington state as car inspectors, and Allen Carter and La Var Voorhees, both of Milford, as engine watchmen. In addition to the new men employed, em-ployed, the jobs of others have been made better by adding days to the work week. Car inspectors are given a six-day week as compared com-pared with five days heretofore while engine watchmen are now on a full 7-day shift, according to J. H. Weston, roundhouse foreman, who, from all reports, is now able to breathe a bit easily after six weeks or so that have been a veritable verit-able nightmare, due to the heavy traffic and bad weather. B. F. Wells, occupying the newly created job of assistant superin-I superin-I tendent and a man who seems to gifted with exceptional foresight I and unlimited energy, has been giving special attention to the Mil-I Mil-I ford division and it is no doubt due i in large measure to his ability to i size up a situation that the local I force has been augmented with consequent bettering of conditions j all 'round. |
