Report Current in Railroad Circles
That Shakeup In Harrlman S)s
tern Not Entirely Passed.
Plana Not Made Public
SEATTLE. Wash, Oct. 4. (Special.)
J. D. Farrell. president of the O.-W.
R. N- returned today from New
York where he attended the confer
ence of tl beads of the Harrlman
system, which resulted in th shake-up
of last week.
Mr. Farrell Is preparing; to remove
his offices to Portland as soon as ha
can clear away the grist of business
that accumulated while he was In th
it He said that no announcementa
would be mad regarding the com
pany's plans to appoint his successor
in this,, city until he had held a con
ference with Vice-President J. B.
O'Brien, of Portland, and Robert Stra
horn, of Spokane.
It If current report in railroad cir
cles that th recent shake-up on the
Harrlman system is only tentative and
that further changes, probably of a
more radical nature, are contemplated.
Seattle Change Malt.
The Seattle offices may not be re
organised for several weeks, and it
will be the policy ot the new Oregon
Washington executive to continue as
strong a representation of the Harrl
man lines In Seattle as possible undetr
th new Harrlman programme of cen
trallzatlin of management.
Railroad gossip has predicted that
O'Brien will be reappointed vice-president
and general manager with head
quarters In Portland with Jurisdiction
over operating and maintenance and
that R. B. Miller will be traffic man
ager for the Harrlman system In the
Northwest with headquarters in Port
land. If this Is to be Mr. Farrells
policy he will not make the official
announcement until he bas conferred
with the two officials.
Mr. Farrell today confirmed the pre
diction mad by railroad men that
while the operating, engineering and
auditing department would be central
ised at Portland and probably the rep
resentations her would net be at
strong aa in the past the traffic de
partment will be as well represented
in Seattle as any other railroad here.
At present the Southern Pacific line
In Oregon are managed by the Oregon
Washington through Vice-President J.
O'Brien. Temporarily, at least, thia
arrangement will be continued, but the
lines do not properly fall under Presi
dent Farrell's jurisdiction, and when
the complete reorganisation of the lines
la formed San Franclaco offices will
take over the Oregon property. This
will Include the branch line projected
to Coos Bay and the road building east
ward from Klamath Falls to a juncture
with the Oregon-Washington at Bond.
Mr. Farrell did not return to Seattle
In time to attend the ceremonies at
Bend tomorrow on the completion of
Hill and Harrlman systems to that Cen
tral Oregon point. As "lce-Presldent
O'Brien could not leave Portland. Mr.
Farrell directed R. B. Miller to repre
sent the Harrlman interests, and he
took with him a big traffic delegation.
"The reorganisation of the Harrlman
lines recognises the Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific flroups," said Mr.
Farrell. We are a part of the Union
Pacific group with an Independent or
ganisation that, because of administra
tive advantages, will have headquar
ters In Portland, pust as did the old O.
K.
Lvrf Keep Head With Hlus.
"Under the new plan the headquar
ters, of the Harrlman system will be
maintained In New York. Judge Lovett
will have with him the heads of opera
tion and maintenance and the traffic
departments.
"In the Chicago office will be left
an assistant director of maintenance
and operation, an assistant traffic di
rector, a traffic attorney and the super
intendent of mail service. Chicago Is
the natural railroad center, and the
system will be strongly represented
there, wuile Mr. Lovett at New York
is able to strengthen his Eastern execu
tive offlcea by taking both Mr. Krutts
chiltt and Mr. Spence to the East.
"The remainder of the plan of the
organixatlon la that outlined in the
press dispatches. It provides for the
independent organisation of each line
with only the executive officera report
ing to New York."
