During the rush uf business on the
O. .It. & K. system, the dispatcher's
office at La Grande Is having a
Mrenuous jtiine.
While there are but three regular
dispatchers who are supposed to
work eight hours each, the force Is
now divided up, and each man 1b
working 12 hours each, and the divis
ion which extends from Umatilla to
Huntington has been divided, each
dispatcher working half a division,
each way Jrom La Grande,
This change has been made neces.
sary on account of the extraordinary
business on the road. So many trains
are running' that It Is Impossible for
the dispatchers lo handle the traffic
over the entire division, and so this
temporary change of work has been
made. ,
The business shows no decline as
yet. and It Is not known how long
the rush will last.
