Union Pacific, subject to adjustment
of traffic details, according to the
Omaha Bee, w hich quotes President
Carl Gray of the Union Pacific.
It was not known officially whether
the Union Pacific had accepted the
proposal made In a memorandum from
the interstate commerce commission,
it was said. The proposal would leave
ownership of the Central Pacific, run­
ning from Ogden to Han Francisco,
with the Southern Pacific, hut would
guarantee satisfactory use of the line
by the Union Pacific.
By the new arrangement, Omaha
loses its chance to become the head­
quarters of a railroad reaching direct­
ly to San Francisco, as it is of one
reaching Portland and I.os Angeles.
On the other hand, it retains and ex­
tends the advantages accruing from
heavy transcontinental traffic routed
from the Pacific coast via the Central
Pacific to Ogden and thence by Union
Pacific through Omaha.
Settlement of the controversy be­
tween the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific railroads under the provisions
of the Cummins act passed by con­
gress in 1922 virtually means the inter­
pretation of that act as superseding
the Sherman antitrust act and the
supreme court decision, according to

Bee gets its information.

V O l l i GRIEVANCES
TZ3EFORE you complain, analyze
your complaint.
The chances are you will find that It
Isn't really a complaint at all.
F'or example, many men feel
aggrieved because others, doing appar-
, ently the same work, are better paid.
Watch them a while, and you are
pretty sure to find that they are either
doing more work or better work than
you are.
If they are brothers or cousins of
the boss, and are better paid for that
reason, charge that up to human na­
ture. Y'ou ure bound to run Into cast s
of that sort. They are not grievances,
but Just the ordinary facts of life
which you have got to meet.
If you are aggrieved because your
clothes cost too much, find out if you
can't get i»erfect!y pood clothes at
cheaper prices by looking somewhere
else. Nine times in ten you cun.
And anyway, if you start a little in­
vestigation lu:n your |**n*»nal »■\^iendl-
tures you will discover that you are
spending, without nny complaint what­
ever, extravagant nmounts on things
that you do not need.
There Is no denying that for most
people tlie fight for existence Is pretty
tough.
But it Isn't tougher for you tfTnn It
is for anybody else.
And all around you men are getting
into better positions, earning more
money, accomplishing important thing*
And most of them started with ex­
actly tlie same chance that you have.
Don't complain of your luck; hard
luck Isn’t n complaint. It Is necessary
discipline. It comes to everybody, and
unless you enn succeed In spite of It
you don't deserve to succeed.
Sickness. bereavement, necidents
you can't help. They are renl griev­
ances. But 0 0 per cent of your griev­
ances are only fancied.
Analyse them and see If that isn't
true.
