A Promotion

Mr. D. M. Philbin has been appointed general superintendent
of the DSS&A, the appointment taking effect today. The office
has been long vacant, its duties having been performed by
assistant superintendent A. M. Sutherland,

By this appointment Mr. Philbin is promoted from the office
of superintendent of ore docks, a promotion justly deserved,
for, in his former capacity, that gentleman has displayed un-
usual ability in handling large numbers of men, securing the
best and greatest amount of work. General Manager Fitch is a
keen discerner of men's qualifications and in his many wise
appointments, there have been none better than the recent ap-
pointment of D. M. Philbin to the general superintendency.
