or general manager of the lines East
can be filled. but Il has not leaked out
whether any slate has been made up
by the board. Mr.. Atterbury was made
general manager from the position of
general superintendent of motive pow

the American Car and Foundry Com

imense orders to follow, as the Argen-
tine Government works out its present
plans for the spending of $600,O0O,OOO
