GEORGE F. HAWKS IS
VIcE.PRESIDENT OF THE
SOUTHWESTERN SYSTEM

In big circles the promotion of
General Manager Hawks to the vice
presidency of the El Paso G. South
western System, with supervision
over all operations, is taken to mean
still further extension Of the Phelps
Dodge policy of making each one of
their corporations an instrument for
the building up of local interests in
the southwest, where they operate,
and of permitting each separate COR
poration a wide range of movement
in working for its particular inter-
ests, without regard for other Phelps
Dodge interests except as they may
be part of the general community.
In other words, the El Paso 4 South
western railroad shows no other
Phelps corporation any fav-
ors, ask none, treating all interests
exactly the same in every way. Mr..
Hawks has for long time been re-
cognized as the chief advocate of the
policy, and under his administration
it has often been said by the heads
of other corporations of the Phelps
Dodge group that It was easier for
an individual to get a concession
from the FL Paso < Southwestern
than for any one of them.
Promotion Is Merited
This promotion, while fully de-
served because of the excellent rail
roading record made during the long
years of service by Mr.. Hawks is
very naturally understood to mean
that the Phelps Dodge Corporation
is satisfied with its broad and ad-
vanced policies and will continue
them. to the recognized advantage
of the sections in which they oper-
ate. This policy is of particular ad-
vantage to the small industries and
individuals developing natural re-
sources Of the sections reached by
the lines of the railroad system
While congratulating Mr.. Hawks
the people of the southwest can also
