At this institution, the work of fin
ishing marble was discontinued in
October. 1917. The shop was thor
oughly renovated and hard wood
floor laid in the building. In Novem-
Der the making of shirts was begun,
as per contract with the Reliance Mfg.
Co., Of Chicago, ILL.,. This was quite a
venture, in view of the fact that there
are SO many short time men, but it
has turned out to be very successful
undertaking. The work is much bet.
ter in every way for the men as it is
dry and clean, while the work on mar
BILE was wet, rough and dirty. There
is great deal less sickness among
the inmates and they do not wear out
the shoes nor the clothing they did
when working on the marble. The
men take very kindly to the shirt
making and are turning out about 100
dozen shirts per day. There was re-
ceived for the work of inmates on
shirts during the month. 1868.

ALL PRESIDENTS
FIRED BY NJ ADOO
Railroads of Entire Country
Will Be Run by Federal
Directors
TO EMPLOY SOME
AT LOWER SALARIES
Effort to Avoid Disrupting Any Road S
Working Organization Unnecessarily
Districts Ordered.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Every
railroad president in the United States
was relieved from active duty as exec
utive manager of his road yesterday by
Director General McAdoo, who will ap-
point federal director for each road,
responsible only to the railroad admin
istration. In many cases the president
of the road may be named federal di-
rector.
To safeguard the interests of stock
holders and maintain the individuality
of each railway, federal directors, when
ever possible, will be appointed from
among the operating officers of the prop
erty, the director general announced.
This will avoid disrupting any road IS
working organization unnecessarily.
As another step in the reorganization
of railroad management, the director
general ordered the creation of two new
operating districts-the Allegheny re-
gion, consisting of the principal trunk
lines east of Pittsburg, excluding the
New York Central, managed by c. III.
Markham, now regional director for the
Southland the Pocahontas district
consisting of the east and west trunk
lines terminating at Hampton Roads.
Regional directors for the Poeahontas
district and for the southern district
to succeed Mr.. Markham will be ap-
pointed soon.
1t was explained last night that a
large proportion of present railway
presidents will be named to manage
their own properties, particularly when
ever the president actually is the most
active operating officer, but in all these
eases the presidents will be required TO
resign their official positions with the
companies, ''and to become exclusive
representatives of the United States
railroad administration. Consequent
ly their salaries will be paid by the gov
eminent, and they can receive no paw
from the railway corporation. AS an
indication of what salaries they NAV ex-
pect, it became known last night that
most of Mr.. McAdoo's principal assis-
tants of the railroad administration will
receive more than $4,000 a year. For
most of them, this is much less than
they received as officers or executives
of railroads under private management
In this connection, it was noted that
Mr.. McAdoo as secretary of the treasury
receives the usual cabinet member 8 sal.
airy OF $4,000 a year, and is paid moth
ing as director general of railroads.
Regional directors of the railroad ad
ministration were instructed today by
Director General McAdoo to recommend
Immediately federal directors for every
railroad, to be responsible only to the
railroad administration, to replace rail-
road presidents as chief operating officers
Pending these appointments the present
managing staffs will continue in control
