committee Of manufacturers. headed
by S. M. Vauclain, of the Baldwin

Mr.. McAdoo did not indicate
how many types of cars he believed
practicable under nationalized unit
operation, but he predicted the plan
eventually will save many millions
of dollars to the railroads. The
Standardization will not be effected

harm the business OF manufacturers
of highly specialized models of box

Another step taken by the direc-

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Indicating
approval Of increase in rural car
riers' salaries where the service
warrants it, Fourth Assistant Post
master General Blakeslee urged the
senate postoffice committee to take

masters at the smaller towns He
said they worked an average OF II
hours a day and asked that the
