railroads already have suffered Sc
verely in the loss OF skilled and un-
skilled men. and ii will be the duty
of the newly appointed commission
to make wages and conditions of
employment attractive enough TO
hold the necessary number OF en-
ployes with the railroads.
Director General McAdoo also rec
ognizes the principle of equal pay
for the same work for women and
wipes out the color line so far as it
applies to wages and conditions OF
employment. He says:
McAdoo Pleads for Unity.
1t is my earnest hope that rail-
road officials and railroad employees
VIII realize that their relations un-
DER Federal control are not based
upon the old conditions of private
management. Dissensions and dis
appointments should be forgotten
and all should now remember that
they are not only serving theiI
country In the operation OF the rail
roads, but that upon the character
quality and loyalty OF that service
depends in large measure our sue
cess in the war"
The McAdoo order creates a board

ditions and appoints as members ot
such board J. J. Dermody, +. F.

Department Of the United States
army is reported to have taken over
the Greenhut Building, in Sixth av-
enue. between Eighteenth and Nine
teenth streets, to turn it into the
largest clearing house hospital in

tor boats to a pier in the Chelsea

lances will convey them to the hos

1t is believed that most OF the
cases sent to this hospital will be
medical and not surgical Shell
shocks. nervous complaints and
other diseases will be treated there
The building is six stories high,
with 100000 feet OF floor space.
There are twenty-three elevators
thirteen OF which are freight and

There are plenty OF windows and
a huge rotunda. All OF the ceilings
