RAILROADS ON WAR BASIS

hAlbfNOADo ON WAN bAolo
There is no longer any question as
70 who's running the railroads.
Whatever doubt may have existed
sA that score has been dispelled by
Director McAdoo's blanket dismissal
of all the president-managers.
Apparently there will still be
railroad presidents; but their func-
tions will be restricted. The presi-
dent. responsible to his directors
and stockholders. will not direct the
physical operation OF his railroad.
That important duty will be attend
ed to by some practical railroad man
appointed expressly by the federal
director, and responsible solely to
the government he represents.
The thing aimed at is. of course.
greater Capitalization and efficiency.
Most Of the president-managers. no
doubt. have cooperated Loyalty with
the government But some OF them
have failed to do so, and the easiest
way out of the difficulty seemed to
- general clearance and recon-
struction. The presidents with ex-
ceptional managerial ability will be
appointed to run their lines. IL they

erwise other men, the best obtain
able, taken from their own organiza-
lions II possible, will replace them.
The general result seems certain
TO be good. The railroads have been
unified, are rapidly being systema-
tfzed, and are going to be run with
m iron hand for the national bene-
fit. though without injustice to their
owners. They will soon be on a war
basis.
