East Side Druggist
Was Not Arrested

The Tribune printed on August 81
last short news item, one paragraph
of which stated that David Kaplan, an
East Side druggist, appeared before
United States Commissioner Hitchcock
on charge of violating $500 bail by con-
tinuing the sale of drugs.
1t has been brought to the attention
Of The Tribune that David Kaplan, who
conducts a drug store at 436 Cherry
Street, was not the druggist referred to
in the article and that he was nor the
person who appeared before Commits
sioner Hitchcock. The place of busi-
ness of the person who was summoned
before the Commissioner under the
name of David Kaplan was on the Wes,
Side of the city and not on the East
Side. AS a matter of fact, it was
learned later the person summoned
spelled his surname "Caplan."

This organization at Washington

He can say what ought to be done, the
council can plan the way to do it, and
as practical railway men they can

which is to use the railways of the

W cipalities have been united
IA unified and we have the United
states Railway of America as another

Autocracy, pure and simple.
Before the railways were unified they

me member. Hale Holden, president
d the Burlington, as his sportation

New-York tribune., 1918-02-09
Administration Doing
Great Work in Great Way

Take the great labor problem. The
national railway administration is
graphing with it now, once and for all.
There are to be no railway strikes
while the war lasts. Mr.. McAdoo has
appointed a commission to settle the
matter of wages defnitively. This
commission consists of Franklin K.
Lane, Secretary of the Interior;
Charles C. McChord, of the Interstate
Commerce COMMISSIONS; J. Harry Gov
ington, chief justice of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, and
William r. Wilcox. of New York. chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee in the last campaign.
1t is estimated that this commission
will probably add about $500, 600 to
the railways payroll. Here, again. the
railway administration is pointing the
way. We have been at war about a
year and the labor compensation prob
lem is still one of civil war, chiefly
because it has been nobody's business
to grapple with it in general and
conclusive wartime way.
1t is a little early to attempt to pass
final Judgment but it will be reassur-
ing to the public to know that so far
the national railway administration
seems to be doing a great work in a
great way.

The general operating committee,

,srture of the Railways War Board,
sss permitted to die along with its
sYent. This committee had done such
sotable work at Pittsburgh, as the op-
erating head of all Eastern railways,
without any legal powers, that it was
generally believed that Mr.. McAdoo
would retain it in that capacity. He
let il go. however, but retained the
sub-committees it had created. In its
place he appointed A. II. Smith, presi-
dent OF the New York Central, as re-
sonal director Of the Eastern rail-
roads.
Later Mr.. McAdoo appointed r. II.
A. lshton, president of the Northwestern,
as director CT the roads wes. of the
Mississippi, and c. H. Markham, presl-
den. Of the Illinois Central, as regional
director of the Southeastern lines. Mr..
