Schwab did two unsuual things here
to-day. He made the first speech ever
made in a drydock in dry town. And
he announced to the workmen of the
Great Lakes Engineering Company as
sembled in the drydocks that the com
pany had offered to build ships at such
low price that he had decided to pay
them more than they asked.
This evidence Of profiteering and
the additional information that the
ships the company is to build for the
Fleet Corporation will keep the yards
busy for two years more brought a
roaring affirmative response when wee,

Regional Directors
To Meet in Capital
New Managers of Roads to
Receive Greatly Re-
duced Salaries

WASHINGTON, May y22.-The rail
road administration to-day began
looking for the most able operating
officer OF each of the 200 roads un-
der government control to become
Federal director of his line to replace
the president as chief executive for
operations.
AS these officers are persuaded to
resign their official connections with
the railway company, they will be
appointed, and until then, the present
managements will continue.
Regional directors of the railroad
administration we're instructed by Di-
rector General McAdoo to recommend
Immediately Federal directors for
every railroad. The regional directors
will come to Washington soon to dis
cuss the appointments. which may be
delayed in many cases for several
months.
To Retain Many Presidents
survey of available men for these
positions indicated that many presi-
dents would be caosen for the new
positions, and consequently their com
panies would have to elect new presi-
dents.
General dismay among railway Of
ficers over Director General McAdoo's
newly announced policy was apparent
in inquiries reaching railroad admins
tration headquarters concerning the in
tent of the order.
All inquirers were told that the Di-
rector General was anxious not to dis
organize the existing railway man
agements more than necessary to in
sure a higher degree of cooperation
between the government management
and the individual roads. Practically
no officers, executives or employees who
contribute to the actual physical
operating of the roads will lose their
jobs.
Assurances Calm Officers
These assurances calmed the rail
way officers, who had feared manage
ments were to be torn up and put to-
gcther again on a new pattern. There
was still considerable speculation. how
ever, concerning the salaries to be paid
the Federal directors. and no definite
information concerning the Director
Generals intentions was Forthcoming.
1t was intimated that although the
salaries would not be gagged accord
ing to usual government standards. bv
which Cabinet members receive onlv
$4,000 year, the present salaries
OF many railway heads, ranging upward
of $50,000, would not be duplicated bv
