 The Director General announced that he expected to name railroad di- rectors for certain sections of the country to assist him in administer he had not determined how many would be appointed nor what territory each director should supervise. It is considered probable, however, that not more than six or seven will be named. MT. McAdoo said specifically that he did not plan to name State directors. Thousands of applications for posi- tons as State railroad supervisors have been received within the last few days.

This little pig went to Europe; this little pig stayed home,' but both must help win the war, That is why the United States Food Administration is urging porkless Saturday as well as a wheatless Tuesday. The prohibi- ton against pork extends to all pro- ducts of the hog, fresh or salt bacon, ham, lard and sausage, The nations we arc fighting beside in Europe must have pork. Americas supply is not keeping up with the demands made on it. But if we will save the pork" there will be enough for all of us.

ID INCREASE RATES
 ON SOME ROADS
Commerce Board Will Study Re-
 adjustment and Make Report

~ Washington, Jan. 10.-AmOng the McAdoo will have to tackle in the near future will be a general re- adjustment of the railroad rate system, involving material increases in many cases, and an impending re- quest for higher wages by nearly all classes of organized railroad labor Many pending wage disputes will be transferred to the government from railway executive boards. All these wage matters probably will be dealt with through Investigating boards.
 Officials in close touch with the rail- road situation in it's new aspects say that many rate revisions will become necessary now that government operation has removed competition on which rates heretofore have been largely based. The Interstate Com merce Commission is expected to un- dertake within a few weeks a special study of rate readjustments for pre- sentation to the director general
 The commissions attention has been called to a number of abnor- maly low rate schedules caused by competition between railroads whose rlNalrleS nave now ceased. TempOr- arily railroads have been left free to conduct their own rate questions, and since the government assumed control a number of applications for increases have been received by the Interstate Commerce Commission
 Strikes are not contem plated by any labor organizations, it is said, and wage questions will not be put up to the director general as demands. The labor leaders are represented as not seeking to take advantage of govern ment operations to press for more pay, but rather as pointing out the necessity of wage increases to keep employees from being attracted to oth- CT industries,
 Up to the present the only general demands for wage increases considered by Director General McAdoo are those presented by the four railway broth- erhoods and the Switchmen's Trnion whose president, s. F. Heberline. con- ferred with MT. McAdoo today. The brotherhoods' case will be investieat-
