RAILROAD PAY WILL
 REMAIN SAME AFTER WAR AS AT PRESENT
RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION NOW PLANS NO REDUCTION EITHER IN WAGES PAID NOR IN PAssEN- GER AND FREIGHT TARIFFS CHARGED
CRv Revlew Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-The rail road administration plans no reduction in railroad employees wages under peace conditions, and likewise no ma terial lowering of freight and pas senger rates, 1t was stated authOri- tatively today. Both are likely to re- main at their present levels, although with many readjustments, during the period of changing the nation from war to peace.
 Even with recent advances, railroad wages now are not as high as those paid for similar service in war in dustries, it was declared. and conse- quently railroad administration off. cials feel that there is no war bonus to be taken off the wages of rail em- ployes. Events of the last week have caused a pronounced movement of men from war industries to the rail roads, where they are insured greater permanency of employment, officials said. Many of these, particularly. la borers. will lbe given work on the railroads delayed program of i'm proVements, which have been held up mainly because of lack of laborss
 Director General McAdoo has de clared that he would lower rates as soon as it was determined revenues would be sufficient to pay wage in creases and the higher cost of ma terials, supplies and other tSnspOrta. tiOn elements. IL was explained to- day, however. that the time when this would be possible is not yet in sight.
