This was thought 20 be the forerun-
ner Of similar deposition of a num-

announcement OF the plan for
wholesale replacement Of railway
presidents by federal directors came
as a general surprise at this time.
May Name Old Heads.
II was explained last night that a
large proportion of present railroad
presidents will be named 20 manage
their own properties. particularly
whenever the president actually is
the most active operating officer
but in all these cases the presidents
will be required 90 resign their Of
fetal positions with the companies
and 10 become exclusive repre-
sentatives Of the United States rail-
road administration"
Consequently their salaries will be
paid by the government. and they
can receive no pay from the rail-
way corporation. As an indication
of what salaries they may expect il
became known tonight that most
Of Mr.. McAdoo's principal assistants
Of the railroad administration will
receive not more than SIS, 900 a year.
For most Of them this is much less
than they received as officers or ex-
ecutives Of railroads under private
management In this connection il
was noticed that Mr.. McAdoo as sec
rotary OF the treasury receives the
usual cabinet members salary Of
$4,000 a year and is paid nothing
as director general OF railroads.

from his sick room at home said:

Regional Directors Responsible.
while in this way the response
hility for the operation of the prop

director general 10 accord 20 the

In the development OF this policy
the regional directors and also the
federal managers would be required
