BALTIMORE, Nov 23.-Unless their

proved working conditions are granted

and agents employed on railroads all
over tn. country will leave their posi-

threatening the walkout vas taken at
a meeting held here last Wednesday
night, attended by 500 members Of the
order employed on the Pennsylvania,
Baltimore & Ohio, Western Maryland,
Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac
and Washington terminal railroads.
The same authority declared that
similar action was taken at meetings
of the order held in every section o.
the country during the last week.
Resolutions were passed by these
meetings, it was said. which will be
transmitted to Director General of
Railroads McAdoo, setting forth the
dissatisfaction of the employees with
present conditions. WHICH they de-
clare were not improved by the con-
C ,ssions announced by the railroad

Marshall. Mr. untermyer refused to
deny or affirm the report, but friends
of Mr.. McAdoo were inclined to doubt
1t. Mr.. Untermyer has been identified
for long time as counsel for the Ma
tional Association of the Owners of
Railroad Securities, which fought per-
sistently with Mr. McAdoo over tho
railroad contract under which the gov
eminent operates the roads, and which
has just launched campaign to get
the railroads promptly restored to pri-
waite management.
The possibility of Mr. McAdoo's
starting career as banker was fire.
quently discussed, and his name was
mentioned in connection with the pres
idency of one of the large trust com
panies.
Not few Of the bankers believed
that McAdoos forthcoming withdrawal
has a political significance, pointing
out that the advocates of private opera
tion of the railroads are about to wage
a relentless campaign against the Rail
Grad Administration and that the fut-
ure of government operation is to be
charged more with criticism than with
glory.
Praise From Wickersham
81 was sorry to hear of McAdoo's
resignation" said George w. Wicker
sham. "lle is an extremely able Of
tclal and it will be difficult matter
to fill his place. do not believe there
is single individual who will be able
to carry ON the work so acceptably
handled by Mr.. McAdoo. T. am quite
certain it will have to be divided
among two or more MEN"
10, Ir,,.t i
cey NJ Dcpew saidt
sons assigned by Mr.. McAdoo for his
resignation are conclusive AT the
same time, all familiar with the nail
way situation and with his administra-
ton viii regret deeply his ceasing to
DC director general.
he official attitude toward the rail
roads has been for years that their
expenditures could be increased with
out limit by increase of wages and
other expenses, and that it was not
necessary to increase rates to enable
them to meet these burdens
MIR. McAdoo saw the necessity of
gradual increase of wages He knew
that the only scarce of revenue was
from rates, so he increased rates to
meet the burden and the problem was
solved
Wall Street had no special candidate
to offer for the Sccretaryship of the
Treasury, although there was some
feeling that John Shelton Williams,
Controller of the Currency, would be
unacceptable. Most financial and rail
road men thought a separate man ought
to be chosen as Director General of
the Railroads. A. II. Smith, former
president of the New York Central
Lines, and regional director in this dis
trlct, was favorably mentioned for this
post.
