BALDWIN ASSUMES
RAILROAD CONTROL
Becomes Federal Regional d.
rector of All Lines in
This District A
EFFICIENCY HIS SLOGAN

Efficiency. and continuation of the
policies established by my predecessor
Mr.. Markham"
Thus concisely. Leroy W. Baldwin,
who today assumed Office as regional di
rector Of railroads here. defined his aim'
and policies.
Carrying into execution the idea Of
efficiency, Mr.. Baldwin had not been
one hour in charge at the Broad street
Station Offices of the regional director
before he began to relieve the freight car
shortage that is such crying evil in
the eyes of Philadelphia merchants and
shippers.
The new regional director gives the
impression of man with plenty OF
time. Rut he let's the caller understand
that the time on his hands is to be
utilized in doing things. lie is a rail-
road man. experienced by official con :
ncction with the Central Railroad OF
Georaia. and the Illinois Central. not
to mention connection with a southern
region of the United States railroad
administration. before he came TO this
city as assistant TO Regional Director
Markham.
Long contact with figures. schedules
and statistics usually makes railroad
executives resemble the Gradgrind
rather than the Taplcy. But Mr.. Bald
win today was new in the position. he
admitted and his countenance was as
chubby and rosy as the cheeks OF the
ample which bears bis family name.
"Eficiency." he answered, when
asked what his chief policy would be.
Then nfter a slight pause. good nature
overcame business training.
"T shall aim for efficiency first ot
all" he said. "and after that ] mean
IN carry out the policies established here
by Mr.. Markham. 7 do not see at
present any reason to make changes 10
the way the Office has been conducted.
II is too early to take up the question.
But above all I mean TO maintain
efficiency. That is about all I can say
now. and ! think it covers, my entire
policy.
With a view to co ordinating the ef-
forts of tho shippers and the railroads
of Philadelphia in relieving. 20 far as
possib'c. tho seriousness of the freight
car situation. Mr.. baldwin announcct
the appointment Of a committee of opc-
rating officials of the three railroads
entering Philadelphia. whose entire tint
will be devoted TO this work.
The committee consists of X. j.
Cleavc. ccting assistant to the general
manager. Pennsylvania Railroad. who
will be its chairman. The other mem =
bcrs are G. A. Reach, assistant general
superintendent. Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway. and o. II. II. Edmonds,
commercial agent, Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.
In accordance with Mr.. Baldwin's 4
policy. the members of this committee
will work in close touch with the ship
ping interests of the city.
The keynote of the work of the com
mittee will be to increase the supply
of cars by using them to their capacity
and reducing to minimum the time
they are idle.
G. II, Markham. whom Mr.. Baldwin
succeeds. resigned to return to his OLE
position as president of the Illinois
Central Railroad in Chicago.
