although at all times Mr.. Cuyler was
acllVely engaged In the affairs of the
Association of Railway Executives,
there were several occasions on which
his name came prominently before. the
public. The latest instance was af-
forded in the shopmen's strike, VIXEN the
association took decided stand against
the restoration OF seniority rights to
the strikers.
Mr.. Cuyler's death has brought sppar-
enS CONSERVATION to the ranks of rail-
road executives, where the belief was
universally expressed yesterday that II
a I. et,e
vacancy. In railroad circles 1t is con-
sdered likely that Alfred p. Thom. as
sistant chairman and general counsel of
the association. will act as temporary
chairman. A meeting. called before Mr..
Cuyler's death, will bring together the
standing committee of the Association
of Railway Executives on November 8,
at which the first steps TO dicuss pos
sible successor are expected 10 be taken.
In view Of the fact that the railroads
o. the country are competing actively
for traffic. it is considered unlikely that
a railroad executive will be called upon
to assume the leadership of the organi-
"a tion. In some quarters IL was suS-
gested that with the withdrawal of Mr..
CuyIers influence the association might
break up but nothing Of an official
nature could be ascertained concerning
this phase of the situation.
The name OF Walker ID. Hines. former
Director General OF the United States
Administration, was mentioned yester-
day in banking circles as possibility on
the theory that Mr. Hines had practical
railroad knowledge with no direct con-
nections with any carrier at the present
time Officials and bankers are re-
ticent, however, with regard to specula-
tion.
Railroad executives and bankers
throughout the financial district joined
In their expression of sorrow at the
death of Mr. Cuyler.
Samuel Rea president Of the Penn
syIvania Railroad, said His death is
a great loss not only to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Co.. but TO all the rail-
roads in the country. because of his
position as chairman of the Associa ton
OF Railway Executives and his able and
impartial supervision OF their affairs In
the most difficult period in their history.
Howard Elliott. chairman of the
Northern Pacific Railway Co., said {:
"Hls unselhsh work for all the rail-
ways during the last few years in try
ing to find living basis for them and
his tact in dealing with conflicting
views and elements we're of great value
to the country"
julius Kruttschnitt. chairman of the
Southern Pacific: He was the ablest
and best presiding officer l have ever
known"
L.'F. Loree. president OF the Della
ware & Hudson: His sudden death IS
indeed severe loss TO the railroad in
dustry''
