Didn't Draft Executives.
Because of the temporary character
of the work" he said, considerable
expense is involved for assistants who
quarters at Washington, New York,
!
time maintain homes elsewhere
The co-ordinator also has found it
necessary to secure the assistance of
men with a high degree of skill and
experience and of recognized standing
in railroad work. but has not thought
it wise to attempt to draft the serv-
ices of executives of the larger railroads
who might afford to serve the Govern
ment regardless of compensation. The
reasons are obvious. Salaries have been
affected by these and other considera-
! tions.
/ "As a matter of interest many sal
! aries of $25,000 and more we're paid
by the United States Railroad Admin
istration when it operated the rail-
roads during the World War, the maxi
mum being $4,000"
| Many of Eastman's assistants will
receive salaries in excess Of that re
ceived by himself, which is $780, taking
| into account the Is per cent Federal
salary cut
