Rail Executives
Expected to Take
Slash in Salaries
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 26.-n there Is
q grain of truth in the rumors flying
around railroad executive Offices re-
garding the eventual salaries which the
administration authorities plan for the
heads Of the carrier systems, q suhstan-
TALLY lower scale Of living appears In
prospect for railroad presidents.
Recently. it will be recalled, Mr..
Eastman suggested that a 50,000-a-
year salary was about all that rail
presidents were entitled to at this time
and the rail presidents thought 50
much Of the Federal co-ordinator's
views that his ideas were adopted, but
without any great amount Of publicity.
Now, according to one rail executive,
Mr. Eastman is working on a definite
consolidation plan and in his scheme
there is provision for president to
head each system at salary Of $500
a year.
1t is admitted that any such plans
are tentative but certainly the tend
ency, particularly in the rail field, Is
away from top-heavy executive salaries
and the spreading OF the pay roll over
as great number as possible.

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, August
26.-An optimistic tone was sounded
by q dozen apple distributors gathered
for a price discussion here. Fair prices
are expected, they said, because of the
short national crop, the shortage Of
good fruit locally and nationally, and
other reasons.
Grimes should bring So per barrel,
I. o. b., for the 2A inch size, available
for export, meeting U. S. grade, they
agreed.
Johnathans should bring 81 a barrel,
in the two-quarter size, and So for the
2-inch ions, they felt.
Northwestern Greetings will bring
SIPS per bushel tub for ~ Inch size in
U. s. /, they thought. One grower re-
ported having sold his entire Greening
crop for $1.25 for the biggest downward
to 80 cents, at the orchard.
There is no hurry about picking the
Greetings. The present rains win swell
them to the size wanted, for baking
apples in hotels and restaurants, and
the fruit should b. left On the tree as
long as possible. It was noted that
New York does not want white Green
ings, taken on before the yellowing
tinge shows.
It was decided that it is entirely too
early as yet to attempt to sell Yorks.
Around So for little Yorks for export
has already been offered by New York
firms, as q feeler, but no sales were
made here.
j. J. Gardener, Federal inspection
chief for this district, informed the
growers unoficially that the Martins
burg News Service will be here as usual
