Interesting, on account of the manv

headings:
First. Turned a deficit into a
surplus during the hard period of the
first six months of 1921.
Second. Reduced the tram sched-

Third. Took private cars
from operating officials.
Fourth. Handled maximum <f
1200 cars in twelve hours, when is
the maximum had been 200 in tw,

Fifth. Rejected union labor work-
ing conditions and pay scale and es-
tablished better working conditions
and higher pay scale of his own with
out recognition of the "closed shop."

in railroading today for new ideas
and that it is possible to “get along”

At its present value it would be
