PAGE TWO REALLY STANDARDIZING THI RAILWAY FREIGHT CARS 1 McAdoo Names Committee to Pe- A via velop Plans Ulilch He Expects C. to Spell Economy. "Washington, Feb. 18.?Develop- Fc raent of plans for standard types of Ttare railroad freight cars was assigned sepai by Director General McAdoo to a lengt committee of manufacturers, headed flyinj by S. M. Vauclain, of the Baldwin Woii Locomotive works, with instructions fon < iu rwuuiiiicnu epeuiK'aiiUDS ior n comparatively few types which can lTnit? be manufactured In quantities at L. \N cost far less than under the present w'ho uystem of special orders. Ange This is the first definite move- L,onR ment of (he director general in his ki< projected program of extensive int<> standardization of cars, locomotives Tuesi and other supplies and materials, as base a means of effecting economy under LI< government operation. |Another years committee will be named soon to four work out standards for engines, and party some of these standards will be earth adopted by John Skelton Williams, arriv director of finance and purchases for the r the railroad administration. the s< Mr. McAdoo did not indicate badly bow many types of cars he believed nefttb practicable under nationalized unit operation, but he predicted the plan NOP eventually will save many millions , of dollars to the railroads. The standardization will not be effected so suddenly, he explained, as to barm the business of manufacturers of highly specialized models of box 1,1 and hopper cars. Another step taken by the direc nr rpnpral In thn nrMniration a' government management was the yor(jf appointment of W. H Phasants. of ^ New York, to supervise operation of ^ r<i all coastwise and great lakes ship- ^ ping lines controlled by railroads. an(j 1( Among the lines which will be un- . },ag ^ der Mr. Pleasants' supervision are|8aja the Old Dominion.

More than st()IV 5,000,000 bushels of corn alone have \\ het heen hauled to primary markets of the middle west this year as a result (j)e , of the order of priority for box cars vorce for grain movement. In the same -n ( period last year only 2,7 7 2.000 ( bushels were moved. I PARTIAL APPROVAL OF INCREASE IN SALARIES child my presi lllakeslee Favors Higher Pay for i,irth Rural Carriers "Where Ser- thre< vice Warrants It." boys in a Washington, Feb. 18.?Indicating scvei approval of increase in rural car- your riers' salaries where the service an(* warrants it, Fourth Assistant Post- Unci master General Blakeslee urged the F< senate postofflce committee to take ! marl into consideration time, mileage and was amount of mall handled in arriving at a basis of pay. The present systern of basing pay in mileage only, he said, resulted iij inequalities. J H. H. Collins, secretary of the National Association of Third and |>n.? Fourth Class postmasters, asked the committee to grant more pay to post- ? masters at the smaller towns. He said they worked an average of 14 hours a day and asked that the minimum for fourth class postmas- V ters be increased from $200 to $300 Wilt a year, and for third class $400 to deat $5u0 a year, with percentage in- sadc creases on the amount of business Spri done. jgrar Senator Swanson suggested tha11 v# if these raises were granted, it 8ent might be found so unprofitable to "Hit operate many of the smaller offlceB that they would be abolished. ?i for i forn The Constipation Evil ^ There is no ailment to which the \jrH body is subject that is so far reaching ' In its injurious effects as constipation. rour It means a congestion of the bowels her and usually causes sick headache, pains in the back, sour stomach, sallow complexion, offensive breath or lose of appetite.
