attention to movement of coal and food.
Unes of the went and south were noti-
fied that anon they might be cslled on
to furnish locomotives and other equip-
mentt to help lighten the trarrtc burden
In the cat and a committee or govern-
ment official was created to work out
a plan ro. inverting export freight to
porta other than New York. Quantities
of coal were started moving to New
England in relieve the serious slmrtaae
there and priority orders ere suspended
for roads east of the Mississippi and
north or the Ohio river to the extent
necessary to clear up congestion.

To Consider Increase la Pay.
The quesiion of Increased pay for rail
road employes will be taken up soon by
Mr. McAdoo but he ssld today lie had
given little thought to wage and did not
know what hta attitude would be. Head

the director general Thureday it his In-
vitation and probably will urgfe that with
the scarcity of railroad Isbor it will be
necessary to pay higher wage to retain
men. Many adviser of the director gen-
eral d vocal Increasing wages partlcu-
larly for many unorganiied classes.
The federil board or mediation and
co. 'dilation will continue to pass on wage
disputes now pending. It was announced
after a conference of the board with Mr
Klctdoo hot eventually tin- director proh-
ably will handle wage questions directly.
The government's attitude toward wage
changes will not be determined until the
problems of speeding up transportation
are threshed out.
Mr. McAdoo limited his comments on the
