Show ONE-MAN POWER IS DOOMED NOW Railronds Have Found That It Has Been a Complete Failure. FOU soveral years past concentration has been the feature of railroading and in many instances one man has been put in charge of such vast Interests that he has been unable to give the proper attention to each property prop-erty as If he were on the ground. The combination of capital in Lhe consolidation consoli-dation of Vast railroad lines was followed fol-lowed by the placing of all the lines under the management of one man for different departments and in severul Instances this has proved a dire failure. Jt hns been demonstrated that the man on the ground Is the one to whom should be referred the Important n,ue.c-llons n,ue.c-llons and a high official sitting In Baltimore Bal-timore cannot possibly handle the question of Oklahoma wool rates as ably as the man who Is In charge of that matter in Oklahoma. All tho big systems have been going In for this one man power, but in almost every case It hns been found that In one way or another all does not run as smoothly as might be desired, and for this reason the plan Is doomed to an early death when the owners will be glad to return to the good old method of having men right in the field, with their coats off, working all the time for the best Interests Inter-ests of the company. |
