" templated. i (By Associated Pre.) Washington, D.CJan. 10. Higher wages will be asked of the railroad administration soon by nearly all classes of organized railroad labor. It was learned today that many pending wage disputes will be trans ferred to the government from rail way executive boards, and in qther cases new demands will be formu lated for presentation to Director General McAdoo, who probably will deal with them through investigating boards. Strikes are not contemplated by any organization, it is said and wage questions will not be put up to the director general as demands. Railroad labor leaders are represented as not seeking to take advantage of gov ernment operation to press for more pay, but rather as pointing out the necessity of wage increases to keep employes from being attracted to other industries. The director general announced to night that he expected to nar je rail road directors for certain sections of the country to assist him in adminis tering government operation, bat said he had not determined how many would be appointed nor what territory each director should super vise. Mr. McAdoo said specifically that he did not plan to name state directors.
