Walmaley A ppolnted by Nathan A. Wilcox-widower of Vice-Presl- dent Todd’s Moves to Extend The Freight “Department. The New York and New Haven Rail road Company' a staff of traveling freight agents mas last week Increased by the addition of A313. Wallmsioy, of Buffalo. who for the has: four or live years has served In a similar capacity with the New York Central Railroad Company. Mr. Waimsley’ s sphere of action is to be the Consolidated’s western dis trict, the appointment having been made by Nathan A. Wilcox, general .. freight agent for the western district and approved by Percy It. Todd the Consolidated's second vicegprosident and general freight traffic “inanager. The appointment is but another step In the company s decision to expand its freight business along such lines as seem to warrant an enlarged or changed policy and is expected. togcth . or with the innovations and improve- ments introduced by Mr. Todd. to pro- duce material results within a short period. Some of these results have. in fact. been already obtained. Despite the fact that he has been in office but a short time. Mr. Todd is said to have already impressed his railroad associates as well as freight shippers and receivers, that he is fully alive to the duties of his position and a valuable adjunct. to the Consoli- dated's executive department. The new appointee, Mr. Walmsley, comes to the New Haven road with the repu- tation of being exceptionally well qual- ified for the lines of work for which he has been secured. The company has in its employ approximately half a dozen other traveling freight agents all of whom are rated as A 1 men and the staff as now constituted is believed to compare with the best. The duties of these officials are to solicit freight and to act as sort of traveling encyclo pedius of information as to freight rates. routes, etc. for the benefit of shippers. The taking by the Consolidated from the employ of the New York Central in quick succession of Messrs. Todd. llolbrook and Waimsley. three of the Central’s most efficient men, would seem to put an effectual quietus on the stories which during the past your or so have crept into print—~purticulariy since the absorption by the New York Central of the Boston 6': Albany-of ul leged unfriendly relations and am im- pending freight war between the New York Central and the Consolidated Railroad men will know that one rail- road whlch aims to live up to it———uud all first class roads invariably do—ls such that overtures looking to the hir- lng of an employi- or official away from another road are not as a rule made without the full and friendly consent of the road by whom the man who is wanted may be employed. it may be taken for granted that this is the slate of affairs between the Consolidated and the New York Central.
