SIR HENRY W. THORNTON B;i \FA Service .MONTREAL, Oct. 11. —A former American draftsman, born in Lo transport, Ind., is showing the British Empire how to run its railroads. Having finished his work as director of England's Great Eastern system, he has come here to take charge of the Canadian National Railways covering 22,000 miles of line from coast to coast and representing an Investment by the public and the government of more than $1,500,000,000. He now is Sir Henry W. Thornton, K. B. E.. commander of the Legion of Honor of France, officer of the Order of Leopold of the Belgians, a holder of the Distinguished Service Medal conferred by tljie American Government and numerous other awards. But titles and knighthood haven’t affected his democratic, business like American manner which has carried him on to success. Made Good on First Job On graduation from the University of Pennsylvania in 1894, Thornton went out looking for a job. He didn’t find one until the winter. When he got it. he decided to hold on to it. By industry he rose from his work at the draftsman’s dpsk to an executive position on the Cleveland & Marietta Railway. In 1911 he was made general manger of the Long Island Railroad. He organized the electric tram service and had much to do with the opening of the Pennsylvania station in New Tork. His success won recognition. In ; April. 1914. he was called to England j as general manager of the Great Eastern Railway, which handles the largest passenger traffic in the world. Before he had enough time to get settled In his new position the war broke out. But Thornton was ready. His railway became one of the most important military lines of communication. His straightforwardness and, friendliness made friends for him ev- j erywhere. He enjoyed the confidence j of labor as well as that of the owners j of the lines. Big Work Before Him He was sent over to France as assistant director general of movements of railways. Before the end of the : next year he was in charge of army ] transportation on the continent. in 1919 he became a British subject. He is now tackling one of his gest jobs. On his work depends the success of government ownership and operation of railways in Canada.
