Kalispell reports that director McAdoo orders railroads to stop cutting the famed G-tie. The Somers mill, long the exclusive producer of the three cornered tie designed by the late J J Hill, will now produce only standard 9 by 9 by 8 foot ties. The shift affects the New York Central Gulf lines and other carriers as the square tie gains prominence.
