CHINA MERCHANTS S. N. CO.

REORGANISATION SCHEME NOW IN FORCE.

Shanghai, Apr. 12. Schemes for the rearganization of the affairs of the China Merchants S. N. Co, will be brought into effect to-day.

According to the plans drawn up, the Shanghai office of the company will

the be incorporated with business department of the com- pany's head office in The Bund. The head office has, in the past, devoted itself only to the control of the the company's operations and Shanghai office has been consider- ed a sort of independent depart- ment in charge of branch offices and freight and passenger trans- portation arrangements.

This has resulted in the employ ment of unnecessary men on the staff and lack of proper control, so the general management have de- cided upon this new step, which will mean that both the Shanghai office and other branches will come under the direct control of the business de- partment instead of the Shanghai, office as in the past, and that there will be a general saving.
