CANADIAN RAILWAY MANAGER. Sir Henry Thornton, manager of the Canadian National Railways, will soon be Canada’s highest paid executive. The Canadian Government is raising his salary to £20,000 annually. Sir Henry was born in the U.S.A. in 1871, and became a naturalised British subject subsequent to his appointment as general manager of the Great Eastern Railway in England in 1914. Ho was Inspector-General of Transportation during the war and was made chairman of the Canadian National Railways in 1922, converting a huge deficit into a handsome profit within two or three years.
