RAILROAD MANAGEMENT.N

Some Of the southern people are giving
/ themselves unnecessary concern about
/ the proposed merger of the southern
roads. For an practical purposes these
| roads are already merged. They have
been WORKING haI1nomously together dur
ing The past several years, and they Will
continue 10 work in THAT way whether
4 there be a merger in name or not. They
are largely owned by the same controls
ing interests, and they have been ope-
rated under TINS community OF interest

Tor the benefit of The employees, and ioi
the benetit of the general public. The

the owners. of railroads find their profit
in operating them upon business prin-
ciplcs. they have discovered that cut
1 throat competition is suicidal and results
in ultimate good to nobody, and they will
not pursue that policy again
/ some people seem to overlook the fact
] that the railroads are among our great
est and most desirable industries. They
are great 4actors IN The development OF
the country through which they pass,

The best market wages. They are able
10 do this because they charge living
rates Tor the service which they render,
and it is as much TO the interest of the
general public that this course be pur-
sued as that 1t be pursued by any other
branch OF industry. AS we'll say that
the Manufacturing industries of Virginia
and of the southern States generally
should be run at a loss to the benefit of
the people as that the railroads should
be operated at a loss. 1t is to the interest
of the pubic that these great industries
should prosper, Tor the public has Its
! share in railroad prosperity.
There is another benefit from the har-
montous operation of railroads that is
/ not to be overlooked. Shippers prefer
a uniform rate, even though it be higher,
over a cut-throat rate. So long as rates
are uniform they know how 10 make

railroads OF the South viii be operated

petition is past, and it is well for The
country that such is The fact.

CHILD LAEoR IN TIE SOUTH.


The Chattanooga Tradesrnan las been
making some Investigations on its own
account into the question of chiid-labor
in Southern cotton factories and con-
cludes that the statements that have
been sent broadcast over the land are
much exaggerated. 1t prints table, EN-
bracing reports from the thirteen South
ern States. 1t explains, however, that
but four of these that the child labor ques-
ton vitally affects, or upon which, in fact,
the question has really any special sig
nifcance. These are Georgia, Alabama,
North and South Carolina The reports
from these that we received were signed
~by the presidents or some other official
in authority, and can therefore be con-
sidered correct.
These reports show that out of 1917 mills
29s have furnished the information; and
in these, out Of 1878 employees, 1851 were
below the age of twelve. This number, 1t
is stated, is unusually large at this time,
on account Of the schools being closed,
and will be materially reduced within
few weeks.
Taking these reports as basis, the
Tradesman figures out that the whole
number of children employed in the mills
of the South does not exceed 5000, where
as the number has been yariously estl-
mated at from ten to twelve thousand.
