TOO MUCH PROSPERITY.
{. P. Ripley Of the Santa Fe Says En-
ployes Are Too Independent oW-
Ing to Demand for Labor.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-0ne Of the most
serious conditions this country is fac
Ing today, Is the indifference and dis
regard which the employe has for the
interests Of the employer"
This statement was made Friday by
q. P. Ripley, president of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe In telling
of the reasons which had led his COM
pany to establish pension system ar
fectlng nearly 10000 employees.
Asked for a reason for this condi-
ton, Mr.. Ripley said:
"Too much prosperity, or at least
too much business. The demand for
labor and for all classes Of the en-
ployed was never so great, and never
before did the supply fall short of the
demand. The demand has becom SO
sharp In the railway service that many
Of the employees have assumed scorn-
full independence and do not seem
to care about the interests of their
employers. The necessities of busi-
ness have compelled us to hire many
new men, who are not as competent
as the old men. Add to this the fact
that they knowfthey will have no DIFF
flculty in getting work elsewhere and
it is difficult to get them into good
shape and/to maintain a proper dis
cipline. fine Santa Fe is trying to
overcoYe this tendency TO disregard
the cdfnpany's interests by showing
the Jken that the company has their
int rests at heart"

SEBU7 NO CURE.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Finds Plenty Of Reasons for
a Car Shortage.
THE REMEDY IS NOT so EASY
Problem 10 Ono Deeper Than Mere
Lack Of Cars and Engines--ln"
wolves Every Factor In
Rallroadlnp.

Washington, Jan. S.-The causes,
but not the cure for the car shortage
IN the Northwest and the consequent
coal famine in North Dakota have
been determined by tho members OF
the interstate commerce commission
participating in the recent hearing at
Chicago and Minneapolis. Franklin
X. Lane, who served as chairman OF
tho investigating committee, Wednes-
day filed his report with the full com
mission and sent 1t to President Roose-
welt who ordered the inquiry. He
finds:
1T is a fair inference from all the
testimony that the real cause Of the
coal scarcity in North Dakota was
such an abundance Of westbound traf-
fIc at the head Of the lakes that cars
wero not available in the congested
state OF that terminal, for the carry
ing Of Coal to North Dakota-a com.
paratively short haul for low class
commodity"
In his letter Of transmission to the
President Mr. Lane says the report
will be followed In due course by the
special recommendation of the COM
mission as q whole as to whatever leg
islation, II any, may be deemed advis-
able.
Mr.. Lane, In his report, sums up
the conclusion Of the commissioners,
in the following:
"The problem is one that Is much
deeper and much broader than mere
lack Of cars and engines. 1t is one In
which is involved every factor in rail-
reading, the construction, operation,
maintenance and financing of the rail-
road. The inability Of the shipper TO
secure car may be only symptom
OF a deep seated and organic trouble
The real cause of car shortage may
lie in the too conversative character
Of the management of the road, or
In the unfitness and incompetency OF
its operating officials. 1t may flow
from an incomprehensio on the part
Of the directors of the full duty i'm
posed by law on a common carrier,
It may arise out Of policy in railroad
operation which gives primary consld-
Grafton to speculative stock operations.
It may come from an inability to Sc.
cure funds 30 to fit itself that 1t can
discharge Its duty. 1t may follow in
time of exceptional prosperity from an
increase in traffic which could not
reasonably have been anticipated. Or
Il may result from an inability ITO
secure labor and material necessary to
the proper enlarging Of the railroads
facilities.
This enumeration Of causes Is not
exhaustive. 1t could not well be COM
plete without giving consideration to
many industrial and economic factors
which at first glance would appear
remote and unrelated. Clearly, the
problem Of transportation is so close
ly interviewer with the fabric of our
commercial system and so closely re-
lated and so inter-dependent are the
various activities Of our industrial
life that one may not lightly say
what are the multitudlnous consid-
erations which necessarily enter into
% simple a question as the reason
why a railroad car is not at once
forthcoming when ordered.
