Opposes Cutting Wages as Solution Of
Railroad Problem.
New York, July 19.-There are just
three ways in which the problem now
facing the railroads of the country
may be solved, namely, increased
rates, decreased wages or increased
business. in the opinion of ]. +. Hara-
han, president Of the Illinois Central
railroad. who arrived here yesterday
on the steamer Mauritania after a
vacation trip to Europe.
James J. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railroad, is of the
opinion that the only solution of the
financial problem that confronts the
railroads is an increase in freight
rates. Mr.. Hill is strongly opposed
to a cut In wages as q means of in.
creasing the net earnings Of the rail.

Mr.. Hill, who has just returned from
a fishing trip in CANDIDA, made the fol.
lowing statement yesterday:
There is no alternative but to raise
rates. The credit of the railroads has
been seriously impaired. The way to
enhance credit is to increase rates.
Wages should not be cut. Efficient
labor is essential to successful opera
ton. Railroad employee have pecul-
lar responsibilities. They have to
meet hard test They should get fair
recompense. Cut wages 10 per cent
and the man who got SIS last week
gets $3.50 this week. It is the diff
ference between meat and no meat.
Freight rates in this country are
low beyond comparison. Receiving
but one-half and even one-third of
rates received in European countries.
