WAGESNOT T0OH|GH
Brandeis Reason Why Rates
Should Not Advance.
HOW TO REDUCE THE EXPENSE.
Scientific Management Would Bring
Proper ResuIts-wouId Save Three
Per Cent. of Aggregate cost-steel
Rails Cost too Much.

Washington-"We contend that
rates are ample but that the expencs
of operation is excessive; that wages
are not too high, but that, as the
management is unscientific, labor,
material, equipment and plant fail to
give adequate results. We plead for
the introduction of scientific man
agement, under which the railroads
shall get 100 cents for every dollar
expended"
In opening his argument for the
shippers of the Atlantic seaboard be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission, Louis D. Brandeis, of
Boston, thus presented the funda-
mental reason, in his mind, why
freight rates should not be advanced
as proposed by the railways.
Cooperation also, in Mr.. Barn
deis' opinion, would secure reduc-
tions in the cost of steel rails, in
the price of which, he believes, an
enormous saving. could be made. He
suggested, however, that no effort
was being made by the railroads to
obtain a reduction in the price OF
steel rails because of the financial
connections of railroad officials with
the four great steel companies.
"The economies which would re-
suit if all the railroads in the United
States introduced scientific manage
ment have been estimated at mil
lion dollars a day. said Mr.. Bran,
deis. "This would result in reduc'
ing the present operating cost of the
railroads an average of 20 per cent.
Mr.. Brandeis concluded his argu'
ment with the declaration that the
railroads of the country were con
fronted with the greatest opportun'
ity of their existence to increase the
efficiency of their labor, equipment
and plants. II they should embrace
the opportunity they would make
for themselves and for the shipping
interests of the country and OF the
world. If they should not, the resalt
would be, in response to an irresist,
able popular clamor and demand, the
government ownership of railroads OF
the United States.

Capt. Peary was asked to throw
light on why, as naval officer. he
made no report to the Navy Depart

was not customary for an officer to
report on matters for which he was
detailed. Captain Peary said he had
made some report to the coast and
geodetic survey and had advised the
Navy Department of that fact. 1t
was his impression that the superin.
etendent of the survey had made a
report to the navy. Pressed by Mr..
Roberts, Captain, Peary said there was

Captain Peary, replying. to repeated
questions as to the results of his
Arctic trip, said that he had not yet
prepared such chart as would en-
able any one to follow in his foot

that he had data by which he could
prepare such a chart. He said the
position of the North Pole could be
determined lust the same as TBS

parative low altitude of the sun, which
never gets higher than % IL degrees
above the horizon. For that reason
ordinary observations could not be
relied on with accuracy.
