THE NEW HAVEN PAYROLL.
Over s25,ooo, ,ooo Expended by the New Haven During the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1912.
 to ss, ,2s7 Employees.

The New Haven Roads press bu- read has issued the fol1owing:
 s'The extent to which large rail- way system is an employer of labor Is shown by figures presented by Gen eral Auditor J. M. Tomlinsen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company for the year end ing June 30, 1912. These figures show that of tie $42,1O4, ,O17.7e to- tai operating expenses of the New F4a- ven Road in that fiscal year, 61.1 per cent or $25, 5,734, ,786.42 was ex- pended for salaries to S3,2S7 em- p1oyees.
 while the employment of labor IS a. necessity for the successful opera ton of a railroad, expenses for this account are considered by statisticians and economists as unremunerat1Ve. This, of course, is not strictly true, for in the last analysis the operation of a railroad is not remuneratlve business. While it may be said that a railroad, supplies and distributes a comm odity, and for this service re- ceives a compensation. the reports of the railroads of the United States show that these systems are really vast col 1eetors and distributors of money, and that a very small percentage of this money is retained by the stockhold- CTS or owners of these Companies.

According to the final plans outlined by Stefansson, it s-not unlikely that his expedition and that of Captain Roald Anundsen. discov- erer of the south pole, who will set out year later with a similar object in view, may meet in the midst Of the arctic night.

 ''In the actual operation of a train, the necessary empIoyees-that is, the enginemen, 1remen, conductors and other rainmen-constitute 20.5 per cent. of the total number of employees i of the New Haven Hoad, and they re- 1 ceive 28.9 per cent of the total amount expended for wages. The of fers of the company receive 2.3 per cent. of the total expenditures for this account.
 The railroad business, according to these figures, may well be said to be business of employment There are few lines of industry that employ such an enormous army of men and i still fewer that pay as well. And this percentage of 61.1 paid for labor last year by the New Haven is not | decreasing but is, in fact, increasing rapidly from year to year. The fire i men have recently been awarded an increase in pay and the engineers ob- tained one sometime previously. In | the five years between 1907 and 1912, 1 the increase in compensation for cer- tain classes of labor on all the roads in the United States amounted to $35,- i 160,4 or 28.6 per cent. In the same period the mileage represented increased but. 4 per cent. and gross revenues, out of which railway labor is paid, increased only 8 per cent.
 ''In a section like that through 1 which the New Haven Road operates l 33,2S7 men represent formidable ar my and are vital factor in the pros perity of that section. When it is considered that over sixty per cent. of a Cornpany's expenditures are made for the employment of labor, and that labor represents 33,287 men, and that 1 these men receive total of $25,734,- l 7S6.42 a year, and that practically all of them are residents in the section
 through which the Road operates, the place that the Railroad holds in the | life, happiness and prosperity of that section is easily understood"

President Wilson in his speech al

effable stupidity of dividing its vote
so that It's cause could not win.
Yet the president does not seem tc

duction. The Democratic party has

should avoid radical tariff reduction
They should do it in their own inter.
est, as most likely to continue them
in power. They should do so with
a view to the least possible disturb
ance Of business. and to avoid the
danger that their power might be
overthrow at the next congressional
election.
The Democrats can prolong their
hold il they stick to the lines of a
tariff revision which twenty years ago
would have been deemed radical. But
that consideration does not seem 10
be taken into account by some OF

No Star Chamber Methods on
Tariff Law.
Measure Of the Highest National I'm
port Must BE Accorded Thorough
Hearing-Great Principle
10 at Stake.

Senator Penrose has back of him
both prestige and precedent in his
attitude on the tariff bill. In TEN.
porarily defeating the attempt to jam
through the senate this measure Of
highest national import without q
hearing and with little debate, Penn.
sylvanias senator deserves commen
dalton.
There ought to be not moments
unnecessary delay in pushing this tar
III legislation. All business demands
to know just where ( it. stands an
quickly as possible, for continued
doubt is a killing factor in any kind
OF trade. But to hasten the proceed
ings OF congress does not imply de-
NAL OF the privilege OF all interests
to a fair hearing.
The new tariff law will change the
whole status of manufacturing in the
United States. II Is not intended
here to suggest that such a change
will ruin or even retard business, but
good or bad, 1t must of necessity alter
the conditions upon which American
industries rest. The Industrial world
wishes to know with all possible
speed what these new conditions will
be. but at the same time it demands
an exercise OF right to be heard.
It is certainly undemocratic to en-
act any law without giving everyone
directly affected a chance to say yes
or no. Manufacturer, laborer and
consumer-the three great parties
concerned in a tariff law-have the
right to demand an open hearing.
The Democratic senate will run
into many snag II it shall attempt
to override all precedent In denying
this right. To bar out the public and
to star chamber a tariff law upon the
statute books would be a piece Ct
folly for the party that tried 1t.
No real party advantage is at stake
In this matter one way or another,
but there is at stake very grea,
principle. American business Is sure
ly important enough to demand as 9
right a hearing on matters affecting
all business.
