LEE PLEADS FOR RAILROADS
Cites Flood As Instance of Need of Big Surplus
 Earnings

New York, April 5-''The entire rail- way system of Ohio and Indiana was practically put out of business for five days by the floods in the middle west. fected by this disaster will practically wipe out the surplus earnings of many railroads. In other eases, dividends will be threatened. The reason is, of course, that all such damage must be retrieved out of current earnings and cannot be charged to capital.'' The position Of some of the eastern railroads was set forth today by Eli sI1a Lee, chairman of the conference committee of arbitration under the Esrdnan act W S. Garter Tor the firemen, concluded his summary short ly before MT. Lee and addressed the board:
 .'There never was a mere striking nor more unexpected object lesson of the absolute necessity for railway company to earn a surplus to protect itsef in emergencies"
 The roads spokesman decared:
 ''The tendency is all one way-to add expense and men at every point under a plea of social betterment. AL so in this case your board is asked to grant two ffremen upon every heavy locomotive, regardless of conditions surrounding the run, regardless of the grades of the tonnage before hauled; you are asked to impose an arbitrary rule, to deprive the railway manager of any discretion and to forcib1y add unnecessary expenses to our payrolls. :"
 Railwaymen should be and are well paid, MT. Lee held, but should not through organization, through threats. of interference with the proper trans por4tation of the peoples products, through 1egis1atfon, through other various means" exact a scale of wages "disproportionate to that in other lines of employment for sinni- lar energy''
 Whatever increases the board grant ed, he concluded, must be paid by the public.
