NO OCCASION To
LAY OFF WORKERS
Railroads Sworn Reports to
Interstate Commerce Com
mission Reveal This, Says
Gardner.
BY gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON. April >. - That
there is no occasion for laying of
railroad employees is shown by the
sworn returns made 10 the Interstate
commerce commission by the railroads
themselves
The revenues of all raiIroads-the
net revenues-that is their revenues
above all expenses and all taxes dur
ing the past fOur-year period. COM
mencing 1910. have been greater than
for any other four-year period since
the steam engine was invented" This
statement was made in sworn testi
mOny before the commission by Cliff
ford Thorne, railway expert and
chairman Of the Iowa state railway
commission.
The fact is the railroads have de-
liberately misre presented their finan-
cial condition. They have juggled their
books. Anyone who doubts this has
only 10 look at the returns made by
the Pennsylvania railroad, one Of the
eastern lines now demanding increas-
ed rates and laying off its men. These
returns show that the Pennsylvania at
tempted TO conceal its prosperous
condition by charging off huge sums
TO renewals and depreciation" These
are items which are largely discre-
tionary with the roads.
The Pennsylvania increased it's al
lOWdnGe lOT renewals anu
of freight cars last year 33 per cent
over the previous year. said Mr..
Thorne. In the same way the allow
ance for locomotives was increased
10 per cent last year as against the
year before. This one item meant an
increase of more than $2.00O.000 Il
am not able to explain" said Mr..
Thorne, ''and. L do not claim 10 say
whether the allowance OF 1914 was too
large or the allowance of 1912 was too
small, but one of these two PROPOSE
tons must be true. Either they were
exaggerting their maintenance in 1918
or they were straving their mainten-
ance in 1912 and prior years"
While this road was concealing
assets in this fashion the increased
cost of labor was actually but TO 10
per cent. This is only a small proper
ton of the total expense. Meantime,
outstanding capital stock on which
dividends were paid was sc per cent
greater than in 1890 while their
dividends were PIP per cent greater
than in 1890 Capital stock in. 1911
was 53 per cent greater than in 1900
and dividends were 147 per cent
greater than in 1900.
Cost TO Maintain Locomotive.
The reason urged by the railroads
for higher freight rates showed that
the average annual charge for repair
ing and maintaining "A locOmtive on
railroads in this country is S3,832. A
few roads cut this to $2,709. One of
Col Cocktails recent reports shows
that in spite Of the fact that wages
are 90 per cent higher on the canal
zone and all costs are higher, the av-
erage cost of locomotive maintenance
on the Panama railroad was only
$2,1OO. The inference is clear enough
that if the railroads under private
management cannot be run efficiently,
they certainly can under government
operation as at Panama
