men ARE WELL PAID?
LAWYER FOR RAILROAD TALKS
AT HEARING IN CHICAGO.
Declares Engineers and Firemen Re-
ceive Higher Wages Than Six
Governors.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Six governors In
the United States could make more
money running a locomotive for any
western railroad than they receive for
directing the destinies of their COM
monwealths. Professors Of colleges in
many cases receive less than half what
is paid locomotive engineers and less
than firemen receive.
These were the opening points
raised by James NJ. Sheean, attorney
Tor the western railroads in the ar
bitration hearing held in the Federal
building. The engineers and firemen
closed their testimony during the AT
ternoon. Other claims made by Attor-
ney Sheean are:
That the engineers and firemen on
western railroads receive a higher
compensation than those in the Last
or South, although the latter haul
larger trains and the tractive power is
higher.
That they are paid higher wages
than any other western railroad EN-
plOy teS.
That the cost of living in the West
has not advanced as fast as the wages
of the engineers and tiremen.
That despite a large mileage and
growing traffic the western roads have
in recent years suffered immense
losses in net revenues, income, divi-
dends and surplus.
In the face of these losses the en-
gineers and firemen have asked for in
creases amounting to $40,000,000.
That the wages paid 5000 employees
of the western railroads will show the
engineers earned maximum of 3d.
725 year in the passenger service
and $3,342 in the freight service;
$1,752 for passenger firemen and ST.
$50 for freight firemen.
AS against the wages paid the en-
ginemen, governors Of six states re-
ceive $4,000 or less a year, and those
of seven other states $4,000.
Particular attention was called py
Attorney Sheean to the piecework
claim made by the enginemen in their
evidence He also objected to the
payment Of wages on the basis Of 100
miles or less, ten hours or less, for a
days work.

RuGESU. S. CONTROL
OF FOUNDATIONS
Untermyer Says Organizations
Should Have Licenses.
DO MUCH GOOD AND NO HARM
LAWYER Asserts That Labor Unions
Can Never Relieve Labor Con-
ditions-Asks Government
Regulation.

New York, Jan. 19.-Federal incor
poration for the Rockefeller founda'
ton and for other foundations en-
bowed to help humanity was advo'
Gated here by Samuel Untermyer'
famous corporation lawyer, before the
federal commission on industrial re-
lations. This commission, the chair
man of which is Frank p. Walsh OF
Missouri, has begun an ivestigation OF
the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Russeli
Sage and Baron de Hirsch foundations
to determine whether or not they
should be regulated by the United
States government, and Mr.. Untermy'
er was the first witness.
Have Great Power.
The power and importance Of these
foundations can be guarded from the
fact that they control about $3OO,ooO,'
OO0 Other recommendation by Mt.
Untermyer we're:
/. That the charters given to the
foundations by the United States gov
eminent should be limited.
2. That the size Of the foundations
should be limited.
g. That the foundations should not
be allowed to accumulate their In
come.
Mr.. Untermyer said that the
foundations were doing much goou
and no harm, but that they gave
fair example Of the evils Of the vice OF
state legislation" He declared that
the foundations were not satisfactory
wholly because they were operating
under state charters. The govern
ment he believed, should have sound
control over them and should have a
hand in the selection Of trustees to ad-
minister them.
Denies That Unions Can Help.
The labor unions, Untermyer said
can never relieve labor conditions.
What we need" he asserted, is
governmental regulation"
The witness then went into a dis
cussion of life insurance companies.
There is one company, he said, which
has 100000 pollcyholders. To hold
an election would cost half million
dollars.
Because of the cost" the witness
asserted, 1T is impossible to hold an
election at which officers could be reg
| ularly elected. OF course, as the COM
pany is a mutual organization, a pol
| icyholder can vote if he appears at
regular meetings. But nobody ex-
poets the policyholders to appear how
ever The state should be represent
ed in the management Of this concern
If t interests of all arc to be cared
for"
In reply to questions, Mr. Inter
myer said that he believed practically
all the railroads in the United States
were controlled by one or the other
of the groups Of banking houses.
Roger w. Babson, statistician, was
called at the afternoon session. He
said be believed the principal menace
to capital and labor was absentee
ownership.
1t has been my experience that
plant when the owner resides in the
same town." he said He thought that
the annual meetings of big companies
should be held at the mills and there
should be labor representatives or the
boards.

partment a protest Of the most EN-

The British representations to the
state department make it clear that
the British government will not coun-
tenance the destruction of oil interests
owned by British subjects at Tampico
