This amount represented an actual
loss to the railroads. These transac-
tions also represented an unneces-
sary increase in the funded debt of
the ten railroads of $9,455,952 for the
reason that if the bonds had been
placed in the open market at the
prices obtaining at the time of each
issue, the cash actually realized
could have been secured by $9,455,9

available, in addition to the dividends

capital stock, to pay any increase in

transporting the prisoners between
Russia and Germany and every pris-
oner who has made the Quincy across
has been warm in his praise of the
comforts provided for him. Each train
is in charge of Swedish surgeons and
there are especial nurses and order
lies. Each train is provided with an
operating room and whenever SER
ious is deemed necessary the train is
stopped while it is performed. The
governments of Russia and Germany
pay for the expense of the transport of
the prisoners, the Red Cross handling
all the accounts. The journey is long
one and the work of exchange is ex-
pensive. 1t is not so expensive, how
ever, as continuing to care for the
helpless prisoners.

IN DEMAND
FOR SHORT TRAINS
MADE BY UNIONS
Might Just AS Well Ask Country To
Return To Sailing Boats
And OK Carts

Washington, D. C.-To the public
that pays every dollar of the railroad
bill (and forty-fve cents of every dol
lar paid for transportation is for
wages) the leaders of the four
brotherhoods of railway employees,
who are demanding increased pay,
say: "All the railroads have to do
to meet our demands for higher
wages is to shorten their trains, move
freight more rapidly, and escape the
penalty of overtime wages
The fallacy of this statement, which
is the last-ditch argument used in
support of the demand for increased
wages, is well shown in the following
editorial which appeared in the
Washington, D. G. Times of April 10,
under the heading "A Mad Freight
Train Idea"
Everybody in the ranks of the
general public will agree with the
railway managers that the campaign
which the railway workers are wag-
ing, particularly in the west, for short
er trains, while at the same time de-
handing higher pay and fewer hours
of work, is of all possible claims the
most preposterous. Indeed, in econons-
les it Is an ideal little short of mad.
The railroads have spent hun
dreds of millions of dollars lowering
ballasting roadbeds and putting in
heavy rails, so that powerful loco
motives, larger cars, and longer trains
could be handled in one movement
If this object had not been achieved
railway wages never could have been
advanced to the point at which they
already have arrived and traffic rates
never could have been held down
where they are today without the
whole railroad system of the United
States being made financial wreck.
ANY child can see that If, after
the principal railroads of the coun-
try have been reconstructed to haul
the heavier tonnage in mass, you cut
every freight train in half, the cost
of operation must be increased stu
pendously, with two locomotives
where one now does, with two engi-
neers where one now does, with two
firemen where one now does, with
two conductors where one now does,
with virtually tive whole train crews
where one now does, not to speak of
the new S4uiPihSht anu InS uSW toL'
minal facilities that would be needed.
This proposal is not essentially
different from urging that the world
go back from the steamships of to-
day to the sail barks Of centuries
ago, from the railroads themselves
TO the stage coaches and OK carts OF
the past. II is like suggesting that
the farmer himself drive his wagon
load of produce in small lots day af.
ter day to the distant market of the
city instead Of loading It in bulk into

Hopelessly Wounded Germans
Are Exchanged For Russians

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May o.
Clad in great coats of West Point gray,
the first of the hopelessly wounded
German and Austrian prisoners of war
to come out of Russia this year, passed
through Sweden few days ago in ex-
change for the helpless and hopeless
Russians who had been sent home
from the German hospital camps. The
Austrians an dGermans were more
cheerful lot than the stolid, silent Rus
slams and seemed to have a more def
mite idea of their future life.

trian with his right leg gone and two
fearful scars on his face; am jew

The exchange of wounded prisoners
undertaken by the Swedish Red Cross
is a gigantic affair. Effective May Is
three trains running weekly in each
direction from the Finnish frontier to
the southern reaches of the Baltic can
handle but comparatively few of the
men so hopelessly used up that the
warning nations are glad to be rid of
them. Some statistician claiming to
have knowledge of the situation has
declared that with trains running daily
all the year round it would take ten
years to complete the transport of the
human mastral of war now held in
Russia and Germany.
The invalid transport trains passing
through Sweden do not come to Stock
holm and the Swedish people as a
whole see very little of the wounded
men. The nearest approach to Stock
holm is Halsberg, where the men de-
train for dinner. AS the first train
from Russia came into Halsburg the
military atache of the Austrian lega-
ton in Stockholm was at the station
The train platforms were crowded
with soldiers on crutches and with
arms torn away. 1t was pitiful to see
the poor cripples straighten up and
salute with such hands as they had
left when they caught sight of the Of
flcer in full uniform.
The attachee and representative of
the German legation distributed cigar
cites, cigars, newspapers and German
weeklies to the men on the train.
And to each an envelope was handed
with especial ceremony. These envel-
opes we're found to contain picture
postcards of Emperor William, Of
Germany, Emperor Francis Joseph, of
Austria and Field Marshal Won Hin
Genberg.
After dinner there were songs of the
Fatherland, sung with lusty German
voices. When the singing first began
the manned soldiers came hopping to
the song circle as fast as crutches and
heavy canes could help them. They
gave cheers for the emperor and stood

| CLEVELAND, O., May 22.-In a
statement issued today by the four
Railroad Brotherhood Organizations
that are concertedly demanding a
shorter work day for freight train
crews, attention is called to state
n1ents made by Railroad officials, that
roads cannot afford any increase in
train operation.
The employees challenge the SINGER
| ity of these statements and have
pointed out several in which railway
revenues could be conserved, which
are now wasted or given away.
Stockholders of railroads were ney-
er better off than they are now, and
stockholders of a good many roads
have participated in the cutting" of
a good many melons in recent
years.
During the period of 1900-1910, ten
Western railroads alone issued stock
for $3.50, 5S4,961 less than it's market
value, or practically gave away this
enormous amount in bonuses to
stockholders.
In other words, in addition to cash
dividends, together with appropria-
ticns to property and reserves for
the benefit of stockholders, the stock
holders of these ten transportation
companies had conferred upon them
in the shape of rights to subscribe for
new stock issues at less than pre-
vailing market prices, more than a
quarter of billion dollars.
From the standpoint of the financial
administration of the railroads, this
method of finance also had an added
significance. If the new stock issues
had been disposed of at market pric-
es-the prices which could have been
obtained in the open market by these
companies, if they had not given
these special bonuses to stockholders
they could have secured the same
amount of cash by an issue of $173,-
1916 less capital stock.
The Transportation companies,
therefore, lost the use of this much
capital which they could otherwise
have had, or considered from another
angle, they increased their capital
stock unnecessarily $173,122,7 96 with
out adding a dollar to the earning
capacity of their properties.
The dividends paid on these ficti-
tious stock issues in 1918 alone
amounted to $11,276,495.
The increased productive efficiency
of train crews, which largely was
responsible for the big revenue gains,
was used to pay dividend charges up
on unnecessary stock issues, which
were arbitrarily created for the ben
eft of the stockholders; and did not
represent capital actually invested in
the railroads.
During this same period of ten
years; the same ten railroads gave
away in underwriting commissions,
$9,12O,124. The total par value of fund
ed debt issued by them for cash dur
ing these years was $SS5,O16,683.
The cash proceeds were only $S41,-
326,307; the marekt value of these
bonds hawever, was $S5O,446,43 and
the excess of market value of these
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-05-22

will be little or no overtime used on
account of the eight-hour day and that
the increase in the cost IF operation
will be so slight, as to be negligible
quantity.
The employees can see no justice in
having to do increased work and put
in excessively long hours in order that
all the increased revenues should go
to the bankers and insiders"

Luke M'Luke Saws

A man is selfish critter. He hates
to see girl wearing dress cut SC
low that all the other men in the
neighborhood can see as much as he
can.
Mighty few girls can afford hand
painted hats and gowns and hand
painted shoes and stockings. But any
girl can afford hand-painted COM
plexion.
Don't let your head get swollen. II
you took 10 men who never had any
grandfathers and 10 men whose an
cestors came over in the Mayfower
and stripped them naked and turned
them into corral for 10 days you
couldn't tell the NUTS from the
thoroughbreds. And the fact is that
if you tried to select the 10 thorough
breds you would pick out the 10
NUTS.
One reason why man should al
ways think twice before he speaks is
because if he doesn't he is liable to
tell the truth. And that would never
| do.
When a man has several children
and his wife presents him with trip
let's, he gets an idea that she should
quite her kidding.
We are prepared to believe that
Johan swallowed the whale. In fact
we are prepared to believe anything.
We saw a girl wearing a petticoat
the other day.
A stuff announces that women
should get mems wages. Well, that's
easy. Why don't they get married
Some men would rather swat 1887
flies to-day than take the trouble to
land the first one they saw in the
spring.
If man put as much vim and vigor
into boosting his own business as he
does into boosting his political party
there wouldn't be many failures.
When father reflects that when he
selected a wife he had to guess how
much girl was under roomy basque
and a roomy skirt that covered three
petticoats, he figures that the young
man of to-day has cinch.
The widow always leans on the son
during the funeral of the late husband
and father. But, as a rule, the widow
has to support the son after the
funeral.
1t is none of our business. But most
of the men who chew tobacco should
| wear brown shirts.
This may be another knock. But we
never could see how dressing up like
a hackman at funeral ever added
much to mans dignity.
