The Plight of the Railroads.

For two or three years now the train
men have been picking at the rail
way companies for shorter hours and
an increase of pay. The propaganda
has become such a furore that the
steam in the boiler is now about ready
to bubble over and the transportation
companies find themselves seriously
up against the most intense problem
of their cooperative existence. In fact
they are facing a crisis the economic
significance of which has never been
approached since wheels began to turn
on iron rails. Four hundred thousand
earnest men skilled in the trade of
operating trains are practically unit
in demanding show down at this time
and it looks as if the public were
standing upon frightful chasm of in
ternal dissension bordering upon
cataclysm.
The railroads owe themselves
good trouncing for their utter foolish
ness during the past half cantury
last Ollt Vi lHtll UeeuS TdlIlHR
over and the only solution of their
present difficulties is in squeezing the
water out of their, abnormal stock
issues. 1t does seem that the ultimate
destiny of all the great railroad con-
Germs in the country is the reorganiza-
tion through a receivership or through
a voluntary retirement or cancellation
of the major portions of their huge
Indebtedness. There are statesmen
who can see nothing but government
ownership as the punitive outcome for
all the things the railroad magnates
have been doing to us. This constant
ly progressive increase of indebted
ness must inevitably spell disaster
sooner or later, without regard to the
wage rate of are employees.
No man and no corporation big or
little can conduct busines upon borrow
ed money forever. especially when the
amount of the Indebtedness is con.
tinually increasing and more than
keeping pace with the extension of the
business. But this has been the course
of railway finance in the United States
with only two or three exceptions ever
since the day of railway consolidation
began. Their incomes have increased
out OF all proportion to the incomes of
the average bushes corporation; yet
they are always behind. always bor-
rowing money. always increasing their
capitalization, always staving off the
final day with which they must be
confronted, because of a policy that
essentially spells ultimate ruin.
The railways are today practically
in default to the amount OF a billion
dollars-an enormous amount of secur-
tiles, an outlandish Indebtedness
brought about primarily by their over
Issuance of watered stock. 1t is near
ly as much as the interest bearing in
debtedness of the United States and it
of way to squeeze money out of the
pockets of the people for the benefit
of the bloated stockholder who toll
not, neither do they spin, but who are
always reaching out for their pounds
of flesh. Those who. are responsible
for all this pump handling are decidedly
up against it and the best way out of
their dilemma is to be square for the
first time of their lives with the public
and get out of the scrape as best they
can.-Field and Farm
