THE PUBLIC MUST PAY
S-Hour Day for Railroad Men to Cost
People s6O.OOO,OOO Year.

Washington, Aug. S1.-At the hear
ing of unions and railroads before the
senate committee this afternoon Mr..
Lovett was heard first to present the
sides of the railroads. He said if the
public were not involved in the present
controversy and if there were not
thousands of railway employees not al
lied with the trainmen the parties in
volved should be allowed to settle the
matter themselves.
The railroads, he said, are no longer
owned by the bankers but have stock
widely distributed.
THE bankers of the country" said
Mr.. LOvett, "haVe not attempted to
dictate the position of the roads in
this controversy. l, myself, have only
received one message from a banker
urging that we accept the president s
proposal. The railroad officials, he
said, regard the problem as one to be
settled by arbitration, because, he
added, just as certain as the sun sets,
the public will pay the bill. Railroads
have no income except what they
earn. That depends on the rates they
can get. My understanding of this
matter is that what the men want is
an increase of wages. If congress
proposed to enact a law to make them
work only eight hours, they would be
up in arms.
Cost Public so Million a Year.
IF this burden of $6O,O0O,OOO a
year is put on the public because of
this legislation, now proposed the re-
sponsibility will be on congress, not
on the railroads.
If you put this burden upon us, we
must abide by it, but / think it would
be the greatest injustice that ever
happened in the history of this coun-
try to force this upon us, with the
hands of your men on our throats."
