NO SHORTAGE OF RAILROAD OFFICIALS

The Southern Pacific Railroad Company had charge
of the program of the Home Industry luncheon at the
Palace hotel in San Francisco recently and the principal
speakers were E. o. Mccormick vlcepresdent ana gen.
eral manager Of the company and Benjamin lde Wheeler
president of the University OF California. MI NC
Coick spoke the great scope OF work now beng car
red on by the company and Of the plans to foster further
cooperation between the corporation and the general
public Among other things he said the Southern Pacific
company paying $4,000 day to It's 4oooo employees
in the state The sum of $4,000 is considerable one
especially to be passed out daily for abor but amounts
to only two dollars day to each On the other hand the
Railway Employees Journal presents another view OF the
cOmpanys expenditure well those OF other railroad
companies This railway journal says there are 225 rail
road presidents in the United States who are each PAID
$4,000 year. There 225 assistant presidents VINO
are paid each $4,000 year. The presidents are paid at
the rate of $242 daily counting working days at 3lO TO
the year. and the assistants pair 500 day There are
5 general managers who paid $4,000 year or Sl6O
day. Here are 675 men being paid by the railroads
S1O485O day or $4,000 daily more than the 10000
Vice President Mccormick pointed to as samples OF rail-
road activities and generosity These 225 railroad pres
idents paid primarily by the roads but actually by the
peope salary equal to that Of the president OF the
United States Do they earn it? Is it worth as much TO
manage a railroad as to manage the United States?
The same authority says there are other of1cers
around railroad headquarters whose salaries aggregate
$4,000 000 and the grand total is O00O00 year pao
as an overhead charge by the railroads OF this country
1t looks to a common, every day man, as though hall
the salaries above mentioned would be gladly accepted by
the men now holding the positions and this would make
the railroads to build enough to take of the
business of the country and the general public is OF the
opinion that the money would be much more prohtaby
spent in that way instead of paying such salaries to rail-
road officials
The same old General Public is also firmly of the opn
ion that it would rather suffer the Inconvenience due to
shortage of railroad presidents than those arising from
shortage of cars. If law could be passed that the
salaries of the principal railroad officials could not be paid
so long as car shortage existed would ever hear
of such thing as car shortage again
