INFLUENCES At WORK. 81


LIKE Henderson, he believes there
rying on the task OF democratizing
kaiserism in Germany. He urged
American support of those influences
and wishes them God-speed in their
undertaking.
Gompers expressed the belief that
''there are those in Germany who I'M
derstand this issue between the prin-
ciples of power and the principles OF
freedom"
Citing the words of President Wilson
as his authority. he declared that only
upon the foundation of thoroughly
democratized and de-Prussianized
Germany "can lasting peaces founded
upon mutual respect and justice, be ne
gotiated between the peoples Of all
countries"
Gompers' statement to the United
Press was made following announce
ment Of his war policies by the rank
and file of American organized labor
in convention for the first time since
war was declared.
AGAINST KAisERlsM.
I'm official statements dealing with
son has made 1t plain that the war Is
not against the German people," said
Gompers, but against the imperial
government dominated by kaiserism.
THE German people. and particu-
larly the German workers, are not ade-
qnately represented In that govern
ment, nor are they accorded oppor-
tunities or agencies for the expression
of their will.
I'VE feel sure that il the German
people were untrammeled and could
expires stheir true nature, that the
policies of the German government
would be fundamentally changed
I'VE feel that democracy is the only
true basis for relations between men,
whether national or international.
ISSUE UNDERSTOOD.
There are in Germany those who
understand this issue between the
principles of power and the principles
of freedom and it is our heartfelt
hope that faithful leaders Of humanity
may do their work with such wisdom
and effectiveness as to democratize
German political institutions, making
!, them responsive to the will of the Ger
man people made free.
when the people of Germany are in
control of their own destinies no one
will more quickly extend the hand of
fraternity than Americas workers.
Then a lasting peace, founded on
mutual respect and justice can be ne
gotiated between the peoples of all
countries"

CAR SHORTAGE DECREASING

New York, January 22-The freight
car shortage which in November was
becoming increasingly serious has de-
creased almost so per cent since that
time according to the figures for jan
uary l, 1917, which the American Rail-
way Association makes public today.
On November there was a shortage
of 114,90S freight cars; on December
/ it was 1O7,77S and on December 81
it had fallen to 59,S92 cars.
This decrease in the car shortage is
attributed more than anything else to
the cooperative efforts of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, shippers
and the railroads. The latter for the
past two months have had a special
committee of the American Railway
Association to deal with the subject
Emergency measures have been adopt
ed to meet the abnormal situation, and
progress has been made in getting
cars out of the congested districts in
to the territory where they are most
needed
The Association makes public a
statement showing car shortages and
SURPRISES for the ten years ending
January 1, 1917.
These figures show that for the
whole period of nearly nine years pre-
ceding the middle of August this year,
there had~been a continuous net sur
plusage of cars not in use on Ameri-
can railroads except for about one
month in 1909, three months in 1912,
one month in 1918 and the month of
March last year
In 1909 the maximum net surplusage
was 332,5l3. In 1910 the maximum
was nearly $4,000 for July 6, and
there was throughout that year net
surplusage of at least 1000 cars not
rcquisitioned by shippers. For 1911
surplus cars numbered on March. Is
over 100000 and there were at nc
time during the year less than 10000
cars standing idle.
In January, 1912, there was a net
surplusage of approximately 10000
From November 1913 until March
1916, there was a continuous surplu.
sage of cars, the number running in
October, 1914, to over 100000 when
The American Railway Association
stopped compiling them. Complication
was resumed on February 1, 1915
when idle cars still numbered ovel
$4,000.
The number of freight cars owned
by the railroads of the country in.
creased during that same eight year.
from 100000 on July /, 1907, to O.,
