ROADS REFUSE
INCREASED PAY
TO EMPLOYEES
TURN DOWN DEMAND OF ORGAN
iZED WORKMEN AND TURN THE
RESPONSIBILITY ENTIRELY TO
THE GOVERNMENT.
BY Associated Press.

Washington. Lee. 29.-The railroads
have definitely refused the demand
of their organized employees for forty
per cent increases in pay and have
turned the responsibility entirely to
the government.
The railway executives here today in
letting their decision be known made
no concealment Of their feeling that
government operation is a step toward
government ownership and made clear
they felt the public and the stockhold-
ers would demand 1t.
AT the same time It became known,
the railroads had refused the broth
erhoods demands, 1t was learned that
the railway workers had decided not
to press their request for a period OF
feast thirty days, or until it is seen
just what the railroad situation will
be-
One OF the plans under considera-
tion for handling railroad finances is
the formation OF a government cor
poration under the director general Of
railroads to buy and market railroad
securities.
The railroad brotherhood chiefs al
ready have assured President Wilson
that under no circumstances would
they tie up transportation while the
wage question was at Issue.
Railroad executives here today ex-
pressing their feeling that the trans
portation system never will go back
into private hands, gave two reasons:
First, they do not believe the stock
holders will agree to it with revenue
guaranteed under government opera
ton: and
Second, they belieye that the for
nation of a continental railway COM
bination will make it impossioie 10
go back to the old competitive sys-
tenn.
The corporation to handle railroad
securities probably will be provided in
legislation the president will suggest
to congress. 1t would pass on all Sc
curities proposed and would buy them
as offered, holding them for sale when
market conditions were good. The
rrobablv might - be
called on to finance railroad equip
ment. 1t has been suggested that il
might be capitalized at billion dol
lars, since that is the sum the rail-
roads estimate will be needed next
year for the purchase OF new equip
ment and for bond issues.

"STEWING TT Up"

Until the proposal to build a gov
eminent railroad in Alaska set every
body to reading about the northland,
that part of the public which lives in
the East had but a vague idea of it's
geography. To Judge from the neigh
borly requests which Eastern editors
sometimes sent to Seattle newspapers,
the impression was prevalent that the
territory was at SeattIes' back door
There was am occasional laugh i'm these
requests, but nowadays the country
knows all about Alaska However
there is some evidence that local geog-
raphy never will be entirely clear to
the East. 1t seems unlikely that the
Eastern people ever will learn as much
about the West as the West knows
about the East.-Seattle P.-I.
