The Railroads Must Grow.
(GreenNille Piedmont.) J


The railroads are all going to ask
higher freight rates to compensate
them for the Increased pay they will
have to give the train ser, ice bro
therhood men employed by them.
Everybody knew that was coming.
When Congress passed the Adamsor
act The Piedmont asserted it's effect
wonlh be to increase the freight bur-
dcns paid by the general public.
Some OF the roads say that they will
not be able to meet operating eX-
penses and fixed charges unless
granted the right to make higher
freight rates. Fairfax Harrison,
president Of the Southern Railway,
has strengthened his reputation as n
tair and square railroad executive by
his statements in an informal confer
ence with the Interstate Commerce
Commission In Washington Tuesday.
Speaking for the Southern lines, he
declared the roads OF his sc ia
wtre prosperous and would cont nue
to make money, even under pres IN
conditions, but that without all ad-
vance in rates they could not gov"
The prime need Of Southern rail
roads. he said, was capital, and this
could 4ot be obtained with earning
capacity curtailed as under present
c. nditions.
The Southern Railway, Mr.. Harri-
son said. has been running about 13
per cent over it's income Of last year.
I'VE have been making something
at that" he continued, "anh on those
figures have nothing to complain n :.
But we are now facing an increased
cost Of $6,000,000 per year in our
operating expenses. We are not here
to talk about being ruined or to talk
about disaster. but we do wish to say
that under existing conditions as now
prevail we would have to stop grow
ing If we are not granted an increase
in rates"
or course, an increase Of rates
must be paid by the ultimate con.
sumer," but he can better afford to
pay such increase than to haze the
development Of railroad facilities ar
rested This Is particularly true OF
the South.

Petrograd, March 2S.-The factory

ed by the "bosses," who had been de-
posed Or lad their authority curtail-,

In one munitions factory the dis
gruntled administration, seeing their
old berths slipping from their grasp,
decided to declare the factory on
strike. but the workmen, inspired by
the appeals of the new government
for their support, refused to walk
out.
On the contrary, they insisted that
the foremen directing the engineers
should begin work with them at day
break and put in an equal number OF
hours.
Every hour Is precious" declared
the spokesman of the workers. 1--WE
must work to support our comrades
at the front. Every man who goes
on strike will be treated rs traitor.
and we will not guarantee his
safety"
A patriotic spirit appears to have,
gripped the workmen generally, In
strong contrast to their attitude to-
ward the former regime. One group
has given assurance that the 8-hour

A Destructive Raid

Both the German and British reports OF
the great air raid of last Friday are vague.
The southeast coast" of the official British
announcement is more cldrly defined IN 70
news dispatch from "a town in Kent and
the German official statement makes it
plain that the town was Dover. One thing
is certain, that more lives were taken IN
this raid than in any other since the war
began, not excepting the great raid IN jan
uarv of last year, which extended over at
least six counties. 1t appears that there
were no Zeppelins engaged in it and that
the attack was undertaken in daylight.
Three German machines were destroyed,
but of military damage done by them we
are not told. According to the reports al
lowed to pass the censor, most of the bombs
fell Gin the shopping and residential dis
tricts." They were evidently very power
full. for it is said that they completely de-
molished the houses and small shops which
they struck"
The worst of the airship raids of which
we have any knowledge was not so de-
structive as this. On one occasion 81 per-
sons were killed and 101 hurt; on another
AZ were killed and Go hurt. On Friday
the killed numbered rs and the injured
ia. It would not be safe to conclude
that it was the most successful of all the
raids, for inasmuch as the others were at
night there were probably fewer people
out Of doors. But it was less costly to the
Germans than some of the recent excur-
sions with airships, for three airplanes are
Of less value than a single Zeppelin. The
probability is that in future we shall hear
less of Zeppelins and more of raids with
large squadrons of the smaller aircraft.

How the Railroads Are Squeezed
Orom The Philadelphia L,dger)

Urom The Philadelphia Ledger
President Res has stated that the principal
things which the Pennsylvania Railroad buys
increased in price rs per cent in two years.
The only commodity which the company sells
namely, transportation-has increased in
price not a tenth Of that. Car axles have
risen 143 per cent, steel bridge materials las
per cent. plates Pa per cent, tie plates IS
per cent and coal will this year cost Eastern
roads 70 per cent more than it did last year.
In decade the taxes paid by seven repre-.
sentative Atlantic division lines have risen
81 per cent. Wages OF labor have also risen
very much. The apparent result Of this
higher price paid for what they buy and the
nearly stationary price for what they sell
began last October to cut down heavily rail-
road operating income. In four months seven
roads received by hauling their increased
business .50,000,o00 more than they got in
that period the year previous, but so grea,
was the increase in the cos, OF handling this
large traffic that there was an actual decrease
Of 100000 in profits.
