MAKES REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
His Management Untanges Huge Eastern Freight Blockade
Efficiency and Economy Replacing Managers
Wild Disorder

car of 1875 miles, equal to total of
1,754,805 car miles.
Freight cars and locomotives are
being standardized. 1t is estimated
that there were 2,023 different styles
of freight cars and almost as many
different descriptions of locomotives
when the government took charge.
The lack of Standardization increased
the difficulties of repair when the
cars were on foreign" roads. Parts
were not interchangeable and often
had to be telegraphed for. The
railroad administration has ordered
100000 standard freight cars and
| ,43O locomotives.
The railroad administration has
established fire protection section
and carries its own insurance, in
stead of giving the business to pri-
vate insurance companies.
Wages have been advanced for all
employees and the basic eight-hour
day established. Women are paid
the same as men where they do the
same kind of work and no discrim-
ination against negro employees is
permitted.
Plans for the compensation of in
jured employees or the dependents OF
employees who may be killed are be-
ing considered. The Director Gen
eral also expresses the hope that sit
may also be possible to arrange for
the retirement of employees upon pen
sionson at given age, as well as
to provide for their purchase of life,
health and old-age insurance at rea-
sonable rates."
The Director General closes his re-
port with this testimonial to his as
sociates:
"Officials and employees have work.
ed with such loyalty and zeal to ac-
complish what has already been done
that it is genuine pleasure to
make acknowledgement of their
splendid work. 1t is a constant sat
isfaction to be associated with them.
You can rely upon their patriotic
enthusiasm and alacrity in the work
of winning the war, in which they,
as we'll as the soldiers at the front,
have enlisted with such laudable de-
termination and patriotism"

ECONOMIC EQUALITY
FOR WOMEN ON SAME
BASIS AS FOR MEN

WASHINGTON, Sept, 1O.-Should
the minimum wage for women be
computed for the support of wo-
man alone, while the minimum for
men as computed for a family of
five? This question, says the Ma
tioral Women's Trade Union League,
is one which must be faced in con-
nection with the cost-of-living sur
vey which has just been undertaken
by the U. S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
The figures sought, according to
the official announcement, are need
ed by the National War Labor
Board and all other wage adjust
ment boards because every claim for
higher wages in thsee days is based
on the increased cost of living. Will
the adjustment boards, the women
workers are asking, revise their
method and compute for women and
men on the same basis, now espe-
cially as the draft proceeds and wo-
men are rapidly becoming the chief
or almost the sole support of their
families?
"Wage fixing for women as usual
ly done," says the Women's Trade
Union League, "is not our idea of
square deal. 1t collides right off
with the principle of equal pay for
equal work. But, principle and theory
aside for the moment, the straight
fact is that most women wage earn
ers. Just like most men wage earn
ers, have other people besides them
selves to look after. Only the few,
relatively, like the few detached men,
have themselves alone to consider.
"Time and again Investigations
have proved this. In the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing at Washing
ton, where the women workers come
from families who have lived for
years in the vicinity, the percentage
who have dependents is 70. In one
of the recent cases that came before

cording to Miss Marie l.. Obenauer,
chief of the Division of Women Ex-
aminers, out of $50 women's bud

was found to have nobody but her
self to look after. Taking the en-.
tire plant, with thousands of work
ers, is only % per cent of the cases

MAKE THE GERMAN
COLONIES FREE
BY HOLDING THEM

To be consistent it is the duty of
the Allies to retain possession of the
German colonies after the war. The
democratic nations have declared
they are fighting for the freedom OF
the world. therefore the peoples in
habiting German colonies should be
lifted to plane of freedom rather
than again degraded to a condition OF
serfdom under a despotic govern
ment.
Germany's misrule differs little
from Turkish misrule of the un-
happy peoples falling under the iron
hand of these two despotic govern
ments and in the name of humanity
ought to be given the helping hand
of democracy.
The Portland Journal thus treats
the subject
"The reason why the world should
not give her colonies back to Ger
MANY is exemplified and strengthened
by the contrast between Belgium and
Mesopotamia. The Germans have
been ruling Belgium for four years.
The British won parts of Mesopo-
tama, including Bagdad, from the
Turk some months ago.
"The principal aim of the Ger
mans in Belgium has been to extort
war indemnities and punitive levies
from the poverty of the people. Their
exactions have brought famine on
the whole country. Industry is par
alyzed. Crops have failed. Farms
lie untitled.
"If Belgium were not fed from
the United States the inhabitants
would starve. 1t has been sus-
pected that the German government
wants them to starve in order to
make room for a colony of good
e-steppers. Contrast this sit
uation with that of Mesopotamia un-
der British rule.
"Bagdad has been cleared of its
age-long filth, modernized and made
sanitary. A great system of irriga'
ton canals has been partly finished
and water brought upon the land
which thus becomes richly productive

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 16.-
"To those who are MANNED IN her
service, whether in the military or
the industrial army, the country
must extend not merely the pro-
lection of disability compensation
but also the helping hand of rehabil-
itation through measures that will,
as far as possible, restore the Grip
ple to normal life and useful self
sustaining occupation"
This declaration was made by
John Mitchell, Chairman of the New
York Industrial Commission and
member of the Executive Committee
of the American Association for La
Dor Legislation, in an address to-
day at the fifth biennial meeting
of the National Conference of Cath
oic Charities, urging the prompt
passage of legislation in Congress to
extend the scope of the new voca-
tional rehabilitation act for soldiers
and sailors, so as to include also
the disabled victims of industrial ac
cidents.
"The need for vocational rehabili-
tation of crippled industrial workers
is great" said Mr.. Mitchell. at
IS not only pressing wartime need
hut it is far greater permanent
need than the work for reclaiming
military ciipples. War is accen-
tuating the necessity of conserving
and utilizing every possible ounce
f labor power. There are in the
United States at the present time
at least 100000 victims of industrial
injuries calling to us for this kind
# training to make them again
productive members of society and
open again to them the door of self
support, self-respect and opportun-
itv. And this number of permanent
ly incapacitated is increasing at the
startling rate of 1880 every year.
"Official estimates based upon
the experience of Canada, our neigh
bcr to the north, indicate that only
about one per cent of the men sent
overseas will be affected by the new
