The entire handling of the rail
road properties" Mr.. Lee asserted,
lis not in the hands of the govern
ment, but was left in the hands OF
men who had the power to make il
either a failure or a success. I leave
it 10 you to judge which they desired
from the public record OF the past
few weeks.
THE railroad managers can make
government operation of the rail-
roads a success or not as they please.
The congestion during this cold
weather is the result of the present
methods of the managers. More en-
gines have been permitted TO freeze
up overnight than ever before. One
new engine that had not even taken
its first run was allowed TO freeze
up over night and il took two weeks
to repair it."
Mr.. Lee called attention TO what
he called THE way the Pennsylvania
system has fallen down" in the pres
ent emergency. This road, among
railroad men, is considered the FIN
est system in the world. but recently
notOriouslv had failed, he said. This,
he said. was a matter of record in
the hands Of the interstate COM
merce commission.
ArtificiallY Increase Cost.
Referring 10 the Goethals-Adam-
son report, which showed an in
creased cost to the railroads of $6S,-
100000, he said, that he was sur
prised they had not made it $780,
100000 He cited one instance
where train crew had been called
for service but had not left the yard
before it was overtaken with 16
hours of duty. He charged that this
was an intentional act on the part
Of the railroad to artihcially in
crease the cost Of the AdamsOn law.
He said that he could cite various
instances of acts by railroads to en-
barrass the operations Of the Adam
son law as well as an intentional
failure TO cooperate with the gor-
ernment in its operation of the
roads
