SECRETARY BAKERS STATEMENT

Secretary Baker had his innings yesterday in the
hearing before the senate military committee, and in a
carefully prepared statement he outlined some of the
important things that have been done by the American
government during the past year in preparation for war.
The list OF accomplishments given in the statement
- an impressive one. The United States has achieved
wonders. Within nine months after the formal begin
ming OF war we have one and a half million men in the
held or in training. and all but a handful Of these have
been taken from civil life during these nine onths with
out seriously disturbing our industrial activities. We
have an army Of substantial size in France. ARMED and
squipped for service. In these and other ways We have
done what no other nation has ever done in equal time
All of this is very satisfactory and very gratifying.
And yet it leaves something to be desired. We have
@done much. very much. That, we have made mistakes
goes without saying; and no fair minded person will be
disposed to deal otherwise tAan generously and lenient-
~ with the mistakes which were the natural accompan-
samenf OF the launching Of the nation upon strange
waters. Mistakes were inevitable and those who made
them must not be judged harshly. But some Of our
glapsses can scarcely be classed under the hSAd sof mis-.
sHtskss.S 4 has been shown pretty clearly that both in the
aordnance department and in the quartermaster8 depart
SrnehtS there have bsens delays and omissions which were
due either to negligence or incapacity. That: fact has
been recognized and steps have 1T length been taken

Railroad Ferryman Gives Figures Be
fore Wage Con1mission-Little
Spent for Entertainment

WASHINGTON, Feb 23.-Requests
by employees that the railroad wage
commission recommend time and n half
for overtime as a penalty for work be-
yond eight hours was answered by
r. f. Potter, assistant to the gen.
eral manager of the Minneapolis, st.
Paul & Sault Ste Marie, with the as
sertion that such n proposal was unfair
and impracticable.
Mr.. Potter told the commission both
the management and the employees
agreed that it was impossible to run
railroad without some overtime, be
cause many delays were beyond the
control of either side
1.-The railroads have not granted
time and half for overtime, = Potter
declared, "because it does not repre-
sent proportionate increase in labor
for the money expended and because il
| is inconsistent for men working on a
double standard of pay like train crews
who figure their wages on a basis of
| either hours or miles. =
| Overtime work was said to be caused
more frequently by delays, during
which the employees were idle, 40 that
the overtime did not mean q great
drain on their physical strength.
