~MHATEvEK YOU WANT TO Know"

Government control of the railroads
Sc almost certain to result in one OF
two things. Either it will be followed
by government ownership or the roads
will be returned to their present own
ers at the end of the war and freed
from the influences which brought
many of them to the verge of ruin and
has prevented the progress of others.
There is need of cooperation and
not antagonism, between government
authority and private interests, for
the benefit of all concerned. lesson
81 for this may be learned rather than
one for complete government control.
and it is possible that there may be
progress in railroad administration
and service under supervised corpcr-
ate direction which will be of great
moment to both the investing public
and the public that is served by ira MS
portation facilities. The corporations
will continue to do the work. Their
officers and employees will perform
their accustomed duties. All rights
and powers may be restored when the
emergency requirements are passed.
Financial conditions for them may be
better than before this experience was
entered upon.

MEDIATION WINS!
Dept of LabOr's Services In
vOked in pa Labor Cases.
Settlement Fails in Only 6
While 80 Are Pending.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Mediation of
trade disp ties by Representatives of the
department of labor has been success
full in keeping at work thousands of
men whose labor is vital to the war
program, according to a report cover
ing th&last three months made public
today by the department. Insistence
on a continuance of work during
negotiations has caused a minimum of
loss in the output of factories affected
by THE disputes.
In three months ended December
81, the departments good Offices were
invoked in 244 cases, including III
strikes, 104 controversies and % lock-
outs. Mediators settled 1873 amicably
and failed to settle only six. Local
agencies adjusted IS cases before the
departments mediators arrived There
remain pending 50 cases of recent
origin.
The total number of workers directly
involved in the disputes of three
months was 10000, while 251,7O6
more were affected indirectly and
would have been thrown out of work
had the difficulties of the others not
been settled.

BIG SERVICE FLAGS.

Recent reports from American
railroads indicate that approximately
10000 men have left railway service
to join the colors," says the Railway
Age. Inquiries addressed to all lines,
100 miles in length or over, brought
replies from 119 railroads with COM
bined operated mileage of 201.0S1, or
about II per cent of the mileage of the
country. These roads reported that
54,3S1 officers and employees had
joined the armed forces of the United
States since the declaration of war. of
whom lar received commissions.
1t is not unreasonable TO assume,
says the Age, that the remaining rail-
roads of the country have supplied the
army and navy with a proportionate
number of men. At the rate at which
employees of the 119 lines volunteered
or were drafted, the number for the
remaining carriers should approx
mate 10 900, making the total number
of railway men in army or navy serv-
ice over 10000, or nearly per cent
of all the railroad employees in the
United States.

tionally heavy contributors to the ma
