RATES AND THE RAILROADS

Among the things that will begin
to require solution before the rail
lines go far in their government
management,-if they remain in that
state, will be the % percent increase
in freight charges which was added
very soon after the government took
hold. This is an economic problem
which is going to require adjustment
at an early moment.
1t is a problem, too. Rail employees
are never going to consent to go
back to old wages without an indus
trial disturbance that will be heard
the country over. Wages cannot be
maintained as they are in normal
times. That is sure thing.
The business interests of the coun.
try are going up in great and con-
tinous howl about the increased rates
until there is a return to something
like former charges. Business is not
going to accept quietly and without
objection the additions that have been
made and as we get more and more
back to normal, the complaint about
increased rates is going to grow.
The scale of pay for employees too
is going to get a severe shaking up
when it becomes necessary in order
to help meet the reduction which
must be made in rates. 1t can hardly
be hoped that the coordination of in
terests will result in a saving which
will permit return to the pre-war
rates. II that could be realized. no
readjustment Of the wage scale would
become necessary.
The country is not going to remain
satisfied with the additions which
have been made to freight charges.
This is economically unfair and as
soon as we can removed from wal
times need of traffic, there is going
to be a rumbling of dissatisfied pub
lie SO distinct as to prove warning
to those in charge.
