! has been mainly due to controversies
over wages and conditions of employ
nent. All wage questions having now
been referred to a government com
mission. the main cause of friction
| has been removed for the period Of
the war. :.
When in the past the operating Of
ficerS have tried to increase efficiency,
many employees have been luke-warm
because. whether with good ground or
not. they have felt that increased eff
ficiency would mean fewer Jobs for
employees and more profits for the
company. No employee can now have
any such reason for refusing to CO.
operate in all efforts to increase eff
fciency. No company now can get
as many men as it needs No IN
crease in efficiency will now add to

railways net earnings are, its owners
will get the same amount of money.
Every increase in efficiency will bene-
fit the public. and it alone 1t viii

freight and passengers to be hauled
for commercial and military purpose.

by reducing the deficit or increasing
the surplus the government viii have
after paying the companies the
amounts guaranteed them.
There never was in the past-and
let us hope there never will be again

the people OF the United States need
