Shippers Ask Hearing.
yesterday we wired MI. McAooe'
on behalf Of organizations having
combined membership Of more than
100000 shippers. asking opportun'
ity to be heard. The request was ig'
nored.
some shippers can and others can
not pass this collosa] burden on. Con-
sequently some will be grievously in
jured and others not at al.
1.-THE government has guaranteed TO
protect the railroads against all In
creases in cost of labor and supplies
SO long as the war shall last.
When you pay these increased rates
and fares, remember that you do so
II at the government can pay the Brr-
lington railroad stockholders over 20
per cent annually and that all eastern
railroads have the equivalent of a
government bond paying 10 per cent
"The whole wage increase OF $780,
100000 would be taken care of conf
pletely by an advance OF 20 per cent
in passenger fares and 5 per cent in
freight rates.
Not EnaIands Way.
"This course OF action by Mr.. Nc
Adoo is directly opposite to the policy
adopted by the British government.
Tine first wage advance there was
cared for, one-fourth by the railroads
voluntarily reducing their guaranteed
returns, the balance by the govern
ment. Every subsequent advance has
been borne by the government.
The shipper, is willing and glad to
bear his fair share of this great bur
den of the war. Any statement to the
contrary would be direct insult and
a falsehood.
The government has given an ade-
quate hearing to labor and the rail.
road stakeholder, but the shipper has
been ignored.
This is righteous criticism of
what we believe to be an unjust meth
cd Of deciding an issue involving
sSOO,oo0,000 annually, the most gi-
gantic proposition ever decided by a
single human being in the history OF
civilization.
And that man made up his mind
without consulting the fellow that
pays the bill, although he was clamor-
Ing for an opportunity to be heard.
do not believe that Mr.. McAdoo
has any conception of the disruption
in rate relationships and the disas-
trous effect that this proposal will in
evltably have on American business"
