to the railroads Is estimated at $500.
000,0 00 This is exclusive of the esti-
mated deficit of 100000 600 in govern
ment operation of the railroads this
year, as result of which Director
General McAdoo contemplates ad-
vancing passenger rates at least 2i2
per cent and freight rates possibly as
much as Is per cent.
Based on Living Cost.
The scheme of wage advances adopt
ed is based on an inquiry into the
cost Of living, which the commission
found has increased approximately 40
per cent to the average railroad en-
ployee receiving $50 a month
The commission favefs shorter
average workday, presumably eight
hours, but decided that ii the war
emergency the nation cor not afford
to put into effect a reform that would
slow down the war machinery and
discriminate against other classes of
workers being called upon for great
sacrifices.
Rates of overtime pay are not dis
turbed and the increases are adjusted
TO the mileage basis of compensation
of some employees, road engineer,
for example, receiving an increase of
114 per cent In his mileage rate. A
scheme of applying the increases to
piece work and overtime therefor is
also provided.
An important feature of the report
was the recommendation that where
the same service is rendered the pay
shall be the same, without discrimina
ton as to sex or race.
Report of Commission.
The report of the commission, con-
sisting of Franklin X. Lane, secretary
of the interior; Charles c. MeChord,
]. Harry Covington, and William Il.
Wilcox, is an exhaustive one. In part
the report says:
1.-The requests which have come to
us for wage increases, would, if fully
granted, involve an additional outlay
in wages of somewhat over 81 100000
600 per year in excess of the wage fund
of last year, which exceeded $1,000.
000.0 900. Some asked for an increase
of 100 per cent in their pay, and from
this they graduated downward TO 10
per cent. None were satisfied with
their present wages.
An unprecedented call had come for
men of certain trades In connection
with the new industries that had been
created by the war in Europe, and this
long before our entry into the conflict.
Machinists and iron workers of all
kinds found themselves to be essential
to the great munition plants and day
labor of the most unskilled character
rose into high demand.
Cut Off Those Not Needed.
THE commission recommends that
during the period of government con-
duet of the railroads no salaries paid
to officials who are not essential to
the operation of the roads shall be
charged as part of the operating ex-
penses.
There should be constituted trf-
bunal or tribunals to continue the

Mr.. McAdoo is expected to adopt
only part of the recommendations and
probably will make a number of diff
ferent alignments in deciding what
wage increases shall be granted.
In general, the director general ad-
vocates higher pay for most classes of
workmen to enable them to meet in
creased living costs. but he has been
represented as favoring propertionate-
~ larger increases for some classes
than for others now making the same

granting wage increases which might
