One OF the worst enemies The rail.
road man has is the one who advise.
him to strike and tie up the business
of the country. When the raiIroa,
men have good case they always win
it by fair methods The use Of brute
force to put over their demands will
soon kill the goose that iayssthe gol-
den eggs" for them. There is a limit
to what the goose can do, but a lot OF
Bolshevists do not seem to .ompre-
bend this fact, The public pays all
the costs and the public will reyolr ore
OF these days. Only ~ per cent of
| The population OF the United States is
| employed on railroads. About a5 per
cent is dependent in some mea SIRE on
the railroads continuing in operation
They are public utilities and should re
kept running at all hazards and i IS
low a cost as the application Of reas-
enable economy will permit
The Plumb plan proposes that the
government buy the railroads and urn
them over to the employees, etc.
When the government buys anything,
where does 1t get the money!?
From the people, by selling bonds or
by taxation.
The railroads would cost more bill
lions than we raised to buy liberty
bonds. How do you think the people
would respond If we attempted to sell
bonds for this purpose like we did in
the liberty loan campaigns? Do YOU
think they would buy, knowing the
object and the enormous interest
charges they must meet each year Just
to satisfy for a few months the de-
mands of one per cent of our popula- |
ton? OF course not I
Another plan is to have the u s. |
Interstate Commerce Commission make |
rate which would insure return of /
per cent to the roads. Another .'rat
1ole" for the money of the great com
non people. The sky would be the
INIT on freight and passenger rates.
Demands for increased wages would
De granted whenever made, and the
loie would be filled by raising the
ates paid by the public for service,
\ majority of the railroads of the
United States are running at a loss
low. Even in the best days under
rivate management the most efficient
perators have found 1t difficult TO
how a profit year after year. Very
ew of the lines earn as much as six
er cent on the common stock; and
ne old time abuses OF ver-capitaIiza-
on were stopped by the government ,
ears ago. Under the competition of
riHatc ownership the freight and !
assenger rates were kept down. These
re facts that can not be disputed. u
What is needed is a reasonable {
mount of government regulation,
aving the railroad field open for pri- q
lte enterprise. Private capital will h
lid railroads where they are needed
I'd when they are needed, if fair re- o
rms appear to be possible.

President says it is impossible to grant
the big advance on a wage scale al
ready very high, because cost of living
IS temporarily and abnormally high.
When this has been reduced, as it will
be within few months, the scale Of
wages will be 9, high as to require
further increases in freight and pas
senger rates. We all know what hap
pens when wages are reduced That
nearly always results in a strike These
'shopmen would never consent to ii de-
acrssse in wages. So the best thing to
dc is to fight it ont now.
