GRAFTON of the railroads-complete

promise that its adoption will bring

The plan was submitted in a bill
introduced in the house by Rep
Sims. Tennessee. ranking democrat
on the house interstate and foreign
commerce committee. and has the
approval of all the railroad brother
hoods and the American Federation
OF Labor.
The bill provides:

Would Assure Reduction.
at would assure the public reduc-
ton in rates equivalent TO any in
crease in earning power which the
employees might create for them
selves by the efficiency Of the organ
izGtion or the skill in management.
This would be the first step in solv-
ing the problem Of the high cost Of
living. as the cost of transportation
enters into the price of every COM
modify.
Protection against increased
rates. assurance of reduced rates
would inspire industry with conf
dence. would increase the purchas-

break the vicious cycle which now
exists whereby every increase i'm

the cost of production"
