A good example of one of the re.
suits of government operation Of the
railroads is seen In the case of the
Pennsylvania, the greatest railroad
system in this country. This system
handles about twelve per cent of the
freight tonnage Of the entire com
pany and fourteen per cent of the
passenger mileage On December 81
1917, the Pennsylvania had 231,60O
employees. The business handled in
1918 was not so heavy as that of
1917, but on December 81, 1918, the
number of employees had increased to
273,101. The inevitable tendency OF
government operation of any bust
ness is to increase the number of
employees. The people pay the bills,

1t will go ahead with its programme
and that it reflects the general senti-
ment among laboring men. The unions
will demand increases irrespective Of
any group of men getting together with
the employers association and issuing
an anti-strike manifesto
Tho report of the Congress commit
tee on the Borah resolution on profit
eering shows that the cost of living has
gone up from so 70 100 per cent and
ON this we can base an average OF 90
per cent. increase. The labor movement
In general has received no increase In
wages above 80 per cent. for some years
and workers are now actually getting
60 per cent. less in wages man they
resolved four years ago. Labor unions
In the future will be guided by condi-
tons and not by men who lead them
into bondage and who work hand in
