The government in its operation of the
railroads continues to pile up a deficit,
assisted by continually increasing wages
to employees already overpaid. The final
result is not difficult to see if this condi-
ton continues and will probably be in the
form of another increase in rates. The
general public has already had a safety
of government operation. Its realization
of the beauties of government control
will increase with increased rates.

Report Defends Bakers
Contract Settlements

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Represent-
ative Garrett, Democrat, of Tennessee,
minority member of the special sub
committee investigating ordnance ex-
penditures in the War Department, to-
day filed report answering charges
made by Representative Graham, Re-
publican, of Illinois, in q majority re-
port issued several days ago, which
asserted "settlements of war contracts
by the War Department, in some in
stances, seem to have been obviously
tainted with fraud"
More than 1000 claims have been
settled by the War Department since
the armistice, Representative Garrett
estimated.
These claims and the settlements
aggregate millions of dollars" his re-
port continued, "and nearly 5000 re-
manned to be settled. The majority re-
port cites the cases of eight contract
ors, and without giving the details of
a single settlement of any one of these
eight makes a request that Secretary
Baker review the thousands of settle
ments already made"
Passage of the resolution introduced
by Chairman Graham, requesting re-
view of all settlements, Mr. Garrett
said, was wholly unnecessary" and
would be construed as reflection upon
the integrity of that branch of the
War Department which has been en-
gagged for more than year In settle
ments Of war claims.
