SUBSCRIPTION 50 90 YEAR
Some Plain Facts

Here are some real plain facts about
the condition of the railroads as they
are relinquished by the government
The operating expenses have been
increased by 81, 600, 900, 600 year, of
which more than $1,000, coo, 900 is in
creased cost of labor.
The government has provided only
half the required number of new freight
cars and engines. and no new passenger
cars, 50 that the owners must find the
wherewithal to buy about $500, 900, 900
worth of equipment. The government
has been unable to maintain the
road-be in good condition as they
were taken over, and the owners will
have to dig around for probably $500.
000,0 new capital to put the road
beds in condition.
Two years of political control of
wages and working conditions has IN
dermned the morale of the 1000. 900
employees, with the resulting lowered
efficiency, and 1t will probably lake
several years to get the working forces
back to normal.
Railroad rates were not increased
sufficiently by the government to meet
the great increase in operating costs,
and further considerable increase in
rates will be necessary TO make the
roads self-sustsining. The government
has passed this buck" to the private
con panies.

their conference in Washington Tues.
day that they "Woul 90 along with

the working of the new railroad law

Washington, March Virtual eli
mination of the big packers from the
meat industry and substitution of small,
local and cooperative stockyards and
slaughter houses was suggested by Ed
G. Lassater. of Texas, representing
livestock growing organizations, before
the house agriculture committee.
The, packing business is uneconomical.
he asserted, causing injury to livestock
producers and consumers. Transporta-
ton of cattle to the packing centers and
return shipment of meat to consumers
involves an economic loss, he said, which
can be eliminated only by legislation to
reduce control of the big packers and
TO foster small, cooperative agents.
Railroads Might Own Yards.
Lassater also urged separation Of
large stockyards from packer control.
The yards. he said, should not be owned
by a holding company. but by railroads.
Transfer of packers stock in the yards
to other than railroad interests, he
said, would not meet demands of the
livestock producing interests.
Independent stockyards and slaughter
ing plants cannot be developed. Mr.. Las

packers to have such a preponderant
share of business Mere size of the

he said, also should be divested Of all

witnesses who have opposed pending
legislation for packer control Mr.. Las
sater said. were borrowers from the
packers of packer banks"
Lassater charged that Herbert
Hoover. when food administrator in
1917, suppressed a report by an ad-
ministration committee justifying prices
charged for milk by dairymen's organiza-
ton. Mr.. Hoover decided, the witness
said. that public opinion was so adverse
to the dairymen that report in their
support would have an unfortunate ef-

was said by the witness to have refused
to extend the food administration S
control to cattle and other livestock,
except hogs.
Committee members objected to the
trend of the testimony saying Mr..
Hoover ought to have opportunity to
answer Lassaters charges.
Lassater charged that the big five
meat packers had broken agreements
with representatives of livestock orr

1t is expected that plan will be ar

representatives believe. will contribute,
although England's financial commit
ments of various sorts arising from the
war are greater than those of any other
nation. One of the American conferees
expresses the opinion that perhaps Ger
man sympathizers in America at least
viii make subscriptions
The question of definitely fixing
Germanv's war Identities also is being
discussed. The belief is being expressed
that the German government can organ
ize its finances and industries more eff
ficiently if the German people know
what they are to be called upon to pay.
This question was one left by the treaty

present idea seems to be that the CON

commissions hands.

The purchase and allotment of raw
materials and of food. which the confer

cessity for joint arrangement is recog-

will be given fair share in the distri-
button, in accordance with the new poll
cy of putting them on their feet.
The peace conference is reaching its
decisions more slowly than otherwise
would be the case because of the differ
