RAIL HEADS HAVE TROUBLES.
Presidents of Short Roads Air Trou-

Chicago, Nov. 16.--The trials OF
railroad presidents who preside over
| the destinies Of the Country's short
lines are coming to light in the hear
| ings being given here to more than
| 100 short lines whose employees have
| petitioned the United States Railway
! Labor Board for Increased pay.
| One Texas road. built primarily to
open up q route to some mineral
deposit beds, has to date the cham
pion hard luck tale. according to G..
w. w. Hanger, member of The board.
/ The president of the line explained
he owned fOrty-Onc miles of track
| between two terminal cities. His fast
passenger train covered the ditance
| In two hours.
| But between the two cities is a
! hard surfaced hi@hwoy. and enter
i prieing auto owners have opened a
bus line. The highway, on n direct
route, is little mo"" than twenty
miles long, coroDarNd to the railroads
forty y-one" The al'to bus covers the
! distance in forty minutes, one hour
and twenty minutes faster than the
| train. and charges the same fare.
The freight out look he described as
equally bad. 4 company operating
motor trucks with two trailers to the
truck hauls freight over the high
way faster than the road can by
train, delivers the goods at the mer-
chants store door, and charges the
same tariff as the railroad. And on
| ton of his other troubles it is now
| estimated that the mineral deposits
which furnish The main remaining
source of revenue will be exhausted
| within three years.
! The president OF an Alabama
short line whose. principal source of
revenue is hauling ore to Birming-
| ham furnaces appeared to defend his
! company against six employees, all
station agents. who had requested
more money. Their present income is
| $95 a month.
The railroad president exhibited a
| personal knowledge of the affairs of
! each of his employees. One Of the
| station agents, he said, owned a
| country store a few rods from the
! railroad station and had run his
| telegraph wire into the store so he
! could handle his duties as dispatch
| er and operator while waiting on
! customers. a second was described as
! the wife of a prosperous farmer. She
| had her telegraph line in the farm
! kitchen. the president said. OF the
| six operators only one was located
! in a town. and that was a village of
! 500 population. The president said
| his road paid no dividends and oper-
| Hearing of the more than 100 short
! line cases. each of which is being
taken up separately, is expected to
