Work more
Produce more
SAGE more

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms. mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products.
Railroads are now near the peak OF their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion-more en-
gines, more cars. more tracks. more ter
minals-there can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep tight on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow Of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and so increase production
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.

Unemployment in

BY JOHN STEELE.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire
London, Dec. l9.-Thc govern
nent is being stirred to action by
the growing gravity OF the unem-
ploymept problem and the small but
active revolutionary element is TAX
ing advantage of the situation to
stir up trouble.
The Socialist Daily Herald prints
every day ON its first page intems
showing the extravagant luxury OF the
rich, as contrasted with the suffering
of the poor. The revolutionary
weeklies, of which there are three
or four published. regularly and
frankly incite violence.
The government has announced
that it will propose definite scheme
at a meeting with building trades
delegates on Monday, and it will!
refuse TO consent any longer to
trade union obstacles in the finding
of work for unskilled men. The
London members OF parliament will
meet next Wednesday to discuss the
situation in London, and they served
notice on DR., Mcnamara. the labor
minister, that they would like his
attendance.
Business men are beginning to
express strong disapproval of the
policy of doing out money to the
unemployed for doing nothing, and
they arc urging the government to
take such action as will stimulate
trade, which vii bring all end to
unemployment. One group has even
suggested that a subsidy to employ
crs, enabling. them to sndersell otlier
nations in the export market, would
be better than such doles.
There is no doubt. in the belief
of the government, that much un-
employment is due to the action OF
the unions, in insisting on wartime
wages. which has resulted in the
loss of contract after contract. A
few days ago $2,500,000 railroad
ccntrac, for a British dominion
went to Germany because that coun-
try was able to make lower price.
IT was announced that a British
shipping company Cancelled an order
for two l6,000-ton ships at Clyde
because the high price of labor is
making it more profitable to buy
secondhand tonnage.
