Breakdown in the railroad trans
portation service reached a point
early this week where it was freely
predicted that it would soon be nee
essary for the Government again to
take over the roads and operate them
to relieve the situation. Congestion
Of freight in the principal railroad
terminals is said to be as bad as dur
ing the winter of 1917, and appeals
for relief are pouring into Wash
ingtOn from manufacturers and ship
pers in all parts of the country.
Transportation Of food and fuel has
again fallen below the danger point,
and real suffering in the cities will
come unless immediate relief is
given.
The Association of Railway Exc
cutives and the American Railroad
Association have made joint appeal
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to take hold Of the freight jam
and use that body's power under a
provision of the Transportation Act
quoted above in order that necessary
food, fuel and other vital commodi-
ties may be given preference and
priority in movement. In taking this
action the private managers have
confessed their inability to operate
the railroads in a way to provide
service for the people.

on regardless Of the needs of trans
portation, with the result that cars
were moving from place to place as
empties instead Of loaded. The sec
ond and prime factor was introduced
when the railroad managers broke
off the bipartisan wage conference
in Washington. This completely dis

MEAT PACKERS HAVE
LIED TO THE PUBLIC

The big Five" Chicago meat
packers increased their profits 223
per cent during the three years of
the war, according to report by
the Federal Trade Commission
made public in Washington Satur-
day, May Is. These five COM
panies had total combined assets
of $1,30O,000,000 at beginning of
the fiscal year 1919; total com
bined net worth, that is, capital
stock and surplus, $685., 100000,
with receipts during the fiscal
year 1919 of $3,200,000,000.
The report asserts that the
packers have made a practice of
deceiving the public as to the
profits made and that the adver-
tisements of the great packers in
respect of profits per head or per
pound of beef are not based on
accepted methods of determining
costs, and accordingly no depend
ence can be placed upon them.

ayers have asked the Interstate

action exists in any part of the
country, the Commission shall
have authority at once
To suspend the operation of
rules, regardless of practices with

To make such directions with

gard to ownership of locomotives,
cars and other vehicles during
such emergency as in its opinion
will best promote the service in
the interests of the public;
To require joint use of ter

BISHOP c. D. WILLIAMS SAYS HE

adopted it,"
Discussing government ownership
Of public utilities, Bishop Williams
said he feared it, in the case of the
railroads; because politics might get
control. He favors the Plumb Plan,
not as it is now, but with a few
amendments. He approves the prin-
ciple of it.
Plumb Plan as the Coming Issue
at is a partnership between CAPT
tai, managemcL5. workers, and the
l,Dic. That IS Inc principle on
". hich cur great natural neceasi-
ties must be organized" he said. 81
believe the Plum Plan will be the
issue in 1924, with the Plumb Plan
espoused by the entire liberal ele-
ment of the country"
The great cause of the enormous
power of capital lies in the owner
ship of the earth by a compare
lively few people, Bishop Williams
believes.
at is from the earth that we
get all our wealth." said the Bishop.
The landlords of the earth can
squeeze US as they will. | know a
stenographer getting $120 month.
Her rent for a small apartment has
been increased from $40 to $50 a
month How is she going to live
on the balance"
"The other day an official of the
board of education said that, as
soon as the increased salaries and
bonuses were assured teachers, the
landlords stepped in, raised rents
and absorbed all the benefits. That
is the way ownership of land in
cities works.
"Take our big industries with
their enormous profits Those prof
it's are not altogether from produc-
ton. Those industries own natural
resources, such as coal mines, oil
wells, copper mines, water power
sites. They are landlords, owners
Of the earth. They get large part
Of their profits in the role of land
lords, not as producers. This could
be remedied by taxing the ground,
not improvements on the ground; in
other words, single tax.

the labor power of the
men taking a vacation or going out
in search of more remunerative en-
ployment, so that today man power
is the lowest in the history of
American railroading.
Reports Are All Bad
Acuteness of the railroad situa-
ton has been recognized by the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
more than a week past, and every
field agent of the commission has
been at work studying the problems
of congestion. Reports of these
agents reaching the commission in
Washington indicate the situation is
more dangerous than had even been
ina gined.
Members of the commission are OF
opinion that complete paralysis OF
the transportation system may occur
within short period unless radical
steps are taken to remedy the short
age Of labor and freer ALLEGATION OF
cars.
Too Big for Privateers
Operation of the roads under pri
vate ownership, with more than 26C
separate systems in which there is NJ
disposition to cooperate for thu
public's protection, has shown dur
ing the little more than two months
since the Federal Government return
ed the lines that railroad transporta.
ton is too big a proposition for pri
vate capacity and that the only so.
luton is public control and opera.
ton under a single system.
Private railroad managers are do
ing more today to advance the cause
of the Plumb Plan than any other
agency.
