7rainn'an Opposes
Wage Plan ofRoads

CHICAGO, May 27.-A warning that
complete disruption Of the railroad in
dustry may result unless a speedy and
just decision concerning the demands
Of the employees for higher wages is
made by the Railway Labor Board was
given by w. N. Doak, vice-president Of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, to-day in the hearing before the
board.
Mr. Doak attacked some of the state
ments by representatives of the rail-
roads, particularly in regard to Sunday
work and the roads request that wages
be adjusted locally in proportion to
the cost of living and with regard to
working conditions in different sec
lions. He denied that the latter plan
was a good one, saying the cost Of
living was greater in small towns
than in larger cities. The employees
do not want time and half for
Sunday work, plus time and a half
for Sunday overtime, but simple
wage Of time and half for all Sun
day work, he said.
In referring to the possible dis

more difficult every day to hold men

eve have had recently a demon
stration of protest in which hundreds
of thousands of men have left the
service to engage in other work, and
spirit of restlessness the like of
which has never been seen now pre-
walls in the transportation industry"
he said
"That has been brought about
largely by long delays. The men pre-
sented their demands for increases
year ago. Since then the cost of
living has increased from Is to 20
per cent. The buck has been passed
from one board to another.
THE situation must be met without
regard to the cost to the carriers, for
the transportation act provides that
the carriers shall receive a fair re-
turn"
In regard to the plan advocated by
the roads that wages be adjusted &C
cording to the old classification sys-
TEN, Mr.. Doak pointed out that Stats
tics gathered year ago showed that
the cost Of living in Bridgeport was
higher than in Boston, Washington,
New York or Chicago. This, he said,
proved the fallacy of paying wages
according to the classification of
yards.
He also produced a sworn statement
from a brakeman in Montana giving
an itemized table showing expenses
for himself, his wife and two children
for the first two weeks in March,
1920. These expenses amounted to

Action of New Haven

The attention of the commission was
directed to the fact that the New York
New Haven & Hartford inventory shows
a reproduction cost $124 ,000,0 600 in eX-
cess of the company's own statement OF
investment, tho Boston & Maine an ex-
cess Of $4,000 600, the Rock Island an
excess Of SAT 900, coo, the Great North
ern an excess of $34,000,0O0 and the
Big Four an excess of $4,000 900.
In a few roads, mr. Hulme's tsti-
meony showd, the reproduction cost
falls considerably short of equalline
the property inves tment figure on the
books of the carriers, but these deficits
we're more than made up by the roads
showing the higher inventory figures
These preliminary reports, Mr.. Hume
asserted, should be regarded as mini
mum figures, as in number Of cases
the carriers believed that final figures
would be- considerably largr.
Opening the case of Western rail
roads, requesting "a per cent increase
in freight rates, S. NJ. FELTON,, presd den;
of the Chicago and Great Western Rail
roads, told the commission that add
tional returns were needed by the car
riers to keep pace with business and
serve the public welfare.

Interstate Commerce Com
mission Gets Field Reports
From Experts on 81, 1853
Miles of Rails in u. S.
Plea for More Returns
Request for an Increase
in Rates Is Based ON the
Benefit to the Public

WASHINGTON. May 27.-The actual
value of the railroads Of the country
is more than $2,000,OOo,0O in excess Of
their capitalization and more than S.,
0O0,000,000 in excess of the present
aggregate market value of their stocks
and bonds, the Interstate Commerce
Commission was advised to-day.
This statement, based on the COM
pleted field reports of the government
engineering experts for 81 1853 miles Of
road in all parts of the country and
covering almost one-sixth of the total
investment in American railroads, was
made by Thomas w. Hume, of Phila-
delphia, vice-chairman of the con-
ference committee on valuation for the
carriers.
The preliminary engineering reports
of the valuation bureau of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission have been
completed for fifty Class / railroads.
These reports show the cost of repro
duction of each railroad on the basis
of 1914 costs for labor and materials.
when prices were about half what they
are o-day.
Summary Of Reports
Mr.. Hume summarized these reports
as follows:
Cost Investment on
Roads. and land carriers books
IS Eastern N,205.4o7S29 sl0l+so7, 254
- southern 366,2S8,043 335, 647 1886
IS Western -. 1872, OS6,671 1907 500
80 roads ..... 3,20S,782,543 315S,275 / 6
TIL Eastern roads in this group show
a reproduction cost Of $190,600,000 in
excess of their own property invest
ment figure. The Southern roads
show an excess of $3O,6O0,O00, while
the Western roads show a property
account of SITS, 100000 less than the
reproduction cost figure.
Hume said that the Western roads
IN the compilation were not repre-
sentative, as they did not include any
of the Older and stronger properties.
When these were included, he said,
the Western figures would undoubt-
eddy make the same favorable showing
of excess value as the Eastern roads.
1t was also pointed out By him that
in the East no figures were yet avail
able for such great properties as the
Pennsylvania and New York Central.

PRISON ENE IN
NEW HART PICTURE
MOST ELABORATE

One of the most elaborate sets
ever constructed at the William S.
Hart studio was built for The Poppy
Girls Husband a new Aircraft
production which will be shown at
the Coliseum for the last time to-
night. 1t shows three tiers of cells
in a States prison. The gloomy
corridors of the prison are admir-
ably represented with stone Tagged
passages, the iron, gratings and
platforms rising above to the roof
of the studio structure.
Each cell contains a white iron bed
and when a hundred or more men,
dressed as convicts did the lock-step
down the corridor, the effect was
highly realistic and painfully remia-
iscent to those who have visited
some of the penal institutions OF the
country.
San Francisco, the Barbary Coast
and the prison are some of the fea-
lures of the picture.

COAST TO COAST
AERIAL LINE Is
PLANNED BY u. S.
Regular Passenger Service
Between New York and
San Francisco Soon

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June IA
dirigible airship line TO engage in
regular passenger service between
New York and San Francisco is a
project in which War Department
officials would like to interest cap
t.il, with q view 10 having a fleet
of aircraft Immediately available, in
case of war, according tosProfessor
Harvey n. Davis, of Harvard Univer-
sty.
Professor Davis is engaged in ex-
pert work on helium gas for the De-
partment, and is designing a plant
TO be built at Langley Field. Va,
military lighter-than- craft may be
washed free of impurities and used
again. Estimates by Col William N.
Hensley, of the War Department, in
dictate that it will be possible for
passengesr to go by airship overland
at a cost of about five cents mile
at a speed of 6S to 10 miles an hour.
Weekly Salings Predicted
THE advent. of the airship as a
regular passenger carrier is much
nearer than any person in this coun
ny realizes" said Mr. Davis. 81
shall be surprised if the coming sum-
ner does not see a line of airships
in operation by a British firm be-
tween the United States and the
British Isles and | have no, doubt
whatever that a year from now will
see regular weekly sailings.
by the use of helium, all danger
If disaster from explosions such as
has wrecked big balloons filled with
hydrogen will be averted. There
will be no fear of the ignition of
the gas by bullets, lightning or
sparks from the engine. In fact, it is
pointed out, that the engines may be
placed inside the outer shell and
hat except for observation purposes
no car need be carried outside the
big bag"
Cheaper Gas Looked For
While the present cost of produc-
ing helium is about ten times that of
hydrogen, Professor Davis believes
that the development of it's manu-
facture will result in a cheaper pro-
duct Helium will be used to furnish
the lifting power in the $2,500000

expects to obtain from an English
