labor problem, but from the first to
the last moment of government opera
ton it was conducted in such a man
ner as to tend to ALLEVIATE railway en-
ployes from private operation as a
policy. 1t resulted in wholesale di-
versions of traffic from normal chan
nels. and It will be months and years
before it is restored to those channels.
TT resulted in enormous increases
OF operating expenses. Mr., Hines in a
recent statement maintained that gov
ernment operation had been as eco
nomical as. or more economical
than, private management would have
been. That is a matter of opinion.
Under government operation railway
expenses increased $1,000. 900, 900 a
year. At any rate. government oper-
alton has left to the companies a
legacy OF enormously increased ex-
penses."

UNCLE SAINTS LEGACY.

When the government took over the
railroads it promised to return them
in as good condition as it<found item.
1t Is the contention OF the Railway
Age that this has not been done.
In commenting upon the statement
OF Walker D. Hines that the prop
critics have been returned to the COM
panies in as good condition as they
were received by the government. the
Age says:
This is certainly not correct as to
passenger equipment, because the
government never in more than two
years of government operation bought
a single passenger car. 1t can hardly
be true as to locomotives and freight
cars, because in two years of govern
ment operation the government
bought only as many locomotives and
freight cars as were required to re-
place The number ordinarily retired in
one year. The equipment may be in
as good condition in so far as repairs
can make it so as it was two years age
but the amount OF it is much more
inadequate than it was then, and nc
repairs can make an old car as good
as a new one. With regard to track
the government has not laid anywhere
near so many new rails and ties as
the companies normally did under
private operation.
Government operation" continues
the Age, has caused numerous
changes in the official personnel OF
the railways. II will be a long time
before the roads will recover from the
effects OF the disruption of their Off
cial organizations which occurred un-

picked up his paper and lighted a

Representatives of the railroads and

The $50 delegates of the 100000
members of the maintenance of way

remain with the other fourteen rail-

strike. The vote was expected to be
very close.
The result of the vote will be known

Representatives of the workers plan
to present demands for increases rang

With the bringing of more than
hundred new families to Topeka by
the Rock Island railroad the city finds
itself totally unprepared to house
them. 1t cannot say that it was mem
tally unprepared. Ever since the sign
ing Of the armistice The State Journal
has been calling attention to the lack
OF houses. This shortage, instead of
diminishing. has constantly increased.
Now the flood has arrived. Topeka
has not been alone in this matter. At
the close of the war other cities found
themselves similarly situated. In
many of them plans were made
promptly and as promptly carried out
for remedying the condition. A citi-
zen OF Oklahoma, a man of high
standing in the state, while visiting
Topeka recently. declared that there
were not less than a thousand dwell
ings under construction in the capital
of his state. In Baltimore, company
has been organized, which is putting
5000. 900, 900 into new houses. Similar
reports come from other cities. What
is the matter with Topeka?
