RAILWAY IUQUIRY
 IN WASHINGTON
Excessive Labor Costs and Work ing Conditions Chief Causes
 of Trouble.
NO CONTROL OVER EXPENSE
Prices and Wages Fixed by Govern ment Leave Little Scope for
 Arrangements.

Washington, D. C.-In testifying be- fore the Senate Committee on Inter- state Commerce in the general inves- tigation into the railroad situation, witnesses for the railroads contended that:
 CD The costs of operation are ab- normal, owing chiefly to wage scales established by the government which exceed wages paid for similar work in other industries, and to wasteful labor costs, often for work not done, en- forced upon the railroads by the so called National Agreements"
 CD That 971a cents out of every dollar of operating expenses in 1920 were at prices fixed directly by the government, or by general market con- ditions and over which the railroad homogeneous had no control
 (3) That the general business de- pression was not due to the high freight rates, but to the lack of buy. ing both here and abroad.
 One of the most striking facts brought out in the testimony present ed by the first witness, Julius Krutt- schnitt, chairman of the board of di- rectors of the Southern Pacific, was the following, in explanation of the chief reason for the increase in op- erating expenses since 1916:
 "The labor bill of the carriers in 1916 (which was before the AdamsOn law took effect) stood at $1 ,46S, ,576, ,394 In 1920 it was $3,69S, ,216,351, an in crease of $2,229, ,S39, ,957.
 'The increase by years since 1916 has been as follows:
 Increase in 1917. .$27o, sos, ,748 Increase in 1918. s74, ,331 ,2o9 Increase in 1919. ...... 229, ,315, 5,091 Increase in 1920. .... S55, ,087 ,919 or an aggregate increase
 since 1916 of. .$2, ,229, ,s39 ,057
 Exhibits were placed before the committee showing that for the rail roads of the whole country, increased expenses in 1920 over 1919 were as follows:
 Actual expenses for 1920. .s6, ,16S, ,1Ss, ,s41 Actual expenses for 1919. 4,667, ,774,131
 Inc. for 1920 over 1919 .$1, ,495, ,364, ,21o
 MT. Kruttschnitt, in showing how little conurOl the railroads had over necessary expenditures, said:
 "Sixty-four cents out of every dol lar of operating expenses were, 1920, paid out to labor, and the wages of labor are fixed by the government.
 Fifteen cents out of every dollar of operating expenses was paid for materials and supplies at prices fixed by the govern-Eapt

POINT THE WAY
The Statement of This Prescott Resident Will Interest Our
 Readers.

Our neighboring town, Prescott points the way in the words of one of its most respected citizens:
 Wm. Smith, blacksmith, Box 27O Prescott, Ariz., says: My back was so lame l could hardly move and when 1 tried to bend over to shoe a horse, sharp pains would catch me. My kidneys did not act regularly and l was often annoyed by little spots, whick seemed to float before my eyes. I was lame, stiff and sore all over when I began using Doan's Kid ney Pills. In almost no time, Doan s regulated my kidneys and made me feel like a different man.

"Three and one-half cents out of every dollar was paid for other ex- penses incurred by the government in the first two months of 1920.
 "A total, therefore, of 8212 cents out of every dollar of operating expenses for 1920 was paid out at prices direct Iy fixed by the government.
 "The remainder, up to 97Ta cents, was for materials and supplies, Pur- chased at prices fixed by general mar ket conditions and beyond the power of the railroads to control"
 To illustrate how labor costs were inflated by the National Agreements entered into during federal control fixing rules and working conditions, the following examples were cited:
 1. The Pere Marquette Railway was compelled to pay $9,364 in back pay to four employees because their titles under these agreements were changed by a decision of the Director General, while the nature of their duties and the volume of their work remained the same.
 ?. A car repairer on the Virginian Railway was paid S1,000 for work he never did. He was laid off with other employees because there was no work for him to do. When he became en- titled under his seniority rights to be re-employed, he received back pay and overtime.
 3. The Shop Crafts Agreement pro vides that when employees are re- quired to check in and out on their own time they will be paid for one hour extra. at the close of each week, no matter how few hours they may have worked, This rule in the first six months Of 1920 cost the railways $6,5O0,O0O, or st rate of $1S,OO0,O00 year.
 4. On the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail- road pieceWOrk car repairers decreas- ed 41.4 per cent and airbrake repair CTS 33.4 per cent in efficiency under a guarantee of a fixed minimum rate per hour.
 5. On the abolition of piece work on the Union Pacific Railroad in the wheel shop 2t Omaha, Nebr., the time required for the same work was in- creased 31.9 per cent and the output was cut down 24 per cent; and in coach cleaning yard at Denver the time required was increased 35.8 per cent and the output decreased 23 per cent.
 6. Southern Pacific employees, whose sole duty was to keep watch on stationary engines and to stop the engine in case anything went wrong, Were reclassified by Director General as electrical workers" one man on the Salt Lake division being given back pay of S2.381, another $2O94, another S2,009, another $2,O03, and six others amounts varying from $1,500 to $1,900.
 T. Under the present classification rules of the shop crafts. in order to change a nozzle tip in the front end Of a locomotive it is necessary to call a boiler maker and his helper to open the door, because that is boiler mak- CTS work; to call a pipeman and his helper to remove the blower pipe, because that is pipemen's work; and call a machinist and his helper to re- move the tip, because that is ma chinists' work: also for the same force to be employed for putting in the new tip.
 Questioned by Senator POindexter sIr. Kruttschritt stated that these in stances might be increased indefinite ly and were characteristic on railroad. of the country as a result of tho "Agrecaants" left over from fedora control.
