Sound Suggestions
(From the New York Tribuno).

The Unemployment Conference
has made several notable, common
sense recommendation regarding
the railroads. The railroad situation
Is a cause of unemployment. since
most OF the carriers, just beginning
to make ends meet, have not been
able to go into the markets as pur-
chasers, and also have been Obliged
to cut down their operating staffs.
The conference advocates the
prompt passage OF the Winslow
bill. settling the governments in
debtedness to the railroads and pro-
viding them with funds for long-de-
layed betterments. 1t favors the re-
peal OF the Adamson eight-hour law
the first step in the process Of
pyramiding railroad labor costs. It
further suggests the abolition of the
Railroad Labor Board and the trans
fer OF Its functions to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The separation Of control over
rates and control over wages Is one
OF the great defects OF tho Esch-
Cummins law. Rates and wage
scales are interrelated 1t is con-
trary to all principles of sound man
agement to have ono government
agency regulating railroad income
and another agency regulating rail-
road outgo. neither OF these agencies
being required to take note even Of
the work OF the other. Power over

VICTORY NOTE REDEMPTION.

1T IS apparent to discerning Wllmingonans. that IL
will cost the government virtually nothing to refund
such OF the Victory Notes outstanding when they
mature on May 10, 1923.
The Treasury now is borrowing money short-term
certificates at Ave per cent and there is tremendous
demand for the securities
As successive issues offered it is probable that fur
iher reductions in the interest rate will be made and in
nineteen months when the Victory Notes mature the rate
will approximate the average OF the two classes OF
notes
The total amount outstanding is about four and
quarter billions, OF which about one-nfth bears interest
at three and threequarter per cent and the balance
four and three-quarter per cent
The Treasury will be able to meet those obligations
out OF receipts. refundIng operation must be
resorted to.
It is fortunate that the issue OF securities will not
put heavier interest burden the government Than II
