THE WAY TO GET WELL"

The victim of tuberculosis of the lungs is
-sually convinced that he is not so seriously i'll
IS he really is. That is why so many such suf-
erers neglect their condition until the disease
as gained such headway that medical skill is
often unavailing.
Years ago the medical profession believed
hat consumption was incurable
Both were wrong. We know now that prompt
md sensible treatment and care can and does cure
tuberculosis. 1t is question of simple, hard
common sense on the part of the patient.
We used to believe that depression of busi-
less and industry would bring about panic.
hat was because we did not know how to treat
yusiness and industrial depressions
It's purely a case for the exercise of hard,
orse sense. There is no reason to believe that we
re going to get well without using proper
ethods nor is there any reason to believe that
tack will be fatal. Undue optimism will delay
7covery. Undue pessimism always delays the
turn of business and industry to health and
gor.

The Ouerburdened Railroads
(From the New York Tribune)

Senator Cummings rightly says
that railroad relief is at present a
question Of reducing operating costs.
The gross revenues Of the carriers in
1920 were the highest on record. The
volume Of freight and passenger
traffic was at its peak. But Of the
$6.25O. 100000 Of revenue all but
100000 or so was eaten up by
operating expenses. taxes, etc.
Freight and passenger rates have
been increased TO point where
some Of them have begun to check
the natural expansion Of traffic. The
public doesn't want to pay higher
rates. The railroads would rather
see rates go down than up. But II
operating costs are maintained at
their present excessive level. through
the decisions of the Federal Labor
Board. the government will be put
in the position of compelling railroad
stockholders TO pay out OF their de-
pleted pockets excess costs Of trans
portation which Congress is not will
ing to saddle on the people, either in
their capacity as shippers and trav-
elers or in their capacity as tax
payers.
To force a situation OF this sort Is
to create an almost irresistible pres
sure for government operation and
ownership. which would please nei-
ther the government nor the public.
There is one intermediate remedy,
Mr.. Cummins points out. That is
to reduce operating expenses and

TO CUT PAY OF
$4,000 SEAMEN
Agreement Reached Be-
tween Steamship Owners
And Shipping Board
WAGE SCHEDULE
is NOT FIXED

WASHINGTON, April 2-Decislon
to reduce the wages Of the 6OO. 600
men employed on American ships
operating out OF Atlantic and Gulf
ports was reached today at a con-
ference OF representatives OF the
American Steamship Owners Asso-
citation and Chairman Benson, OF the
Shipping Board.
Agreements under which seamen
are now working expire May 1. and
the steamship owners sought the ap-
proval OF the board to a plan for
readjusting wages and working con-
ditions. The board, however. de-
clined to approve any specific plan.
Chairman Benson said, and the
terms OF the wage deductions pro-
posed by the owners were not made
public.
The steamship owners were told
the chairman announced, that the
board was thoroughly in harmony
with the view that there must be re-
adjustment OF wages necessitatine
a reduction, restriction of overtime
and modification Of some Of the ex-
isting rules and regulations.
The board insisted. however, the
chairman added, that before any
definite action is taken in readiust-
ing wages conferences must be held
between the owners and the men.
After new working agreements have
been tentatively decided upon al
these conferences. he said. the board
will take up the matter for final
decision.
The steamship men expressed
themselves as in accord with the
boards views, the chairman con-
tinued, adding that conferences
would be represented at these meet
ings. he added, had not been de-
cided.
The negotiations. board officials

thus fulfil the guaranty OF a fair
return on capital invested in rail-
roads which was given in the Esch-
Cummins law. Probably the rail-
roads can save 500, 100000 on their
coal bill for 1921 and many millions
on their lumber and steel bills. But
the real hope of economic readjust-
ment lies in a repeal Of the burden
same labor rules and conditions i'm
posed on the carriers as a death-bed
legacy from the Federal railroad
administration.
This code, drawn up by men who
were in the habit OF creating enor-
nous deficits and covering them by
I o u drafts on the Treasury, has
no scientific relation to the costs OF
railroading. II was framed with
political rather than economic con-
siderations in view. Congress would
have had to modify it, If govern
ment operation had continued, in
order to escape a crushing burden
OF subsidies 20 railroad labor. BY
turning the roads back to the nom
NAL owners it has simply pushed the
subsidy burden on their shoulders.
Railroading is public service, not
free private industry. Its labor
cost must be determined by the pub
lie. which also determines its reve-
nue. and its profit or losses. The
government cannot avoid the duty OF
bringing these three elements into
accord. even II we are to preserve
the fiction Of private operation and
ownership.
