FEWER Alto FATALITIES.
Registrar Thinks Fewer intoxicated PEG
pie Run Autos.

BOSTON, Dee. According to
Frank \. Goodwin. state registrar of mo-
tor vehicles. there were IS fatal automo-
bile accidents last month, as compared
with - during November, 1920. The
number of people convicted of operating
cars while under the influence of liquor
shows a decrease, the registrar says.
Registrar Goodwin's statement is rs
follows:
The November record of deaths due
to motor vehicle accidents shows a Won
deEful improvement over that of Noyem-
Der of last year. Notwithstanding the fact
that there were $4,000 more cars on the
highways than last year, the number of
persons killed was reduced from - TO IL.
In explaining this reduction it is sig
nificaut that the number of persons con-
victed of operating under the influence
of liquor was less than in November last
year. while in every other month of the
year there was a great Increase. Another
significant circumstance is that the NUM-
Der of convictions for all motor vehicle
offenses. resulting in the, revocation OF
licenses. was less this November than last
November. although in every other month
Of this year there was an increase over
last wear"

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

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:
"a The costs Of operation are alb
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"
(2) That 971s cents out of every
dollar of operating expenses in 1920
we're at prices fixed directly by the
government, or by general market con-
ditions and over which the railroad
arrangements had no control.
90 That the general business de-
preston 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-
Grating expenses since 1916:
''The labor bill of the carriers in
1916 (Which was before the Adamson
law took effect) stood at 81 1,46S, ,576.394.
In 1920 it was $3,69S ,216,351, an in
crease of $2,229, ,S39957.
''The increase by years since 1915
has been as follows:
Increase in 1917. 7......... .$270, ,o05, ,749
Increase In 1919. .......... 229, 81 ,o81
Increase in 1920. ......... 055, ,o87 ,91o
or an aggregate increase
since 1916 of .......... So, ,229, ,839 ,O57
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 192O$6, 1863, 138, ,341
Actual expenses for 1919. 4,667 ,774, ,131
| Inc. for 1920 over 1919$1 ,4e5, ,364,21o
Mr.. Kruttschnitt, in showing how
little control the railroads had over
necessary expenditures, said:
