Matter is inclded also from the proceedings of important railway associations and club and from rail- way periodicals, governmental inves- tigatiohs and the reports of officials of the United States Railway admin istration.
 The employees raise the point that the guarantee to the railway com panies by the United States govern ment is not to be construed as an unconditional privilege granted to the railway operators to levy fixed charges upon shippers, consumers, employees, and the public in general without any accountability on the part of the railway administration themselves. The employees take the position that the railway inspectors must assume certain responsibilities and that among these responsibilities is the obligation to give the public a rail- way administration which is reason ably efficient in every respect.
