MILLIONS WASTED
BY.RAIROADS UNDER
BAD MANAGERS
Managerial Ineiiclency Is Charged by
Members Of the Unions In
Statement Filed
Today.

Chicago, April 20.-Wastes amount
ing to 1,OOO,OOODOO annually were
laid to managerial inefiiciency on
American railroads in detailed ex-
hibit placed before the Railroad Labor
Board today as part Of union labor's
fight against reduction OF wages.
Recoverable wastes we're estimated
by the employees at $57S,5O0,OO0 a
year and other wastes, impossible OF
estimation, would equal that amount,
1t was declared.
The employees contend that If those
deficiencies and defaults In manage
ment we're redressed and repaired,
there would remain no reason for re-
duction in wages. AS method Of cor
recting wasteful methods and increas-
ing the efficiency of employees, the
exhibit advocated cooperative effort
between management and workers
Recoverable and easily estimated
wastes were divided by the exhibit
under nine heads. The wastes which
the unions said could not be estimat-
ed in terms OF money included a vari-
ETY. of subjects ranging from defective
train equipment and tracks through
allegations of incompetent and ex-
travagant management.

white bore the letters XII. A huge
bolt, used. it is believed. for moor
