RAILROADS. PUBLICITY BUREAU
IGNORES j, S. BOARDS FIGURES

! WASHINGTON, Nov 3-Figures
on 1917 wages of railroad employees,
now being ISSUED by the association
of railway executives, are in direct
conflict with the report Of the rail-
road wage commission appointed by
! Director General of Railroads Nc
AdoO. This commission consisted Of
Franklin X. Lane. then secretary Of
the interior; Charles c. McChord, in
terstate commerce commissioner; ].
Harry Covington, District of Colum-
bia judge, and William r. Wilcox ex-
postmaster. New York.
| This report is compilation of
wages Of all railroad employees. Its
value lies in the fact that 1t was COM
piled under government auspices by
men of unquestioned character, and
because it refutes the claim made
! then--as now-that wages Of railroad
employees are excessive.
The commission said:
1T has been a somewhat popular
| impression that railroad employees
were among the most highly paid
workers. But figures gathered from
the railroads disposed Of this belief.
; Fifty.one per cent of all employees
: during December, 1917, received $75
: per month or less. And 80 per cent
: y led 500 per month or less.
Even among the locomotive engi-
; necrs, commonly spoken Of as highly
! paid, preponderating number received
less than $170 per month, and this
compensation they have attained by
the most compact and complete or
ganization, handled with full appre-
citation of all strategic values. Be-
tween the grades receiving from $3.50
to $3.50 per month, there is included
less than 3 per cent of all the en-
ployes Excluding officials) and these
suggest that less than $4,000 men out
of grand total of 100000.
The greatest number OF employees,
on all the roads, fall into the class
receiving between $50. and $65 per
month-1SI6sS; while within tho
| range Of the next $40 in monthly SAL
| ary there is a total of 312,761 persons.
| In December, 1917, there were
1l1,477 clerks receiving annual pay
Of 5000 or less. In 1917 the average
| pay of this class was but $56.77 per
| month.
There were 270,s55 section men
whose average pay as a class was
$50.31 per month; 121.0aO other un-
skilled laborers whose average pay

American export trade, amounting to
$11 1,OOO,000,000, make enormous pro-
fits and pay nothing upon these pro-
fits into the American treasury.
One advocate Of the bill really ad-
vanced the strongest argument against
it. This senator said he ''hoped'' it
would not result in sending American
capital, American enterprise and
American companies into countries
where they could, by using cheap la
Dor, compete with American concerns.
The plan was so daring and so all
inclusive that it staggered some sena-
tors, even though they are versed in
Under the present law big business
may open branches in foreign coun-
tries, and trade as an American COR
poration. but it must pay taxes on it's
profits to the United States. It can
evade these taxes by incorporating
under the laws of the foreign coun-
try. but this debars them from call
ing on the United States government
when in difficulty with the author
tiles or the populace Of that country.
The proposed plan would be an in
ducement for big business to invest

TAX D0DCINC PLAN STRIKES SNAC:
ONE SENATOR HINTS At TR|CKERY

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-By vote
Of IS to 80 the senate rejected a plan
that would permit big business to ex-
plot the cheapest labor in the world,
secure the protection Of the American
army and navy In these distant lands
and be exempt from American income,
corporation, or other taxes.
The scheme was included in the new
revenue bill, which has passed The
house. 1t provided that where an
American corporation does 80 per
cent Of its business abroad it is ex tempt
from taxes in the United States.
Advocates of the plan said this was
the practice of European nations, and
that American business men should be
placed on the same footing, that they
could successfully compete with for
eign interests.
After the bill was defeated Sena-
tor Simmons automatically charged
that trickery was used by the tax
exemption advocates.
He said the only reason the senate
committee reported in favor Of :he
bill was that it would equalize COM
petition with other countries, but
now it is found that the only nation
that permits this exemption is Great
Britain, which lis supposed to have
granted some sort OF concession in
the case Of corporations doing busi-
ness in China"

"The' writer shows that IL the in
come tax were worked in the same
manner as the sales tax must work,
the married man without a family
would pay twice as much income tax
as the single man and as his family
increased his taxes would likewise 80
up. If the sales tax will amount to
$50 per capita, then the man with the
large family will pay the larger tax.
This would mean taxation, not accord
Ing to ability to pay, but according to
the number of children.
The 1921 increase in the sales tax
means that the per cent and per
cent rates on domestic transactions
have become ~ per cent and 3 per
cent respectively, and the import rates
2 k per cent and per cent. We have
the minister's statement also that
more than one sales tax is included in
the finished article in Canada. But
while the wholesaler may pay the
first tax and the retailer the second
the consumer ultimately pays all the
sales taxes.
"On the sixth day OF December OF
this present year the people of Cam
ada will have an opportunity to say
what they think of a government
which in matters of taxation as in all
other matters, has done the bidding
OF the economic lords of the land"

Alberta Labor News, official paper of
the Alberta Federation Of Labor.
"The rule for the application of
forms of taxation should be that of
ability to pay" says the Labor News.
But the rule that is followed by thu
representatives of special privilege,
who have hitherto after ded to such
matters, is that of relieving those who
are best able to pay at the expense of
those who are least able to bear the
burden. Such is the Canadian sales
tax.
The sales tax is a consumers tax.
1T places the burden upon the
shoulders Of the man who must buy
clothes and shelter and food.

TRUTH ABOUT RAILROADS SLOWLY
COMING OUT; EASTMAN GIVES IT

ATLANTA, Nov 3.-one Of the
reasons for federal control of rail-
roads was the preservation of rail-
road securities from financial de-
moralization, said Joseph B. East
man. member of the interstate COM
merce commission. in a speech in this
city.
The speaker said railroad discus
sion in recent years has been on a
painfully low level.
II am not thinking Of the ignorance
ana demagoguery which always en-
ters into any public controversy. but
OF discussion from sources which are
presumptively intelligent" he said.
"Now am not speaking of honest
criticism. We all need it. I have in
mind the propaganda which omits
everything that is favorable to the
object of attack, turns the spotlight
upon everything that is unfavorahle
and adds few lies for good measure,
Fhe fact that the roads when un-
der federal control failed to earn The
so-called standard return by many
hundreds Of millions of dollars is Of
tered as proof positive of the 1nef-
flclcncy of government operations.
But call your attention to the fact
mat the first six months after the
return to private control the deficien-
rE was upward. Of 100000; that
IN the IL succeeding months follow
the most stupendous increase ever
made in our railroad rates the de-
flciency was at least $3.50, 100000, and
larger sum only by slashing in cx-
pcdltures which have left the country
with one of the largest percentages
of bad-order cars in it's history. There
were explanations for these deficien-
cies. it is true, but so were there OK
plantations for the deficiencies dur
Ing federal control
Iaklng the case Of labor. The i'm
preston has been spread broadcast
that the increases in railroad wages
during federal control were the pro-
ducts of intrigue and political pres
sure. The facts are that the major
increases were made upon the recon-
mendatlon of bipartisan board OF
arbitration headed by Franklin K.
Lane, which thoroughly considered
both sides. Following federal control
the wages were futher judicially con-
sidered by the labor board created
by the Esch- act, and the re-
suit was a futher increase of about
p per cent built upon the increases
granted during federal control. In
It's report the labor board said:
1T has been found by this board
generally that the scale of wages
The labor world., 1921-11-05

was $58.25 per month; 120,075 sta
ton service employees whose average
pay was $5s.57 per month; 1926
road freight brakem~n and flagmen
whose average pay was s1Oo.17 per
month, and 16,465 road passenger
brakemen and flagmen whose aver
ago pay was $91.10 per month.
''These, it is to be. noted, are MOI
prewar figures; they represent con-
ditions after year of war, and two
years of rising prices And each dol
lar now represents in it's power to
purchase a place in which to live
food to eat and clothing to wear, by
but II cents as against the 100 cents
of January l, 1916.
"That there has been such stead
fast loyalty to the railroads, and 81
slight disposition to use the lever OF
their necessity, and their opportunity
to compel by ruthless action, an in
crease Of wages, is not without sig
nificance and should not be passed
without public recognition"
