ASKS ADJUSTMENT or WAGES AND RATES.

A DJUS1NiENT Of the wages OF railway employees upon
N the basis Of wages paid 10 similar classes Of labor in
other empoymens and a reduction OF railway rates
equivalent to the reduction demanded Of the
railroads in resolutions adopted by the executive commit
tee Of the National Industrial Traffic League at meeting
in Chicago September &c. In the preamble OF the resou-
tions TO the effect II is stated that:
"The executive commttee OF the National Industrial
Traffic League after consideration Of the problem and the
present business and economic situation is OF the bcei
that the return to normal business conditions requires
Recognition Of the fact that efficient and economical
operation the railroads depends primarily the pay
other lines Of industry for similar work.
"A general reduction in freight rates equal at least to
decrease in operating brought about by read
iustment Of wages a just and equitable basis
That the carriers should Immediately proceed to read
Just both wages and rates that such reductions may
take effect simultaneously"
Accompanying the resolutions declaration that:
The carriers hampered by the policy and sowness
OF action OF the Railroad Labor Board Any condition
which prevents the employer and empoye from dealing
directly with each other Is bad and Is fertile Held Tor
dssensons fair to the carriers nor to the public
other employees performing work Of similar nature in
private Industries: and until the railway employees are
naced upon corresponding basis with those or private
industries Il cannot be said that the railroads are encl-
emily or economically operated
The National Industrial Trafc League is composed OF
Representatives Of the large manufacturing concerns and
commercial organizations numbering about 1000 It has
several prominent members who reside in Delaware, who
naturally are eager 10 get transportation conditions back
10 normal and who recognize that the railroad companies
cannot do the impossible when they compelled TO op-
crate in revenue and expenditure lines which funda-
mentally unsound.

Pennsylvania our country has lost OF its biggest
and most patriotic men, neighboring State
has lost the services OF an able and devoted who
represented admirably and sersacrincingly for many
years the public service and the Republican party
lost one OF its chief constructive representatives who
abored unremittngy and inelligenty for many years
for the OF the undyng principles for which that
great political organization has stood.

name will disappear from American history, while
will be many decades before the benencent effect OF his
influence viii fail to be apparent in the political and eco
nomc lifc OF our country
Americans great debt OF gratitude to Mr. Knox.
They respected and honored him while he was living.
Now that he is dead, they should revere his memory

because OF their financial necessi-
ties, the roads all taken together
would not have made a dollar OF
net earnings; they would have
shown an operating deficit OF S60,-
100000. And an operating deficit
of 500 100000 in what is normally
about the best railroad month in
the year would have been ruinous
OF railway credit.
Operating costs which are stlll on
the war imitation basis have got to
come down not only before there
can be a general reduction Of rates.
but before the roads can put and
keep themselves in first-class condi-
ton. This means lower labor and
coal costs. which are the overshad-
owing items Of expense in operating
the American transportation system.
They count up, in fact. a far heavier
total OF expenditures than all the
other railway charges and costs put
together.

after all IT is not up to Secretary
Hoover and the unemployment con-

they would give a big impulse to gem

road men to work again, with per-
hans half as many more in the rail-
way equipment and the supply field

road to solvency for themselves and

General Daugherty announces.
Having observed many congressional investigations in
the past and noticed that they usually get nowhere you
are safe in betting that the Klan will die natural not

As matter Of fact II is organization OF type that
It would be almost impossible to stamp out were desr-
able to do
II current reports be true the net result OF the recent
publicity campaign against the Ku Klux Kan has been to
advertise It widely and TO increase its membership in
Delaware and all other sections OF our country.
Since results doubtless not to the liking OF those
who naugurated the samp-out campan against the Khan
but the fairer-mnded OF them frankly admit now that
they gave to the organization free advertising which

RdiIrUay Rates and Business
(From The New York Herald) .

The agricultural bloc in Congress
wants railway rates reduced, Secre-
tary Hoover OF the Department OF
Commerce wants them reduced, and
the public wants them reduced. But
nobody Is keener for a national re-
adjustment Of freight and passen
ger charges than the railroads
themselves. General Atterbury
spoke not merely for the great
Pennsylvania system OF which he is
the operating head. when he said
the other day that there must be
liquidation in coal and transporta-
tion as in everything else he spoke
for all the railroad sense and ex-
perience In the country.
While. however a readiustment
Of rates is necessary to help gem
eral industry to do more business
and thus to help the carriers by
making more traffic for them to
haul. the transportation charges
cannot come down as whole while
operating costs stay up without the
carriers going bankrupt And bank
rupt carriers cannot give the coun-
try good service.
Railway labor union chiefs and
some railway baiters in Congress
are citing the August earnings OF
the roads to show that the roads
could now stand material rate re-
ductions without other readjust-
ments. But what the official re-
ports OF the August earnings really
show is exactly the opposite of that
The roads, all taken together
we're able 10 show net earnings OF
500. 900. 900 for August only by
sklmping maintenance work to the
shocking extent OF $4,000 900. II
