STOCK AND BOND HOLDERS

Many people express solicitude for
the railroad employees merely be-
cause they think there are many
more employees than owners of the
roads, and that the powerful few
have been exploiting the more nu-
erous, but less influential, workers
for their own benefit. The Railway
Age estimates that there are APP
proximately twice as many owners of
rail securities as there are employees.
The Northern Pacific road is consid-
cred typical of all lines, and recent
count showed that there are $4,000
owners of it's bonds and stocks. But
the employees of the Northern Pacific
number only about 10000. The rights
of those security holders are just as
inviolate as the rights of labor. The
railroad employees were able, through
threatened strikes and various other
forms of intimidation, to raise their
wages substantially as the cost of
living rose during and after the war.
But the security holders, depending

and interest payments, had no re-
dress Not only was their income
not increased, but in most cases it
was cut off entirely, while the mar
ket value of their holdings steadily
went down. They could not use
force and coercion to keep their in
come on a par with living costs,
even had they been inclined to do so.
Instead of the rail employees being
forced to accept unreasonable wages
and conditions of employment in or
der that the owners of the roads
might prosper, exactly the reverse
has been true. The organized work
ers took advantage of the defenseless
condition of their employers and the
circumstances of the times to extort
rates Of wages far out of proportion
to returns on capital, and rules of

 DIPLOMATS INVOLVED
 Even the foreign governments are not without their representatives, according to MT. Barrett
 ''Of course, it is improper for for eign diplomat to attempt to influence American legislative or executive ac- tion, but a way has been found to ao- complish this Legislative committees have been created under the names Of educational bureaus or such like. These have no definite or tangible connection with any accredited diplomat Never theless, the country which the diplomat represents is the beneficiary Of their activities
 MT. Barrett says no one has yet taken complete census of men and women associated with the assistant government" but that it is estimated by persons who believe they have cor rect information that for every man in both branches of Congress there are at least two patriots in Washington ready and eager to instruct him in his du- ties.
 If a statesman is in doubt on a mat ter" he continues, all he has to do is to consult with member of the inner circle of the assistant government and he can instantly be set straight
 SITS AMONG NOTABLES
 Mr Barrett asserts that MT. Defrees who recently was elected president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has been given place among the notables who are in Wash ington to assist the government in its effort to do it's duty"
 MT Defrees" he says, "has spent the greater part of his life time amidst money. luxury, refinement and intel lectuals. Naturally a man of such at tainments would be influential u Washington and would be an acquisi ton to the ranks of the great assist ant government Mr. Defrees has gooc connections in Washington.

 MT. Thom has for years beneyolent!y instructed the interstate and foreign commerce committees in both houses of Congress in what ought to be done to and for the railways" Mir. Barrett con. tinued. He has the respect and eonf- donee of many of the leaders and the approaches to the inner legislative cir cles have never been closed to him. He has shown himself on many occasions 10 be able to divert the thoughts of lead- CTS from other and important leglsiation to matters in which the Association et Railway Executives are especially in- terested
 CITES AN EXAMPLE
 "An example of this peculiar and valu- able kind of ability is found in the face that MT. Thom and his associates found a right of way for the Winslow bill, ! measure which authorized the treasury to make partial payments of the guaran- tee fund to the railways. To do this 1t was necessary to shunt aside the packer regulation bill and to bury other meas ures

 Mr. Barrett then takes up the activi- ties of A. G. Batchelder, former news naner man representing the American Automobile association; Norman Drapec, representing the Institute of American Meat Packers, the representatives of tho Lumbermen's association, the Gamer organization, and the two coal associa- tions, wholesalers and operators.
