The Railroad Crisis

The people OF the United States again
face TO face with the question OF how they are
TO protect their life and death interest in the
uninterrupted operation OF the railroads. Un-
der Grover Cleveland, such attack upon the
public safety as is now threatened in
the right way-by the full physical power Of
the United States Government in the defense
OF its citizens a whole.
Under woodrow Wilson. frightened Presi-
dent and Congress- bullied by railroad labor
leaders, authorized the surrender terrorism

viciousness lay less I'm the concrete conces-
sions it made than in the fact of making any
concessions under such threats.
We hope and expect that President Hard

portaton. will strongly the defender OF
all the people OF the country.
We believe, also, that any serious failure OF
rail transportation will be met and remedied
for the moment as in the last great British rail
strke-by aroused people, manning engines
and trains, switches and signals. and operat-
ing the railroads for themselves until the
strikers come realize here, they did i'm

rail Brotherhoods, though they may be essen

dspensabIe on their own terms.
But vigorous executive and popular action
will not In themselves do more than surmount
n crisis. The real problem will remain.
In looking for a way settle that problem
permanently, shall need TO begin by realiz-
ing that the method embodied in the Railroad
Labor Board has for the present failed, and by
understanding why it has failed.
The Labor Board plan essentially rests on
the assumption that informed public opin-
ion will induce both parties in each dispute
considered. TO accept the decision of the Board:
that this public opinion (when special pres
from it is necessary viii he the final force
preventing serious interruption of that
portation which the very existence of the
country depends.
That dangerous dispute might be hidden
by failure OF a railroad its employees refer

The following compilation pre-
pared by the Bureau of Railway Eco
Monies shows the relative increases
in the railroad payrolls since 1915,
and the increases OF freight rates re-
ceived by the railroads in the same
period.
Since 1915 there have been four
general increases in freight rates
which averaged as follows;

given unlimited powers to compel the presence
of witnesses and the production of records.
1t was reasonable expectation that under
such a system most issues between the rail-
roads and their employees would be composed
without interruption OF trarfc. But for the
case OF a strike in defiance OF the finding OF
the Board. and presumptveIy therefore in de-
hance OF public opinion, the transportation
Act made no explicit provision.
The Labor Board has no Iega- power to
force its decisions. Like the smlrr emergency
authority in Canada, IL may make a public
finding that a party an issue has refused to
abide by its decision; but unlike the Canadian
PLAN there is no power in the Labor Board
even to forbid a strike while its inquiry is un-
der way.
In the present emergency therefore, the
question arises: Has the Labor Board already
exhausted its power of compulsion through
public opinion?
One further step seems 10 us possible; the
SUCCESS or failure OF it would determine
whether reliance on public opinion unexpressed
in definite law is adequate protection to the
public interest in transportation.
IL seems to that the public members OF
the Board might well feel justified in telling
the country, In formal finding that the
threatened strikes are unwarranted. and why
they are unwarranted. In such a course the
public members could command the support
Of the railroad members, and hence OF a
jority OF the Board.
That majority would have 20 condemn the
strikes. To do otherwise would be confession
that its own findings, against which the strikes
arc lat least ostensibly) protest, were unfair.
Such declaration 20 the country would seem
TO test 20 the uttermost the efficacy of nom
statute public opinion, in so far as that opinion
be reused and directed by any permanent
agency for dealing with labor disputes.
Not only the Railroad Labor Board plan, but
every scheme yet proposed for preventing
strikes without explicitly prohibiting them by
Iaw-includng the plan proposed by President
Wilson's second Industrial Conference-is on
trial now. III an ant-strike finding by the
Board failed to check the Strikes this would
be sufficient evidence that the country must
adopt some more drastic form OF self-protec-
ton.
Evening journal., 1921-10-25

When a railway or any other busi-
ness after paying its running ex-
penses does not have enough left
over out OF all its gross receipts to
pay the interest on its debts it is on
the road to bankruptcy and a receiv-
ership. When it does not have
enough left over to keep up the
plant, it is headed for the scrap
heap.
Last year the Glass I railroads OF
the United States collected from the
American public as operating reve-
nue. the colossal total OF s6,171,493.-
301. How every dollar OF that more
than six billions Of dollars taken in
by the railroads went tells the whole
story Of what was the matter with
them and why they could not go on
as they were going without both
landing in receiverships and becom-
ing piles OF junk. Here is what
became of every dollar of the more
than six billions taken in:
