RAIL GRAFT PROVED,

The chief examiner of accounts for
the interstate commerce commission
has testified that the New York Gen.
trail is guilty of padding costs as
charged by railroad labor and other
intelligent critics of private manage
ment at the present time.
Examiner w. B. o. Stevenson finds
that on 1876 locomotives repaired in
outside shops for the New York Gen.
trail in 1920, charges were $3,169,322
in excess of what these repairs would
have cost in the company shops.
The cost was an average of $780,
996.95 for repairs per engine at an
outside plant in Rome, N. Y, as
against $1O,195.81 as an average for
the same class of work in the COM
pany's own shops. :
At first thought it might seem hard
to believe that railroad executives
would try to keep costs low and thus
make better showing for their man
agement, but there are three compel
ling reasons why they do the opposite:
/. The government committed itself
to cost plus '5A per cent profit guar
antee. Hence the more costs the more
the roads can take out Of the public.
This money wasted as far as the pub
Lie is concerned does not get away
from the insiders. : Ill s. i.
y, 2. Railroad labor is protected in
certain ways by federal laws. Hence
by eliminating their own repair work
the roads can make a thrust at labor
as part of the open shop drive.
3. Railroad officials are largely pup
pets of the big banking syndicates,
chiefly the Morgan syndicate. This
syndicate controls most of the big out
side repair shops and locomotive
building works. It can thus bleed the
roads on repairs and on new cars and
locomotives. And the stockholders of
the roads as we'll as the public suffer.
eThis last point explains why rail-
road security owners, led by Warfeld,
made great protest recently as to
the hgh-handed, disastrous ways in
which the railroad bosses were man
aging the roads. ,-.a- ~
Things have reached such a stage
that no remedy is possible short of
taking power away from these inside
looters by government ownership.

The Pipe
And Easy Chair

, In almost every home, there's one
place sacred to the head of the house
where he is accustomed to settle down
and take his comfort.
There is big, comfortable chair-a
Morris chair, or some sort of an uphol-
stored, shaped-to-his-figure seat such
rs used to be called an easy chair.
It's usually lodged near the fireplace:
At any rate, it's always stationed at
just about the most comfortable spot
in the house.
And right near at hand you newt
ably find-what?
, Pipes and tobacco, don't you?
Men are likely to be just as COM
fort-loving as they are Woodworking.
They know that rest is necessary to
renew their powers. They know that
after a pipeful and short rest in the
old easy chair, their minds work more
clearly; they can think things out that
baffled them no little during the pres
sure and confusion of the day. And So
they take their comfort, wisely take it.
