through its President, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr. Elaborate statistical
tables have been presented, tending
to prove that while the Republicans
in control Of both Houses at Wash
ington were advertising the fact that
tremendous savings to the taxpayers
were being made, in reality nothing
of the kind has occurred n the
peoples money is being spent more
prodigally than ever. AT the time
the appropriation bills were passed.
says the Herald, referring to the
bills for the fiscal ear ending June
| 80, 1921, much credit was taken by
| Congress for cutting the estimates,
but no actual saving resulted II
that be true, it Is a reflection not

Of government expenditures for the
year ending June 80, 1921.

more intense, while some of the rail-
roads on the one hand nave gOaded the
employees to a strike by declaring they
were ready to deal a body blow to union
insisted that if they take a, cut in wages
the rates must come down for freight and
passenger service.
Between the two stands the public rep
resented by a more or less helpless group
in the L. s. railroad labor board but now
represented by the larger influence and
power of the chief executive upon whose
the railroads confident that Mr.. Hard
ing viii force a wage cut and the en-
plOyeS sure that the president will not
dare to use his executive power to inter
fere in a labor controversy to their disad-
vantage. The employees know, more
over, that in congress the powerful agri-
cultural bloc has been trying for months to
force a reduction in freight rates and that
the railroads will not escape this time
with simply victory over their employees
if congress takes a hand.
President Harding has reduced the
matter to a simple formula in that he
recognizes that the interstate commerce
trolls the income of railroads and the
United States railroad board which
handles large item in railroad cXpendi-
tuEeS--namelys wages-have much in
common and that a combined report from
both agencies viii assist in an intelligent
settlement of the problem.
For months the railroads have been
insisting that they couldn't reduce freight
rates. They convinced most everybody
in the government that they would be
bankrupt by July LIST unless aid was
forthcoming from congress, but that aid
hasn't been given and now October is here
with railroad earnings picking up. The
yspiI do
auctions in freight rates but Mr.. Hard
ing, who has from the first insisted that
rates must come down probably viii not
be satisfied this time with promises of
reductions but will find a way to make
these reductions effective,
The fact that nearly two weeks must
elapSe before the strike order takes effect
is looked upon as giving ample opportun-
ity for negotiations. Meanwhile the
word from railroad sources is. that a
strike can be fought and will not pGralyze
traffic. General Atterbury, of the Penn
Sylvania is reported as saying that the
strike could be beaten by his road. 1t
may be that his employees viii not prove
as loyal to the unions as the leaders Of
the latter think. 1t will be noted that
the union leaders have postponed the
strike order on the Pennsylvania two
days beyond the date of the call to the
workmen on other roads. This is IN
terpreted here as meaning that it is
hoped to influence. reluctaHt employees on
the Pennsylvania by demonstrations of
strength on western roads.
Feeling between the railroad eXecu-
tives and the labor leaders has been
growing more intense every day. The
chances of reconciliation between them
are not considered good Only the inter
vention of the executive can force a with
drawal of the strike order but it will
have to be accompanied by a reduction in
freight rates before it will get very far
with the employees.
