Claims of Roads


"Inefficiency of labor" claims to
the amount of tens of millions of
dollars made by the railroads against
the government will not be consid-
cred. A final decision to this eff
feet has been handed down by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
which is in line with the position
maintained all through the contro-
versy by Director General Davis of
the United States Railroad Admin
istration.
This is victory for public opin-
ion, plus the fight made by LABOR
against allowing these claims.
This paper was the first to expose
the scheme by which the roads
planned to raid the United States
Treasury for millions of dollars.
Some weeks ago the commission
tentatively voted six to five to per-
NIT the railroads to incorporate Gin
efficiency of labor" as a factor in
presenting claims for reimburse
ment by the government during the
period of Federal operation of the
roads. That this was graft pure
and simple was shown by LABOR
so clearly that a mighty protest
went up from the people. The COM
mission was flooded with letters
and kilograms demanding that a
stop be put to this method of
robbery. Conferences were held in
the White House and finally the
commission changed it's position
and concurred with the attitude of
the Railroad Administration.
The controversy conferred on the
meaning of the words "cost of la
bor' as they were used in the
standard contracts between the gov
eminent and the railroads at the
time the roads were taken over
during the war. The director gen
eral of railroads contended that the
contract intended to guarantee the
rates of pay per unit for railroad
labor, while the carriers argued
that labor should be computed in
terms of accomplishment upon a
basis fixed by the roads.
THE words cost of labor do not,
we think, open the door to a com
parison of the equality or eff
cheney of labor" says the commits
sion in its final decision. "To hold
otherwise would be contrary to the
plain intent of the provision, for
it is impossible by resort to the ac-
counts of the carriers to determine
the relative efficiency of labor at
various periods, and the introduc-
ton of this indefinite and intangi-
bic factor would have relocated the
accounting test to the very limbo
of controversy and conflict of opin-
ion which it was designed to avoid. y
The decision further states that
if it had been the intent to include
the factor of quality or effective
ness or inefficiency, whatever it may
be termed, this would have been
done in apt and unmistakable Ian
guage in the contract. Thus the
door is closed upon this species of
| loot.

Reclamation Urged

Washington, Aug. 20. - Rep
rensentatives of the A. F. of [.
are urging Congress to pass ma
tional reclamation legislation that
will open the way to the develop
ment of arid and waste lands in
every section of the country and
at the same time relieve the UNI
employed through establishment on
the land of those now unable to
secure land or secure work.
At least half a dozen bills, each
containing admirable provisions.
are before Congress. The A. F.
Of L. representatives believe there
is sufficient favorable sentiment to
secure passage of a single compre-
hensive measure. providing suffi-
Gent interest is shown by the con
stituents Of members of Congress.
The trade unionists are comforting
daily with members of Congress
in the effort to combine the con-
structive features of the various
measures, developing thereby a
thorough American reclamation
program, national in scope.
One of the PRINCIPAL immediate
benefits of such program, as
seen by the labor representatives
is that it would open the way to
former service men to secure
homes and to gain a permanent
status in American life, and that
it would do the same for unem-
ployed industrial workers.

LUMBER ORDER OF
SHIPPING BOARD

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has
at last opened its eyes to the U. S.
Shipping Boards doings.
The commercial press of the coun-
try has in the past shown little
interest in the government owner
ship and operation of a merchant
marine. In the days from 1860
to the world war the policy of the
United States seems to have been
to "let the ships rot
The Wilson administration saw
the necessity of the government own
ership and operation of ocean ship
ping and laid the foundation by
enacting the law creating the Unit
ed States Shipping Corporation.
This law had not been put in
force before private interests be-
gan the work of destroying it.
Senator Jones of Washington in
the last congress pushed through a
shipping bill designed to take the
shipping business out of the hands
of the government and give it to
private corporations. The profiteers
saw in this magnificent oppor-
tunity for gigantic graft.
The Jones bill provided them
with the weapon to cheat the gov
eminent out of its vessels and turn
them over to private corporations.
This was only second to the great
swindle put over under the Cum
mins-Esch act.
Everything worked "lovely" I'M
til the other day the shipping board,
disappearing the interests of the
government, issued an order to book
no more trans-pacific lumber ship
ments.
This hurt the Pacific Northwest
and hurt badly. The Commercial
Press knew all the time that the
commercial marine was handled in
the interest of grafters and prof.
teers, but did not "say anything"
until the "shoe pinched" The
Pr. had the quits" last Sunday
to jump onto the lumber order with
both feet. The P.-I. closes it's
editorial with the following para
graphs:
This infamous order should not
stand. If there is any scrapping
spirit in Washington and Oregon
the people will no submit to it. If
there is any self-respect, any re-
gard for the welfare of their con-
stituents, among the senators and
representatives of these two states,
they will unite in bringing the
shipping board to its senses.
"The Pacific Northwest is situate
at some distance from the national
capital. But it's got to make it
self heard now and heard continu-
ously until this outrageous action is
reversed.
Everybody get busy.
hot"
The P.-I. is right, but this sounds
like docking the stable door after
the horse is stolen" Anyhow dc
the best you can to recover the
horse.
The thing that should have beer
done was to send to Congress 6
delegation that would have truly
represented the Pacific Northwest
instead of the black sheep and crit.
ter goats which fell into the G. 0
P. corporation herd as soon as il
reached Washington.
There is no good reason apparent
why the United States cannot con.
