Question of Efficiency of War
Labor Arises.

WASHINGTON. July 5.-Upon the
question Of efficiency or nonefficiency Of
wartime railroad labor today depended
settlement Of 81 ,250,000000 worth OF
claims filed by the railroads against the
Government. Attorneys for the railroads
now appearing before Rail Director Davis
contend that the railroad administration
should have spent 81 250,0000O0 more
than it did during Federal control on
maintenance Of property and rights-of-
way. The money actually spent by the
Government was insufficient to keep the
roads in good condition because of the
inefficiency of workers employed, the rail
lawyers contend.
Attorneys for the railroad administra-
ton are fightiTg the claim on the ground
that wartime labor was more efficient
than peace-t.me labor.
Rail Director Davis believes the claim
can be settled at from 40 to 60 per cent
of the amount demanded. This would
make the Government liable for from
$500 600, 900 to $3.50 100000
