BLAMES PROFITEER
FOR RAIL TROUBLE
Labor Economist Says PrOfi-
teering Caused Real Finan-
cial Difficulties.

BY Associated Press:
CHICAGO. April 22.-War time
and post war profiteering, chiefly in
coal and steel products were held
responsible for a large part OF the
financial difficulties of American
railroads in an exhibit filed by the
railway unions before the railroad
labor board Friday by w. lett
Lauck, economist for the unions.
"a conservative estimte." he said
"of what this profiteering cost the
railroads from 1916 to 1919 is S75,-
OOO.O0O a year in coal bills and
$500, 900 for steel and iron pro-
ducts, including equipment and re-
pairs from locomotive and car COM
panies.
The railroads expended for coal
and other materials and supplies IN
1920 about $4,000. 100000. Accord
ing to figures published by the Bu-
reau of Labor statistics, there was
up to February, 1921, a decline of
3S1a percent in average wholesale
prices OF all commodities, although
the decrease in the cost of living in
the same period was less than 10
per cent. If, as the railroads claim.
this recession is to continue, it will
be only q comparatively short time
before an average decline of so per
cent will be recorded 1t is plain
that the same amount of materials
as purchased in 1920 would cost
$1,000. goo, 600 less, and railroad op-
Grating expenses would be reduced
by this amount.
Earnings of seventeen coal COM
panies set forth in the exhibit shows
that an average percentage Of earn
ing Of 10 in 1912, the percentage
rose TO 27.2 in 1917 declining to 17.2
in 1918.
During the pre-war years 1912
1914. Is steel companies had an
average net income of $3.50, 600.
For the war years 1916-191S the in
come of these same corporations av-
eraged approximately $3$I0Q0, ZOO,
or almost exactly four and one-half
times the pre-war average. These
excess war time profits Of at least
S75O.OOO.OOO represent a burden OF
about $50 upon every American
family"

MAY RECALL HILL
AND WILSON BACK
AS AMBASSADORS
Former Diplomats Under Con
sideratiOn by Harding
For New Posts.

BY Associated Press:
NEW YORK, April 22.-RecalI 10
the diplomatic corps Of DR.. David
jayne Hill of New York. and Henry
Lane Wilson OF Indiana, both of
whom served as ambassadors under
the last republican administration,
is understood TO be under serious
consideration by Pres't Harding.
DR.. Hill. who was American envoy
TO Germany under both Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft, is said to be
foremost I'm the rresident's mind for
the ambassadOrship TO Japan. while
Mr.. Wilson. a former ambassador to
Mexico, may go either 10 Rome or
Constantinople.
Although in no case has the Sc
lection reached a point warranting
definite announcement, Mr.. Hard
ing is understood TO be approaching
a decision regarding these and sew
eral other important appointments
to the diplomatic service. The nom
nations Of two or three ambassa-
doris and a like number Of ministers
may go to the senate next week.
Long Experience
Both DR.. Hill and Air. Wilson have
had long diplomatic experience. a
consideration which weighed strong
iy in their favor when the presi>
dent, shortly after his Inauguration,
asked the senate department to pre-
pare a summary of the records or
all aspirants for diplomatic posts
In addition. both men are said to be
acceptable 10 the present department
officials as well as 10 Mr.. Harding's
political advisers.
Dr. Hill. a well-known writer on
political subjects was assistant sec
retarv of state from 1898 to 1903.

RAIL PROBLEM
UNDECIDED BY
HARDING'S MEN
Cabinet Officials Fail TO.
Reach Agreement on In
dustrial Situation.
MAY CALL EXTRA MEET
Rail Managers, Employees and
Shippers Expected to Hold
Special Session.

By Associated pr3sJ:
WASHINGTON. April %. - The
railroad problem in its relation TO
agriculture and industry again was
the foremost subject OF discussion
at Fridays meeting OF Pres't Hard
ing and his cabinet.
Renewed indications OF the seri-
BUSINESS Of the situation were sur
veyed in detail but there was no de-
cisiOn either as TO an administration
policy or as TO a plan dealing with
the various interests involved. Ii
wes indicated that a general confer
ence o. railway managers, employees
and shippers still was a possibility.
although no such meeting has yet
been determined upon. From the
first the administration has been
reluctant TO go over the head OF the
constituted government agencies
created to deal with wage and rate
problems and. 1t is understood. off
cials here still hope for a solution
through those avenues.
Coupled With Data.
Information gathered by the sem
ate Interstate commerce committee
in it's forthcoming inquiry into the
railroad situation Will be coupled
with data furnished by the railroad
labor board and the interstate COM
merce commission in considering
any legislation or administrative
step.
Reports Of conditions laid before
the cabineet Friday indicated that
the transportation problem not only
was seriously affecting agricultural
interests. but was greatly handicap
ping industry in general. High
freight rates on such basic products
as food and coal. it was said, were
cutting down production in almost
every business and manufacturing
establishment and there were sug-
gestions that in any decisions on
rates this situation must be recog-
nized by differentials favOring ne
cessities.
Another Feature of the industrial
situation was brought TO Pres't
Hardings attention during the day

EMPLOYEES VOTE
CONFIDENCE IN
LEADER
Action of British Miners To-
ward Hodges Makes Out
look Favorable.
FRESH FARLEY CALLED
Lloyd George Confers With
Owners and Miners at the
Board of Trade.

BY Associated Press:
LONDON. April 22.-The coal sit
uation has taken another promising
turn in consequence OF Premier
Lloyd Georges unexpected action in
calling a fresh parley and the fact
that the conference of miners dele
gates. the largest In the history OF
the federation. representing a mem
bership OF nearly 100000 men,
Friday voted continued confidence in
Frank Hodges, secretary Of the min
ers' union.
After adjournment late Friday aft
eTnoOn of the conference which the
prime minister had with mine own
ers and the miners leaders, it was
learned that facts were introduced
which would be considered over the
week END and which would again be
the subject Of discussion at a fur
ther meeting TO be held Monday.
The position was considered so hope
full at the close of this conference
which was held at the board of
trade. that Mr.. Lloyd George. who
previously had intended tc remain in
London over night, started immedi-
ately for Lympe. so as TO be able TO
meet Premier BRAND Of France Sat
urday at Dover.
Important Point.
The official report of the board OF
trade conference shows that the pre-
mier appealed TO both sides 10 come
together and investigate the wage
question. 1t was arranged that dur
ing the adjournment 10 Monday the
coal owners prepare for submission
of papers showing in greater detail
the effect of their proposals both
upon the miners wages and their
own profits.
This is considered an important
point, it having been maintained by
the miners that figures hitherto ad-
vanced by the owners to prove the
industry was unable TO stand a high
er wage scale than that they offered
were misleading. and that in any
case it was unfair to base a perma-
nent wage scale upon "a period of
abnormal depression in the indus
try.
