operating ratio of tho railroads of tho
United States is something over 90
that is, for every dollar earned, tho car
riers pay out In operating expenses
more than 80 cents.
Chairman Clark already has informed
inquiring members of the Senate. who
have been appealing for reduction In
rates. that due to the narrow margin
between revenue and operating ex-
penses. great many roads are not earn
Ing their operating expenses and fixed
charges" and n good many are not even
earning their operating expenses.
Under these circumstances" Chair
man Clark told Senator William ]. Har-
ris of Georgia In n letter in reply to an
inquiry, "it is difficult to find an argu-
ment in favor of reducing rates unless
I'm instances in which 1t can be shown
that the rates are sitting the traffic
and that lower rates which would still
be compensatory would effect n move
ment from which there would be some
return"
VIII Not Consider Increases.
That the administration. working on
the problem of inadequate railroad
revenue, viii not consider for n moment
increasing rates. is "A fOregono conclu-
sion. Much OF the advice which the
President will receive will be to the con-
trary. and further reduction in some
rates to stimulate traffic now sluggish
because OF the rates. will be suggested
from important quarters.
The subject OF wages. their part in the
executive operating costs and the pos
sibility of reduction, win be one of the
perplexing issues which tho admins
tralon viii face in swinging into it's
railroad study.
Senator Cummins, in laying the sub
ject before the Cabinet, said rates In n
good many directions could be reduced
now, and that the reductions would un-
doubtedly increase the gross traffic. but
that he did not know whether they
would actually increase the net revenue.
Turning 20 the subject of. wages. Sen
ator Cummins declare the railroads now
spend 60 per cent OF the entire cost Of
operation, for labor. AS the total
operating cost last year was $4,000 00O.-
600, he pointed out that approximately
$500, 100000 went to labor. He added
significantly that 10 per cent reduc-
tion To labor would give the railroads
an additional $3.50 600 900.
Three other items, included I'm the
other 40 per cent of operating costs.
can be reduced. Senator Cummins said.

piication of sound business. n reduction
packers last week and thereby stopped
strike. so President Harding intends
10 defy organized labor and insist upon
the lowering of railroad wages to an
after-war level. IL this can be ac-
compltshed without a strike. which now
seems probable. the first effective step
towards readjustment and normal con-
ditions will have been made. The labor
roll and the freight rates of railroads
are more responsible today for the bad
business condition and high prices than
anything else, although of course much
of the business trouble is n natural
consequence of n let up In the excessive
war buying and the reaction from un-
precedented prosperity.
Hardng's Convictions.
President Harding will advance into
the transportation problem with these
convictions:
/. That the nations entire CONNER
cial fortune is involved in the question
of transportation.
2 That the fundamental objective is
10 bridge the gap between the earnings
and the obligations of the railroads
5. That freight rates are now too
high. in some instances defeating their
whole purpose by sitting traffic
!. That it is the concern of the gov
ernment TO do something TO help.
The direction of the attention Of the
President and his cabinet to tho rail-
road situation means that the energies
both of the executive and Legislative
branches are to be bent to solving the
question of how the federal govern
ment may assist to break the trans
portation crisis.
Senator Albert b. Cummins of Iowa.
one of the authors of the railroad re-
organization act. is completing plans
for introduction in the special session
Of Congress- 10 convene April IL, of IA
resolution providing for a sweeping con-
gressional inquiry into the whole sub
ject.
There is little doubt that agricultural
conditions. affecting particularly the
sheep and cattle industries. have helped
10 bring home TO the administration the
gravity of the railroad problem. The
relation Of railroad rates to tariff on
imported products will be one phase of
the problem to which Mr.. Harding will
give early consideration.
The President is TN possession of data
showing to what extent, running into
hundreds of millions. railway deficits
are accommodating. He Will be advised
by Chairman Clark Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission that the average
