Relation of the Electric Railway
Industry to Industrial Efficiency
Address Before Electric Railway
Engineers


One of the outstanding results. OF
the present unemployment confer
ence has been to impress on every.
one the unlimited interdependency OF
our various industries. Not that
the general fact was unknown, or
unexpected, but the conference mas
brought the fact forward with start
ling distinctness.
Your industry is no exception to
this, but on the contrary is probably
one of the most conspicuous ex-
amples. It would appear that the
only thing which kept you going, as
an industry, during some OF the
past years has been the very neces-
sity Of your service in order that
the rest Of the community couid

The condition of your industry is
indeed critical in many respects. The

Some of the data which bear upon
this are astonishing and conclusive
Of the point.
You employ some 100000 men in
normal times.
You burn annually over lG,000,000,-
tons Of coal.
You have gross income, estima-
ted for 1920, of some 1855 100000 Of
which approximately per cent, or
nearly $60,000,000 is repaid to the
communities in taxes, not to mentiols
the paving maintenance which most
of you carry.
You pay out over $30O,OOO,OOO in
wages, which is used principally for

purchasing commodities and the
products Of other industries.
You buy directly supply material
which costs another S300,000,000.
You buy, in normal times, an
other S200,000,000 worth for extern
sions, requirements, etc.
You transport, each year, from
12,000,000,000 to 1890 0,000,000 pas

INFLUENCE OF mArsRIALIsm.

The introduction OF so much ma
terialism in our public education will
make the future unrest and strife
worse than IL Is now. The trouble
with the situation is that profession
alism and big salaries are content with
IL "a IL Is. They love materialism.
With many IL Is the larger life. They
regard spirituality as a rosy sentl-
ment, too vague for practical life.
They don't understand 1t and look
upon ii as mere limit to the domina-
ton of pleasure. And there Is the
rub. says Ohio State Journal. They
don't know what pleasure Is. never
think il is mostly sensual. never
make any difference between that and
happiness, which is the most fatal
ignorance In the whole educational
outfit. But the one fact which pro-
trudes through human experience ev-
erywhere is that the rejection of the
spiritual life makes all prospect dark.
That is the trouble with us now-the
trouble with religion, education, trade
and politics. The world will grow
better with spirituality, but worse
with materialism. But how much ma
terialism embraces, the popular idea
does not understand.

AS they established our nation our
forefathers practiced thrift, both in
the conduct of their personal and gov
ernmental affairs. Prosperity has
lessened the need for frugality as
practiced by them, and the develop
ment of a larger and fuller life, with
all its refining influences warrants a
larger expenditure for the happiness
and development of the home life.
Yet we have passed from liberality TO
extravaganza and even to wanton
wastefulness in the conduct of private
and public affairs. With what effect
upon our youth? Many of them look
upon thrift and frugality as stinginess
and are not being prepared for the
effort that will be required TO eStab-
lish themselves in the future. 1t is

ers are making, that is all but a crime
