Railroads and Their Troubles

ness stagnation OF the country have
never been adequately substantiated.
The real reason for the depression
is the strike of the public against
the high prices OF commodities
Building operations are halted by
the extravagant demands OF labor;
lumber and other materials cannot
be sold even at reduced prices. and
buyers generally have decided 10
wait until there is assurance that the
low level has been reached. Under
these conditions. a small saving In
freight charges will not revive indus
try; some manufacturers say frankly
that II their goods were carried for
nothing people would not buy them.
AS a matter OF fact. fruits. vege-
tables and other foodstuffs are being
offered in the markets at prices Civ
ing profits four or five times greater
than those OF the producers and the
railroads combined. Yet many deal
ers are clamoring for lower freight
rates

CAPITAL AND RAILROADS.
(st. Albans. VI. Messenger.l

est Adams, VI, Messenger
Capital. while II is daring in that
It will go too far off corners OF the
world. is also very cautious. IL does
not throw itself away. Capital feels
that it has a right TO an adequate
return. just as labor has a right to
a living wage. The proper state Is
reached when both capital and la
Dor are properly repaid.
So long as railroads can not com
pete with other lines in attracting
capital, just so long must the people
OF the country put up with a condi-
tion Of insufficient transportation IA
cilities. and a deficiency on this score
is most detrimental 10 the develop
ment OF the nation.
Railroads have been flttingly de-
scribed as the arteries through which
the life blood OF the country flows.
kruttschnitt was In effect saying
that the nation is suffering from
hardening Of the arteries. II is time
that the cure. easily at hand. were
administered. All that is lacking is
courage on the part OF those who
have the power 70 prescribe.

RESTORE EFFICIENCY.
Cincinnati. o., Inqulror) }

kClnclnnalli O.s lnQulfefl
Mr.. Kruttschnitt declared that
railroad labor began to lose its eff
cheney as soon as II began TO trans
fer its attention from it's local Off
GERS and local lines 10 Washington
as the center OF authority. In this he
voices the experience OF every other
railroad railroad system.
The feast OF politics and business,
spread under Government manage
ment was sufficient to disorganize
within few months the efficiency
system OF operation which had been
effected through many years OF prac-
teal. everyday working experience
under private management
Thus, II was not alone an increase
Of operating expenses. but an equal
burden of inefficiency and lack of
concentration OF interest on system
operation that the carrier manage
ments have had 10 contend with
since the termination Of Government
mismanagement.
Hence the necessity for an early
restoration Of former operating reg
ulations and an early appreciation
by railroad labor that its allegiance
now is TO the railroads and not to q
political machine.

Germans Open War Upon
Allied Nations Goods

the movement has already had big
effect in France and England. They
say that leading French and British
dealers have been urging their re-
spective governments to be more
lenient with Germany.
Leipsic Follows Hamburg's Example
In this city attended a meeting
at the hotel sachsenhof. where the
leading business men. newspaper
proprietors and editors and the
prominent members Of all the Do-
liucal parties discussed whether
Leipsic should initiate Hamburg s
boycott movement
II was unanimously decided to
do so.
One million stickers were ordered
printed. They are TO be pasted on
all letters and envelopes sent out by
Leipsic firms. Cards are TO be hung
in shop windows and street cars.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted. II said England and France
we're waging against German busi-
ness the long-threatened economic
boycott The German government
could not help business men, because
il was chained by the Versailles
treaty. Self-help was the only thing
left
self-help meant that for all citi-
zens Of every class and Of every de-
gree Of wealth. IL was a patriot

goods and consume only things made

RAIIRoAD EXECUTIVES AP.
PROVE THE LAW.
CTopeka, X

CTopeka. Kas.. Capital.)
II IL reassuring TO hear from the
Association OF Railway Executives in
the presentation Of the case Of the
railroads before the Senate Commit
tee on Interstate Commerce that "the
transportation act has not broken
down." and that the present difficult
ties OF the railroads are not due to
the transportation act" but on the
contrary that "the last Congress in
passing the transportation act placed
upon the statute books the most con-
structive measure dealing with our
transportation situation that has
been enacted into law in the last is
years"
These are remarkable tributes "a
the work OF Congress In attempting
to deal with a problem OF great COM
plexity and vital concern to every
Industry in the land, and all the peo.
pie. IL clears the atmosphere" ir
very large measure.
For the time being al least. ac'
cording to the highest professional
opinion, the executives OF the grea
railways systems, the problem
solved, 80 far as legislation is con
cerned. II Is a matter OF administra
tion OF the law and OF the propertie
themselves and the return OF norma
business conditions.
II this is the situation. the oountr-
will feel relieved OF a load Of appre
hension.
But in fact the railway executive
report that the difficulties in IN
transportation industry are simpl
part and parcel OF the general politl
cal and Industrial situation and wi
be removed as the difficulties wit
which other business contends wi
be removed.
Evening journal., 1921-06-11

The process has been confscation-
nothing else.
Not only has there been no prof
iteering. but year after year securi-
ties have shrunk IN price. Formerly
the railroads may have robbed the
public. We have evened the score.
The railroads are not functioning
well. The reason Is plain. No one
wishes 10 invest In a losing venture.
SO improvements are not made,
equipment is not bought and service
detoriorates. The reduced 'Pennsy''
dividend speaks loudly to those who
listen and inteiligontly seek a solu-
ton of the railroad problem.
The solution Is simple: Let the
railroad owners run their own prop
erty and give thom an equal chance
10 make money.
