Is GRAFT INCURABLE IN RAIL
ROAD MANAGEMENT?

President Johnston, of the Machl-
nists' Union, recently submitted to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
detailed reports tending to prove that
the railroads were having their loco
motives and cars repaired IN shops
outside the railroad shops at enorm-
Gus losses.
He said at that time that if the
practice were not stopped it would
ultimately involve loss of thous-
and million dollars to the railroads.
The Interstate Commerce Commls-
sion sumoned the railroad presidents
before it at a hearing two weeks ago.
P. c.. Blecke, an official examiner
of accounts of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, testified that on
only 200 locomotives which the Penn
svlvania Railroad had turned over to
the Baldwin locomotive works repairs
was involved loss of about $17,OOO
apiece. The railroads own machln-
lists, he said, did these repairs for an
average cost of $6,638, while the
Baldwin Locomotive Company charged
an average of $23,047 each.
Mr.. Harvey Boltwood, mechanical
engineer of the Department Of Rail-
road Equipment of the United
States Railroad Administration, restl-
fed that locomotives needing slight
repairs were listed as needing heavy
repairs. Isn't this a fine spectacle OF
graft?
The testimony Of these government
employees was not refuted or even
explicitly answered.
The loss on these locomotives alone
under consideration to the Penns :
vania Railroad, amounts to $3,li3,9o2.
AS the practice is said to have been
general it tends to explain the ap-
palling losses of the railroads in their
recent reports of earnings.
The railroads have been laying oil
thousands of their shop employees
upon the pretense of economy, but in
reality, it is feared, to break the
unions. The country is also being
flooded by controlled newspapers and
every available agency of propaganda
with reports that the railroads are
going bankrupt because they have not
been allowed to reduce wages.
They seem to be going bankrupt,
but is it not this kind of graft and
waste which will bankrupt them and
not high wages?
How long will the country be pa
tient with private management after
this years experience?
If private management can't be-
have itself even during its first year
of trial under a law which gave it
everything it wanted, and after half
a century of constant, consistent
evasion of the law and persistence IN
graft, when and how shall we put al
end to it?-Cinc. Labor Advocate.
