The Soldiers
Bonus.

The secretary of the treasury ap-
pears to standspretty much alone in
the administration in opposing the SOL
diers' bonus. He insists that there is
no feasible way to provide for financ-
ing such tremendous outlay; and
on second thought he trots out the
suggestion of increased first and Sec
ond-class postage and additional to-
bacco levies. Of course Mr.. Mellon
knows how unpopular such measures
always are, and it is suggested that
he has hit upon these alternatives as
a means to bring discredit upon the
bonus plan. Meanwhile the Amer
lean Legion has been waging persist
ent campaign, and from all appear
ances has congress thoroughly lined
up in favor of the bonus.

CITIES HELP IN
SOLVING LABOR
PROBLEM HERE
Cooperation Over En-
tire Nation Does Much
To Relieve Distress of
Unemployed.

WASHINGTON = Colonel Arthur
Woods, chairman of the standing COM
mittee of the national conference on
unemployment says that efforts of the
cities throughout the country, has
done much to mitigate the troubles
arising from unemployment. MANY

that they are appropriating funds, in
addition to the regular budget, to re-
lieve distress by furnishing employ
ment Work that otherwise would
be delayed until spring or early sum-
mer has been started at once" Buff
falo has set aside $4,000 for groceries
and other necessities for the relief of
LIB families. Detroit is lending out
of emergency funds $l,750,OOO, as ne
cessity arises, to applicants for relief.
Kansas City has raised 100000 in a
charity drive. Other cities that have
made special provision for employ
ment and public works are: St. Paul,
Los Angeles, Savannah, Baltimore,
Dayton, and Hazelton, Pa.
Reiterates Doctrines.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, says
that there are 100000 unemployed in
the United States, and he declares it
"a blot on the escutcheon of our coun-
try that nothing of a tangible charac-
ter has been done to obviate the aw-
full situation" Mr.. Gompers is not
in the least concerned because his
statement is in flat contradiction to
the claims made on behalf of the ma
tional conference of unemployment.
Mr.. Gompers has also taken occasion
to express his disapproval of attempts
to create tribunal for the compul-
sorry adjudication of rail road labor
controversies. He characterized the
proposal as resolution of barbaric
condition under conditions of unfree-
DOM He has also made the charge
that railway officials gave the United
States railroad labor board wage fig
ures $l,250,0O0O00 in excess of the
total actually paid.

that the lease should be cut down to
50 years. The Ford proposition is not
endorsed by the war department, and
congress is left without definite rec
concentrations as to what they should
do about accepting it. Mr.. Weeks
thinks, however, that the government
should go ahead and complete part of

POOR RAILWAYS
TAP TREASURY
Squabble Continues But
Government Foots
All Bills.

WASHINGTON-Since the time
whereof the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary" the railroads have
been relating their ills to the people.
Some of the railroad executives have
recently drawn fire by their repeated
statements that the government
ruined" them. William G. McAdoo,
in testifying before the senate inter
state commerce commission, said that
"the indisputable fact is that the gov
eminent saved them. Mr.. McAdoo
declared that the government opera
ton saved millions of dollars in tran
sportation COSTS" Overmaintenance
of the railroads during the period of
control, Mr.. McAdoo contended, Off
set all claims for undermaintenance
The monthly operating cost under the
federal control, he told the committee,
was $375, 9S8,Sl3, compared with $473,-
257,239 under subsequent private man
agement. This, he pointed out, was
equivalent to saving under govern
ment operation of 81, l67, 1852 year.
He placed the cost of operating the
railroads since restoration of the pro-
perties to the corporations at 81 per
cent higher than it was during federal
control, lin part, to the loss of all
marked economies resulting from uni
fed control under the government"
Statements Disagree.
Walker d. Hines. another former
director general of railroads, has at
tackled the position of the executives
in taking ''as starting point the idea
that their equipment was in ideal con-
dition at the beginning of federal con-
troll" He says that the statement that
the railroads were turned back in an
under-maintained and broken-down
condition was another fiction repre-
senting extraordinary distortion of
facts" to which he adds by way of |
particulars that at the end of federal |
control the locomotives were in dis |
tinctly better condition than at the be-
ginning" and that the condition of
freight cars would compare favorably
The testimony of the former direct
or generals has been rather distress !
ing to the railroad executives, and |
they have rushed into print to show !
wherein the Statements" of these |
gentlemen disagree with their facts"
During the month of January the
treasury of the United States paid to
the railroads $764,382 under the tran
sportation act of 1920. The total pay
ments to January 81 in connection
with the period of federal control
amounted to SOS, 1927.
Final payments have been made to
eight railroads under the guaranty
provision, aggregating $5,09S,54l. OF
the total payments up to the end of |
last month $27l ,060,2l7 of this amount !
were loans from the revolving fund |
of $300,0O0.000. Repayments on loans
have been made by the carriers to the |
extent of $32,s32,470.
