Mr.. Uurnhnn.s Statement

OCULAR notions, once fixed. are exceed
ingly hard TO dislodge. and this seems
especially true with respect to notions con-
corning public service corporations Tho
fact that there in the past OF some
American railroads chapters which must he
lived down will hardly he questioned in
any quarter: but it is wholly unsafe and
unfair To reason from this that dishonest
administration has ut any time been uni
versal, or that railroad management is in
scparable from deceptive methods Aside
from any consideration OF simple fairness
toward the people whose money is invested
In railroad stock, n due regard for self
interest should incline the American hubble
mind toward an unbiased study of what is
sometimes called though not quite correct
ly. the railroads side" Of matters in con
trOversy.
Mr. Harahans statement, in which he un
dertakes 10 refute certain popular miscon-
coptions with respect to railroad manage
ment, is comprehensive. and to tho person
of unprecedented mind must he convincing
ferhaps there is no more significant SEN
fence in this statement than the following:
The fact of the matter is today that the
railroads are lying dormant as far as i'm
provements and increases in facilities arc
concerned That fact alone--its truth will
hardly be questioned by any Informed per-
Soh-OuEht 10 be sufficient 10 sweep away
most Of the notions uron which certain
section OF the public bases n consistently
"ntirailroad position. Manifcstly. the men
VINO are directing tho fortunes OF Amer
i1hn railroads would not deliberately choose
10 reverse traditional and intelligent mol
icy OF Improvement and expansion regard
less or the means available 10 them rho
simple obvious fact is that an extended
period OF virtual stoppagc. so far as lp-
building lis concerned. has been n necos-
sary accompaniment OF prolonged and acute
financial distress
some Oh the more common charges direct
cd against the roads are reviewed and an
swercd by Mr.. iarahan-oyer-c apitalizn-
ton, acknowledgements. extravaganza, govern
ment guarantees, excessive salaries. and so
on. Even the old prejudice against Official
! private cars is accorded tho dignity OF men
ton As observed in the beginning
| such details as authenticated facts often
possess little Significance IN the presence of
wcll-es'ablishcd suspicion, but to the fair
| minded person it Will not be wholly mean
| ingess that since 1907 the Interstate Com
| mercc Commission has closely scrutinizod
| all charges 10 capital account: that tho
| roads are standing on their own legs and
| canno: survive uneconomical management;

TO an extent which is beyond calculation

-
The miners assumed. however. that
the operators contemplated read
justment of pay In accordance with
the four standards set forth in the
proposals OF May 10.
These standards are unacceptable
to us the miners stated. They
provide only for determining rates Of
pay according to tho changes in
factors affecting the demand for, or
the supply OF labor. .rn.y assume
labor in the anthracite mines is a
commodity. the price OF which
should be determined by the same
forces which Influence the value
OF other commodities. The consid-
GRAFTON OF human standards is pre.

An TO Lower Conf Prices.
Regarding lower coal prices. which
the operators held would be possible
only through wage reductions, the
miners said:
I'VE are in accord with your CON
tcntion that prices Of coal should lie
reduced. but believe that existing
wages can be maintained and prices
TO consumers OF coal be reduced by
the lowering OF other unnecessary
Np't' "iN ~ WV l!OU Oh On =
cessive profits in industry"
The miners stated they would be
willing to arrange a settlement with
the operators on the following con-
ditions:
That you accept our requests for
U an actual eight-hour day for
men in the industry. and CD for
complete union recognition.
That existing rates Of pay be
taken as a starting point for future
deliberations"
we cannot agree to any basis OF
settlement that might reduce the
earning possibilities of the mine
workers. as their earnings under
existing rates OF pay are sufficient
only for bare standard OF sub
sistencc for themselves and their
