Hello folks, here we are again,
iust have been too lazy to write the
news up. We were well pleased
with the election and hope that they
will carry out all their promises
made In the campaign.
our meeting last Thursday was
well attended and we are very glad
to see many of the boys coming
back to the told, after being absent
for some time. Our new bulge and
flag arrived and oh boy" they
sure are keen, and all the boys are
very we'll pleased. We are proud
OF them and hope to get a chance
to show them to you soon.
We arc planning on an overnight
hike in the near future, as the boys
are very anxious TO get out once
more, and then we have several
tests that must be passed as soon
as possible.

Nineteen Sunflowers reported at
the Red Cross work rooms to enroll
in the class being instructed in first
aid and homo nursing last Tuesday.
We are hoping this class can be
divided for convenience In handling
and so that the more advanced
scouts may do additional work and
secure their Rcd Cross certificates.
Our initiation party last Saturday
evening was n "howiing'' success
ffom start to finish. The candle
service was very ably conducted by
Lenore Preisker, during which Iris
Vance, Cleo Burls, Allie Mcmahon,
Madll Emerson, Edwina Brown and
Gala Crandall pledged themselves
as willing to abide by the girl scout
laws and promise.
Madell Emerson passed her cook
ing and Cleo Burk her ironing test
last week.
One girl was absent from each
patrol last Monday so our attend
ance was not quite up 10 the stand
ard, rs it. usually is.
The stunts ct our party last SAT-
urday were unusually clever and
original. Patrol gave comical
tragedy entitled, king OF the Canni-

exhibition OF "fainting:" patrol 9, n
gym class; patrol 4. a country
school; patrol 5. Cinderella: patrol
6, gave us their personal history in
song. and Maruerite Mclaughlin of
patrol 4, made her debut in public
speaking.
Gladys Rupp, Anna Hardy,
Eleanor McCuen and Hilda Essley
composed the com mittee In charge of
our party and we voted them royal
entertainers. The girls by acting on
this committee, passed one OF the
requirements Of the hostess badge
in a creditable manner.
We were delighted to have Miss
Blades, our former captain with US
at our initiation service. We were
disappointed in not having the troop

because of bad weather. The third
time is the charm. they say; so

that Justice as well as the mainten-

"Since that time the wages have

more, call your attention TO the
fact that the national agreements,
which have been the SUBJECT of so
much recent unfavorable comment,
were entered into during the direc-
tor generalship Of Walker D. Hines,
man of unblemished integrity and
conceded ability, who was for years
prior to Federal control perhaps the
foremost spokesman Of the railroad
! industry"
Now let US return to Director
General McAdoo, who managed the
roads during the first year Of gov
eminent control
Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce Feb
ruary l, 1922, Mr.. McAdoo said.
"The outstanding fact is that af-
ter private operation of the railroads
had resulted in bringing them in
1917 to such a deplorable condition
as to be a menace to the country
(see testimony of President Samuel
Rea, of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
quoted in Bulletin No l Of this is
sue, the government operated these
roads for the year 1918 with practi-
cally the same plant as in 1916
the same lack of locomotives, the
same poorly repaired freight cars,
the same inadequate facilities and
terminals and out of date round
! houses and repair shops-met every
demand upon the transported sys'
tenn of the country; paid living
wage to labor; paid to the owners
over 5000, 100000 in rentals, which
they could not possibly have earned
under private control"
The first problem that faced tbs
Railroad Administration was to feed
Europe and supply munitions to the
soldiers in the field.
In December, 1917, the railroads
under private management-had de-
livered at Atlantic ports 100000 tons
less than the amount of food fixed as
necessary to support the allied mas

rates." referred to by McAdoO, were
from 25 to 40 per cent lower than
the rates now being charged under
private ownership.
Director General Hines, in his final
report to President Wilson, summar-
izing the results of Federal control,
said:
MY deliberate judgment is that
Federal control has not cost a cent
more than private control would
have cost in the same difficult per-
iod, but, on the contrary, has cost
considerably less
Mr.. Hines pointed out that the
Railroad Administration might have
wiped out the so-called "defict" by
raising rates, but, he said, that
would have resulted in a still fur

costs than it did in fact pay"
1t should be noted here that if
freight and passenger rates had been
as high during the entire period OF
Federal control as they are now, I'M
der private control, the Railroad Adj
ministration could have met every
charge against it and would have had
a surplus of at least 81 10000 600
to turn back to the public treasury
Mr.. Hines declared the railroads
themselves were among the princi-
pal benefciaris of Federal control,
despite the complaints they have
been circulating through their press
agents.

t;on If terminals, etc, had resulted IN
saving of s11S,467 ,249 10.
As n result of the increased efflc--
iencv in locomotive maintenance and
oneration the shortage of locomotives
was overcome and a surplus estab-
lished. -.
"Owing to this increased output"
saws Mr.. McAdoo, ION January L.
1919. there were 1884 locomotives IN
GOOD condition in storage, something
which had never before existed dur
ing a period of heavy traffic. There
were no good order locomotives IN
storage when the government took
control January /, 1918"
AT the end of Federal control the
government turned back to the car
riers zoos more locomotives, 20
Sl5 more freight cars and 1,O5l more
passenger cars than was received by
it.
Mr. McAdoo called attention to the
boasts of the railroad managers that
they had handled an unprecedented
amount of business in 1920, immedi>
ately after the roads had gone back
to private management.
"The boosted performance in 1920"
said Nh. McAdoo, sis due not only to
the fact that the government had
greatly improved the physical con-
dition of the properties and made
them a more efficient operating ma
chine, but because, on the petition Of
the railroad executives within two
and half months after they had
regained possession CT the railroads,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
restored the practices Of the United
States Railroad Administration in
/ order to enable the railroad eXecu>
tives to successfully meet the condi-
tons with which they were faced 3"
! Mr.. McAdoo presented report
made by Regional Directors Smith,
Markham, Maher, Winchell. Ash
ton, Holden and Bush. all nationally
| known railroad executives, in which
! thew stated:
"Tha measures taken during the
year 1918 call for no apologies. They
were caused by war conditions and
the efficient operation of the rail
roads in support of the government
during the war justifies every act
Of the administration during that
period
Mr.. McAdoo said it "was unfair
and stuDid" to criticise government
control because during the first wear
there was a deficit" of $216.OO0.0O0
after the government aid given
the roads S9O0,00O,OO0 as rentals.
The roads, therefore. in that year
actually earned profit Of 1854, 900,
600 more than operating expenses
This deficit was directly trace
able to two sources:
~ Inefliciency of railroad execu-
tiVes like Rea of the Pennsylvania,
Willard Of the Baltimore and Ohio.
Belser Of the Jersey Central and
! Kruttschnitt Of the Southern Pacific,
! who had been permitted to run their
roads for the first five months of
Federal control At the end of that
time the men named were dismissed
and others were forced to change
/ their tactics, but the damage was
done and hundreds Of millions had
been lost to the government

nat it shocked the moral sense Of
mankind"
Tho government employed its own
funds for capital expenditures and
in this connection advanced TO the
roads 100000, 1000.
On top Of all this the roads were
handed back in very much better
Dhysical condition than when taken
over. In order to put private, mana
cement firmly on its feet, the gov
e,.rY,ont cave the roads more than
5000 600 900 during the first sig
months OF private operation, loaned
them hundreds Of millions more and
authorized the Interstate Commerce
Commission to advance rates from
% to 40 per cent beyond war time
levels.
And still they are not satisfied.
