Railroad Administrator called on the
representatives. of the organized rail-
and to agree also TO notifications of
the rules governing the promotion OF
mechanics to apprentices and helpers
Under these notifications, the
railroad employees periodically gave
up privileges and concessions which
their organizations had obtained
Through many years of negotiations
and controversy, in which they agreed
to an extension of the hours of ser
vice to 70 per week, and to the pro-
motion of all competent helpers and
apprentices tosmechanics wherever a
shortage of mechanics existed.
THE concessions granted to the
government by the labor organiza-
tions at this time could not haye
been obtained by the railroad man
agements under any conditions.
THE employees had previously re-
fused to make similar concessions to
the railroad corporations, because of
their belief that once they gave up
these privileges they would never be
restored under private control"
The savings resulting to the rail
roads from these concessions by en-
ployees approximated $50,000,000 a
year, Mr.. McAdoo says.

DERHAPS the most persistently
1 stated charge against the Rail

DERHAPS the most persistently
i stated charge against the Rail
road Administration is that hundreds
of thousands of workers were unnec-
essarily added to payrolls when the
railroads were under federal control
and that Stacking" by all workers
was a common practice.
Mr.. Walker d. Hines, one of the
cousltry's foremost railroad mana
gers, who succeeded William Gibbs
McAdoo as director general of trans
portation, completely refutes this al
legation.
In his report to the President,
March 1, 1920, Mr.. Hines said:
The apparent predisposition on the
part of a large portion of the pubic
to attribute this policy increasing
the working personneD to govern
mental agency has led various speak
.ers and newspapers into a wholly IN
correct estimate of the situation"
Working Hours less Under Federal
Control
Practically all railroad workers,
Mr. Hines said, were paid by the
hour, therefore the number of men
employed was of no significance. The
outstanding fact is that the govern
ment actually paid for less hours than
during private operation. Mr.. Hines
in his report said
THE conrolling fact in this matter
of the number of employees IS that
the number is determined by the
number of hours they work per day
Eight hours of work can be done IN
day by employees if they work
10 hours each, while it would take
10 employees working 8 hours each
to do the same amount of work.
THE eight-hour day has been es-
tablished as a general policy of the
Railroad Administration. This
change of policy has undoubtedly
brought about an increase in the
number of employees, but it has not
brought about an increase in the
number of hours of work paid for
ut is the number of hours of
work paid for and not the number of
employees which is the significant
thing with respect to operating eN-
penSeS.
"The fact that the number of
hours of work PAID for by the Rail
road Administration in 1919 was less
than III 1916, 1917 or 1918"
The efficiency of the workers. dur
ing federal control is vouched for by
Mr.. Hines, who declares that they
delivered greater number of traffic
units per man hour than had ever
before been obtained.
Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce, Jan
uary "a, 1922, Mr.. Hines said that
the traffic units of service per man
hour had increased from 80 per cent
in 1915 to SO per cent in 1917 and
1913 and to 100 per cent in 1919.
"A greater number of traffic units
per man hour than had ever been OBJ
tanned before"
Evidence corroborating Mr.. Hines
tribute to the efficiency of workers
was given by Mr.. McAdoo, former di-
rector general of railroads, in testi-
iony before the Senate Committee on
interstate Commerce, February /,
1922. Mr.. McAdoo said:

pended on the conference was en-
tirely wasted.
"All of the reviewing must neces-
sarily be done in one place whether
under federal censorship or whether
under that of the National Board of
Review. If federal censorship
were established, the censoring would
have to be done in Washington or
New York.
I'm spite of every possible means
which the national board has been
able to employ to ascertain and
keep itself fully informed as to the
development of sentiment in regard
to partiular types of pictures in vasi-
Gus parts of the country, the National
Board of Review still remains omen
to attack because it passes this or
that picture which is afterward
found that only by building up its ma
tion-wide committee of national adj
Vlsers, it is able to keep its decisions
attuned to public opinion. Reports
are received from these national adj,
Visers, who are located in cities from
Maine to California and who keep
the national board informed of senti-
ment in their localities. Federal
censorship in country so large as
the United States and with such va
lfled sectional standards and preiu
does IS entirely impossible as it
makes no provision for local senti-
nent and people in the small towns
would be compelled to accept the
standards of the large metropolitan
centers.
Federal censorship will never
work in America where the whole
theory of democracy is based afsun
the right of the smallest eomnnssSty

Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-03-27

, as this can be done without interfer-
ing with the rights of a larger group
either in state or nation.
Throw the work of a censorship
committee into politics or center its
authority in the hands of a central
commission, and the work will be-
come as arbitrary and bureaucratic
under federal control as it has PROV
ed under state control. The whole
question of motion picture censor
ship boils down to the fact that the
people who hate the pictures and do
no go to picture shows do not trust
the good intentions and good spirit
and wholesome mindedness of those
who love the pictures and enjoy the
picture shows
The California conference of CEN
sors proved that the censors not only
do not now agree on what is moral,
: but never will. The only thing that
they agree on is the fact that they
all want their salaries raised as often
as possible, and you will notice that
the minute state censorship is es-
tabhshed with small appropriation
the board of censorship appears at
the next session of the legislature
with bill to give them more power
and more money, just as the New
York state commission is now asking
Tor an increased appropriation and
inst as the Pennsylvania censorship
board started with a small appropri-
alton and now spends over $4,000
