Importance this one Of transporta-
tiOn. In our complex and interde.

Is essential TO our very existence.
Let us pass for the moment the
menace in the possible paralysis Of
such service as we have and note
the failure, for whatever reason, 70
expand our transportation 20 meet

The census Of 1880 recorded a pop
ulati0n Of b0O00,000. In two decades
more We may reasonably expect 20
count thrice that number In the
three decades ended IN 1920 the coun-
try's freight by rail increased from
63i, ,00o,0 900 tons 70 1884, 900 900 tons;
that is 70 say, while our population
was increasing less than 20 per cent
the freight movement Increased over
2b0 per cent.
We have built 40 per cent Of the
worlds railroad mileage, and yet find
II inadequate 70 our present require
ments. When we contemplate the
inadequscy Of to-day il Is easy 70
believe that the next few decades
will witness the paralysis Of our
transporthtion-u social scheme
OF a complete Reorganization on some
new basis. Mindful Of the tremcn-
dous costs Of betterments, extensions
and expansions. and mindful OF the
staggering debts Of the world to-day,
the dificulty IL magnihed. Here is
a problem demanding wide vision and
the avoidance Of mere makeshifts.
No matter what the errors Of the
past. no matter how we acclaimed
construction and then condemned op-
erations in the past, we have the
transportation and the honest invest
ment in the transportation which
sped Us on % what we are. and we
face conditions which reflect its in
adequacy to-day, It's greater made
quacy tomorrow, and we contemplate
transportation costs which much Of
the traffic can not and will not con-
tinue 70 pay.
Manifestly, we have need 10 begin
on plans 70 coordinate all transpor-
tation facilities. We should more ef-
fectiyely connect up our rail lines
with our carriers by sea. We ought
TO reap some benefit from the hun
dreds Of millions expended on inland
waterways, proving out capacity 20

70 turn the motor truck into rail-
way feeder and distributor instead Of

Doubtless our own people have
emerged from the World War tumult

powers; probably we have made
larger progress toward reconstruc-
tion. Surely We have been fortunate
IN diminlsEng unemployment. and
our industrial and business activities
which are the lifebleod Of our ma.
teTial existence. have been restored

Of like length in the history Of the
world. Had we escaped the coal and
railway strikes, which had no excuse
for their beginning and less justih-
cation for their delayed settlement
we should have done Infinitely better.
But labor was insistent on holding 20
the war heights, needless forces Of
reaction sought the pre-war levels,
and both were wrong. In the folly
OF conflict our progress was hindered,
and the heavy cost has not yet been
fully estimated. There can be
neither adjustment nor the penalty
OF the failure 10 readjust in which all
do not somehow participate.
The railway strike accentuated the
dificuity of the American farmer.
The FIRST distress Of readjustment
came to the farmer, and II will not

he Is relieved. The distress brought
20 the farmer does not affect him
alone. Agricultural ill-fortune Is a
national ill-fortune. That one-fourth
Of our population which produces the

participate in the good fortunes Of
the nation, else there Is none worth

beginning. and its westward march

New-York tribune., 1922-12-09

In a previous address 20 the Con-
gress / called 70 your attention the
insunicieney Of power to enforce the
decisions OF the Railroad Labor
Board. Carriers have ignored its
decision, on the one hand; railway
workmen have challenged It's de-
eision by strike, on the other hand.
The intent Of Congress to cstab-
lish a tribunal 20 which railway labor
and managers may appeal respecting
questions Of wages and working con-
ditions cannot be too strongly COM
rnended. II Is vitally important that
some such agency should be a guar
anty against suspended operation.
The public must be spared even the
threat Of discontinued service.
Sponsoring the railroads as we do,
II Is an obligation that labor shall
be assured the highest justice and
every proper consideration Of waRo
and working conditions, but II Is
an equal obligation 10 see that no
concerted action IN forcing demands
shall deprive the public Of the trans
portation service essential 10 its very
existence. II - uDh lNlpbahADlt ~
safeguard public interest, because
the decrees Of the board are unen-
foreeable against either employer or
employee.
The Labor Board itself is not so
constituted as best 10 serve the pub
lie interests. With six partisan mem
bers on board Of nine, three par
tisans nominated by the employees
and three by the railway managers,
II is inevitable that the partisan
viewpoint Is maintained throughout
hearings and IN decisions handed
down. Indeed, the few exceptions 20
q strictly partisan expression in de-
cisions thus far rendered have been
followed By accusations Of betrayal
Of the partisan interests represented.
Only the public group Of three is
free 20 function In unbiased de-
cisions. Therefore the partisan
membership may well be abolished,
and decisions should be made by an
impartial tribunal.
