Governor Nestos Denies Disagreement
with Miss Nelson

: Governor Nestos denies the rumor
that there has been any disagreement
between himself and Miss Nelson,
state superintendent of public instuuc-
ton, rumor which was current at the
nonpartisan state convention.
Asked concerning the reports Miss
Nelson said: "It is news to me. So
far as l am aware it is absolutely
false" =.
Governor Nestos denied upon ques-
tioning that there was disagreement
between him and Miss Nelson on
question of policy.
81 am sure that as far as am con-
cerned, there is no trouble brewing"
Governor Nestos said, "and there has
been no indication as far as l know
that Miss Nelson's attitudt toward the
administration is not friendly. We
have discussed number of matters
and have always agreed upon he pol

THE TRUTH ABOUT
THE RAILROADS
Were Railroad Workers "Slackers"
While the Nation Was at War?

Perhaps the most persistently stat
ed charge against the Railroad Admin
istration.is that hundreds of thousands
of workers were unnecessarily added
to the payrolls when the railroads
were under federal control and that
Stacking" by all workers was COM
mon practice.
Mr.. Walker D. Hines, one of the
country's foremost railroad mana
gers, who succeeded William. McAdoO
as director general of transportation,
completely refutes this allegation.
In his report to the President, March
/, 1920, Mr.. Hines said:
"The apparent predisposition on the
part Of large portion of the public
to attribute this policy Increasing
the working personnel) to a govern
mental agency has led various speak
ers and newspapers into wholly
incorrect 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 out:
standing fact is that the governmnt
ACTUALLY pdlu lOT lcSS uOuIS GAA0u OuA
ing private operation. Mr.. Hines in
his report said:
"The controlling fact in this mat
ter of the number Of employees il
that the number is determined by thu
number of hours they work per day
Eighty hours of work can be done in
day BY employees if they work Il
hours each while it would take II
employees working hours each t.
do the same amount of work.
1T is the number of hours of worl
paid for and not the number of EN-
ployees which is the; significant thinl
with respect to operating expenses.
''The fact is that the number o.
hours of work paid for by the Rail
road Administration in 1919 was les'
than in 1916, 1917 or 1918"
The effiency of the workers during
federal control is vouched for by Mr.
Hines, who declares that they de
livered a greater number Of traffic

that is most assuredly true when it
comes to those who are training the
future citizens of the commonwealth.
We also believe in the great need Of
economy in the government of the
state and in the administration Of
every political subdivision within the
The Ward County independent., 1922-04-06

state, and do not believe that these
economies should be exercised in one
department or field Of endeavor alone
but that we must try to find every
method of saving money that can be
accomplished without injuring or ser
iously handicapping the essential in
The Ward County independent., 1922-04-06

terests involved, and we believe that
by having every political subdivision
and the states administration in all
of it's department cooperating along
this line that a great saving may re-
suit, and the tax burden materially
lightened,"
