DECLINE RAIL DEVELOPMENT
 AND REASONS

ment regulation is almost wholly re- sponsible for the decline of railroad development and existing shortage of transportation, Charles H. Mark ham, president of the Illinois Cen tral railroad, told members of the Railway Business Association at the annual dinner here.
 For ten years before the war, he said, unwise regulation kept down the rates and reduced the net re- turn of the railroads, although wages, prices and returns earned in other lines of business were increasing
 "The outstanding fact regarding the present shortage of transporta- tion is that it has been met at the very beginning of a period of busi- ness revival" he said.
 "In this respect 1t creates situ- ation unprecedented in our history -a situation which should cause every farmer and business man, every railway regulating official, every public man, every wage work CT, to pause and reflect seriously.
 "In past periods of business re- vival the increase in freight busi ness has gone on until it has reached a point 35 to 15O per cent higher than ever before. We may well ask ourselves whether, with the railways finding it difficult to sur pass the freight record Of 1920, they can be expected within few months or years to handle such an increase in tonnage as past experience shows would only be normal in period of general revival"
 MT. Markham said the situation is due partly to the coal and shop employees strikes but added that the large contributing factor was the more rapid development of the pro- duction and copmerce of the coun- try than the development of the fa- cll1tleS or the ra1lTOaus
 "Clearly it is essential to the well fare of the country that the rail- ways should as rapidly as practic- able, put their existing facilities in good condition, and that they should for some years rapidly improve and expand their properties" he con tinued "The only thing which ever will enable and cause the railways to carry out a sufficient program of expansion will be to let them earn sufficient net returns to raise the new capital required for that pur- pose"
 Repeal of the rate making provi' sions of the Esch- -Cummins Trans portation Act would be the most deadly blow that could be aimed at railroad credit and the nations good faith and prosperity, he said, adding that it would tend to cause chronic shortage of transportation which would seriously hinder all increase of production and commerce as long as it lasted.
 'Tt is plain to very man who thinks that the wages labor can be paid the income the farmer can get, the profits that can be derived from business, depend in the long run upon the total amount of produc- tion and commerce that can be car ried on. If the necessities, com forts and luxuries each of our peo- ple have is to be increased, we must increase OUT total production and commerce more rapidly than our population. We have always done this in America But nothing could be more obvious than that the in crease in production and commerce which is vital to the welfare of all cannot be secured without a corre- spending increase in transportation

Seattle Letter

SEATTLE, Nov. Representa- tives of the Alaska Government rail- way and the Alaska and Pacific Steam ship Companies are working out plans for a larger tourist travel to the northern Territory next year. The Alaska Steamship Go. has recently awarded contract for new million dollar steamship for the Alaska ser vice, which will give accommodations to at least thousand additional Alas kan tourists next season. The com pany will maintain a sailing to Sew ard via ports, every seven days and additional sleeping cars will be ready on the railroad. An effort is also being made by the steamship companies to lengthen the tourist season one month.
 Actual oil drilling operations will be started in the near future near Kama talk, by the Standard Oil Company and the Associated Oil Company, drilling machinery having been landed last month. A road to the site, sixteen miles long, is being built.
 During September Alaska merchan- disc shipped to the United States was valued at $11,295,755, according to the report of Collector of Customs Me Bride. Sealskins from Pribiloff amounted to s1,O6O,OO0 which were brought to Seattle.
 A feature of the annual meeting of the members of the Washington State Press Association, at the State Uni versity in Seattle January 20, will be dinner composed entirely of Alas kan products. Governor Hart of this state will be present and Governor Scott c. Bone, of Alaska and news paper men of the Territory and ad- joining states will be invited. Prac- LlCdlly dll ScClIOIlo OI aldSho hdNC OOSAi called upon to furnish food products for the dinner, and the menus will be printed on paper from the paper company at Speel River.
 Seattle is to be decorated in unique style for the Xmas shopping season. The entire business district will be festooned with evergreens and trees December 1, and decorative features will make Seattle the most distinctive Xmas city on the coast. Retail busi- ness is unusually good in Seattle and several of the largest stores reported the best October business in history. Return of Canadian money to par and removal of exchange has brought many Canadians here to buy.

TIE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILWAY COMPANY


While no official notification
has been gwen this Company,
the newspapers carry as an
item of news the information
that certain classes of our en-
ploycs have been requested to
vote on the question OF wheth-
or or not they will accept GER
tain rulings OF the United
States Railroad Labor Board.
Insofar as shop men are
concerned, | understand that
they are requested to vote
upon the following questions:
l. Whether they will &C
cord to the railroads the
right to have picce-work
done in their shops; also
whether they will accord to
the railroads the right to
contract their shop plants
to outsiders.
AS this Company has not
asked its employees to accept
the piece-work basis and has
not contracted with anybody
to work its shops, there are no
questions of that kind pend
ing so far as it is concerned.
and there is, consequently, no
occasion for balloting on the
question of striking on account
OF such grievances.
2. Whether they will
abide by rules 6, 10, IL, ID,
Is, 46 and III, contained in
Decision No. 222 and Ad-
dendum 6 thereto of the
United States Railroad
Labor Board.
3. Whether they will
abide by United States

cision No. 1896. providing
for a reduction in their pay
effective July LIST, 1929.
understand that the other
employees who are being asked
to vote are also agrieved at
other decisions of the Labor
Board affecting them.

hearings. at which al were y
