RATE MAKERS STILL
FAIL OF AGREEMENT
Reardon Smiths American
Agents Deny Line Has Had
to Bolster Trade.

With the intercoastal rate war In full
announcements from all sides regarding
the open rates and the Inauguration OF
new services there seems to be little
prospect or the dissenting lines to get
together and make any headway toward
the stabilzation Of freight rates. In
dlcations point to continuation of the
rate cutting war which was started some
months ago when certain lines refused
10 Join the continental conference and
Others dropped out and also began cut
ting rates
statement was issued yesterday
from the United States Navigation Com
pany. agents here for the Reardon Smith
Lines, the British shipping concern
which refused to enter the conference
and cut their rates 10 per cent. below
the then existing conference rates. This
action, coupled with the dropping out of
certain dissatisfied member lines. caused
the collapse OF the conference
The statement was issued in answer to
the intimation of certain conference
members that the extension Of service to
South Africa and a new service to Rot
terdam by Reardon Smith was merely
to cover up a falling off of the latter's
regular business. This was emphati-
cally denied by the United States Navi-
cation Company, which pointed out that
this Interpretation is most illogical, as
the regular route tonnage has also been
increased rather than decreased since
the first African service steamer was
put into operation.
The company also announced that it
Will maintain monthly service to South
Africa and will call at all ports from
Cape Town to Mombassa. although the
number of ships to be operated in this
service was not made public. Since the
rate war started the Reardon Smith
Lines have bought three new ships and
now have thirty-nine operating in va
rious routes. with tonnage of more
than $4,000 tons. There has been no
decrease in the Hamburg, London or
Liverpool routes. they say
At a meeting Of the continental con-
ference 1t was decided to throw oNen
the rates to Rotterdam and to meet the
competition of the Reardon Smith Lines.
This action was taken after consider
able discussion among the members and
was Interpreted as another active move
in the war which has been vaged for
several months between conference menu
bars and those outside. 4 few minor
changes were mace when the United
Kingdom conference met ard il was de-
cified to extend the open ratcs from Sep
tenber until October

times by employees !" In his 1919
report Mr.. Ashton expressed most
sincere appreciation for the splendid,
loyal and efficient support given at
ali times by the officers and en-
ployees Of all railroads in the North
west region.
A. H. Smith is one of the leading
railroad executives of the country.
Before Federal Control he was pres
ident of the New York Central. He
was made Regional Director Of the
Eastern District by Mr.. McAdoo and
continued in that capacity for many
months. At the conclusion of his pub
lie service he returned to the New
York Central as its head, and since
has been regarded as an authorized
spokesman for the Association OF
Railway Executives.
In his report of operations Tor 1918
Mr.. Smith said:
MEN had their hands, feet and
faces frozen digging out trains stalled
on the line or endeavoring to get
trains over the road; office, shop and
other forces turned out voluntarily
to help shovel snow and ice from
yards and switches, and officers and
employees remained on duty for long
periods under the most trying con-
ditions without question, rejecting a
spirit of self sacrifice in the common
cause and determination to contrib
ute as fully as possible in bringing
the war to a successful conclusion.
Every regional director, all OF
whom were and are now among the
foremost railroad executives, paid
similar tribute to the loyalty and CT
ficiency of the workers during the
most trying years of the nations his
tory.
Largest Return Ier Man i'll History
The facts are that during the per
iod of federal control the workers
received "less pay than any other
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-02-28
Were Railroad Workers
"SIacker, While The Ma
ton Was at War!

Perhaps the most persistentlv
stated charge against the Railroad
administrator Is tnat hundreds OF
thousands of workers were unneces-
sar1iy added to payrolls when the
railroads were under Federal control
and that Stacking" by all workers
was a common practice.
Mr.. Walker y. Hines, one OF the
country's foremost railroad managers,
who succeeded William Gibbs McAdoo
as director general OF transportation,
completely retutes this allegation.
In his report to the President,
March l, 1920, Mr.. Hines said:
"The apparent predlsposition on the
part of large portion of the public
10 attribute this policy increasing
the working personneD to a govern
mental agency has led various speak
ers and newspapers into wholly IN
correct estimate Of the situation"
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-02-28
EMPLOYEES PATRIOTIC AND
LOYAL.

GAS a step in the direction of using
more efficiently the available (raIl-
road) facilities and forces, the Rail
road Administration called on the
representatives of the organized rail
road workers to agree to certain moo
ifications in their contracts with the
railroads relative to hours o. labc>
and to agree also to notifications OF
the rules governing the promotion or
mechanics to apprentices and helpers.
sUrder these notifications the rail-
road employees patrioticaily gave Up
privileges and concessions which their
organizations had obtained through
many years of negotiation and con-
troversy, in which they agreed to an
extension of the hours OF service TO ~
per week, and to the promotion OF all
competent helpers and apprentices
to mechanics wherever a shortage OF
mechanics existed.
"The concessions granted to the gov
eminent by the labor organizations at
this time could not have been obtained
by the railroad arrangements under
any conditions.
"The employees lad 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-
ployces approximate $50,000,OO0 a
wear, Mr. McAdoo says.
Mr.. McAdoo presented 10 the Sen
ate Committee official reports Of
distinguished railroad officials attest
ing the patriotism ard efficiency of
labor.
Railroad Officials Pay Tributes
Regional Director Ashton who,
prior to federal control was president
of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad and is now president Of tho
American Railway Association, in his
report for 1918, testif!es ito the loyal
