julius Kruttschmitt Declares
That System Had Not "Brok-

Grafton When Taken By Gov
eminent and We're Returned
In As Good Condition As They
Were Before.
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. ]

Washington, D. c., April 12.-Ju.
Illus Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
Southern Pacific board, appeared
today before the senate interstate
commerce committee and denied
statements by William G. McAdoo
former director general, that the
railroads had broken down" under
private operation and were return
ed to their owners by the govern
ment in as good condition as when
taken over.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt quoted state
ments by Mr.. McAdoo, President
Wilson and other officials that fed
eral control was adopted, not be-
cause of private breakdowns, but to
obtain CO. ordination of transporta-
ton during the war.
1.-TWO bad features that stood out
prominently in the government OPP
Grafton of railroads which were re-
sponsible for most of its shortcom-
ings and subjected it to most criti-
cism," said Mr. Kruttschnitt, was
extreme Capitalization of authority
established by the first director (Mr
McAdoo) and attributable to ais
temperament and unwillingness to
delegate adequate and necessary
power to his local on1cerS, and eX-
cessive and unintelligent Standard
cation.
Destruction of Discipline.
ITO the first must be attributed
the destruction of morale and dis
cipline, the teaching of labor to ig-
more and condemn their officers, and
to look to Washington to save them
from punishment for neglect Of duty
and breaches of discipline, for in
creases of pay and indirect increas
es for services never performed, and
double pay for the same hours OF
service, all of which produced poor
service and indifference to the pub
lie. The public be damned policy
unjustly and improperly accredited
to private railroad management was
inaugurated and worked to such an
undreamed degree that at the end
of the war the return of railroads
to private management ment was
demanded by those who used them
with substantial unanimity"
With respect to conditions Of the
carriers as turned back the witness
asserted that renewal of rails, ties
and ballast were skimped to the
danger point" and .'tne equipment
scattered all over the United States
had been given scant attention and
was in the worst condition ever

FIFTEEN PER CENT CUT FOR
HIGHWAY LABOR
State Department Effects Saw
ing; This Will Amount To
About $25O,0oo AS Far AS
Trunk Roads Are Concerned
In Minnesota; Business Pro-
position, Says Commissioner.

Reductions of about Is per cent
in labor wage scales on Minnesota
trunk highways this year will ag-
gregate more than $250,000, &C
oording to an estimate in the cur
rent bulletin of the state highway
department.
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, said the depart
ment which is committed to bus
mess administration is following the
lead of private employers and also
of county road authorities in max
ing the cuts. In justice to tax pay
ers, he said, there must be a drop
in maintenance and other like oper
alton costs in proportion to those in
road construction prices. Absence
of complaints were regarded by
highway officials as evidence that
the new schedules are fair and gen
orally satisfactory.
Pay For PatroImen
Trunk highway patrolmen, each
of whom furnishes a team and equip
ment, will receive so cents an hour
this against SIS to rs cents last
season, and in several districts the
new rate of SIS cents. Men will be
paid Is to 80 cents an hour against
80 to 40 cents, and the team rate
will be rs cents compared to 80 to
40 cents, additional horses pro rata.
Truck drivers will get 40 cents in
stead of so cents an hour.
Monthly schedules are cut to $3.50
to $3.50 to $170 in the case of tract
or operators; to $40 to 1928 to $40
for grader men and to $3.50 from
SITS for foremen. Sc. 49,.
The scales are in line with those
paid by counties for road work and
by other employers in the various
sections, according to the bulletin.
The lower wage movement through
out the state and the policy of
striving to get the biggest value for
every road dollar combined to bring
the reductions.

FOLKS CAN SAVE
CASH;;PLAN TOLD
SENATOR WIDELL SUCCESS
TIoN TO KAToITES
State Would Pay For Nineteen
Foot Wide Paving From
Marshall Street To Blue Earth
River Bridge, West Front
Years Delay; Could Take Ad-
vantage of Trunk Highway,

Postponement of the paving OF
West Front street for another year
is advocated by Senator Gustaf
WideI as a step toward economy,
Senator Widell explained in an in
terview with The Free Press today
that ne has no property in West
Mankato, but as a taxpayer OF this
city, he likes to see economy prac-
ticed whenever possible. 1t is his
opinion that if the paving of West
Front street is put off for another
year, that eighteen feet Of the cen
ter of that street will be paved by
the state Of Minnesota under the
Babcock law.
Saving of $4,000
Mr.. Widell said that according to
a conservative estimate, this strip
of paving would cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, and a large part
of this would fall on the city at
large in the way OF intersections,
etc. Whatever fell on the city could
be saved by delay and, the abut-
ting property owners could be BEN
Gifted also.
Front street from one emu 10 the
other is one of the trunk line roads,
which it is proposed to pave under
the Babcock law. A. survey is now
being made on that trunk highway
between Madelia and Lake Crystal,
and over this part at least the road
will be brought TO grade, and soon
afterwards paved as far as Lake
Crystal next year. The road is now
payed from st. James to Madelia,
and a long distance from Worth
Mgton this way.
People Can Think II Over
Senator Widell said he was mer-
ely calling the attention of the peo-
rle TO the matter so that they could
think over the expense, and deter
mine whether ii would be worth
while to take advantage of saving
of at least $38, 900 by waiting until
the portion of the street, from the
Blue Earth bridge to Marshal street
is paved by the state.
Also a couple of blocks of paving
that the street car company feels
it should not pay for, would be paid
for Dy the state.
