What Federal Rail Control Cost

The federal control of railroads undoubtedly
was necessity as a war measure. Whether or
not lessons of value were learned as result of
this venture may be the subject of difference of
opinion and debate. The cost to the government
was very large. / believe when the books are
finally closed, it will aggregate approximately
$1,800,000O0o to S2.000,00000O; $1,2O0,0OO,0oO
to $1,3000oo,o0o as the general loss by reason of
the twenty-six months of operation during the
period of federal control, and $600,000,00O to
$700000,000 covering the six months guaranty
period and the adjustment with the deficit short

This was the statement made recently by
James C. Davis, director general of the United
States railroad administration. Discussing the
report common in some circles that the railroads
at the end of the federal control were returned
to their owners in much worse physical condi-
ton than when they were taken over, Davis
added that @the Investigations made by the rail

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov "a
A majority of the United States rail-
road labor board has attacked the
theory of the living wage as bit of
mellifluous phraseology, well calculat-
ed to deceive the unthinking, and de-
clared that its application would wreck
the railroad and if carried into indus
try generally would lead to communis-
tic ruin.
Frank P. Walsh, former joint-chair-
man of the national war labor board,
has said that an ambitious politician
who made advocacy of the living wage
his chief issue would be swept into
the White House on a vertiable tidal
wave of popular approval.
A leading labor publication declares
that when capital admits it must con-
tinue its existence upon public utili.
ties by refusing to pay what is con.
sidered a living wage, then capital
may just as well understand that its
life in its present form will soon be
over" A
One Great New York newspaper
says the living wage is a very real
thing to millions of people, while an
other says that so long as the living
wage was only an abstraction, nobody
quarreled with it, for the reason that
it was economically nebulous and in
nocuous. ''but when people tried to ap.
ply it concretely, its illusory charact-
er became manifest and its self-con.
tradictions began to work mischief;
a living wage is beyond prctical de.
finition, either economically or socio

road administration do not bear out this conten-
ton.
81 believe he continued, ''it is fair conclu-
sion to state that the government during federal
control, did everything humanity possible to main
tain the property in its possession at the same
standard of maintenance established by the own
ers during private control and operation, and
this conclusion is strengthened by the fact that
Immediately after federal control the railroads
did the largest business in their history, the
freight cars being loaded to greater capacity
and the locomotives moving heavier trains Now.
if the roads were returned in broken-down and
dilapidated condition, this result could not have
been accomplished.
However, further believe that the railroads
suffered serious damage as the result of federal
control, but it was an economic rather than a
physical damage.
+ when taken over, the railroads were solv-
ent, showing reasonable net earnings. When re.
turned they were being operated at deficit, and
were faced with the unpopular and difficult bur-
den of asking an increase in rates and reduction
in wages, and it is an economic rather than a
physical damage that the railroads suffered as a
result of federal control.
Mr.. Davis said that the liquidation of the
innumerable liabilities and the adjustment of the
many and complex controversies incident to this
taking was fascinating story, whether consid-
cred from professional or layman's point Of
view.

Science Sets
Food Standard.
The method of ascertaining the
food requirements of family such
as has been described is said to be
absolutely scientific. Food experts
agree that man engaged in moderate
ly hard work needs $500 calories q
day. A woman and boy of eleven
require each nine-tenths of the amount
that suffices man; a girl of five re
quires four-tenths the amount of 6
man and a boy of two, fifteen-hun
dreths. Thus the allotment for the
entire family should be 1856 times the
amount for the man.
The average dietary of $500 cal
cries consists of meat, milk, vege
tables, ct cetera, in such proportion
as to furnish the body in carbo-hy
drates, mineral constituents, acids
and other substances. This calls fol
four to five ounces of meat, two ounc
es of fish, Is ounces of dairy products
II to IL ounces of milk, II ounces oil
cereals, 16 to 20 ounces of vegetables
16 to 20 ounces of fruits, two ounces
of fats, and two ounces of sugar, OF
their equivalents, each day On this
basis the family would require tota
meat and fish equivalent of 9.5!
pounds per week, S.89 quarts of milk
966 pound loaves of bread, Isl
pounds Of butter and oleomargerine
313 pounds Of sugar, 750 pounds o.
flour, peck of potatoes, about /.
pounds of other vegetables, and so on

prepared it was found that it would

land senate during. the great reform
movement in 1898 and during the Sec
.ond term insisted on being made presi-
dent. Robert McLane, mayor of Balti-
more in 1908, appointed Bruce city So
licitor. Later when his term expired
he was appointed general counsel to
the public service commission, a posi-
ton he held until nominated for the
senate.
Bruce is a Democrat of the old
school and in some respects like Wood

the University of Virginia. While
studying there Bruce was awarded a
medal for the best essay published in

competitor was Wilson.

his college course, a volume of sketch

| logically"
From the foregoing it is apparent
that there are wide differences OF
opinion over the question. Not only
is there a debate as to whether it is
right or even possible that all indus.
tries should pay all workers living
wage, but it is almost impossible to
find any two people who will agree
as to what constitutes living wage
A lively controversy is in prospect
that may last for many months and it
is of course inevitable that congress
will have the problem on ITS hands
when it comes to consider additional
railroad legislation.
Meanwhile there is one phase of
| the subject to which little attention
has as yet been paid save by scientists
and other experts. Much is heard as
! to the cost of living and figures are
| produced that are as variable as the
communities from which they are
! quoted. lin fact, the national indus
/ trial conference board has been led
by its investigations to the conclusion
that there is no such thing as the
minimum cost of living for the coun-
! try as q whole.
Quantity Budget
Is Possible.
However, economists agree that
While there probably always will be
differences of opinion and fact as tC
what it should cost or actually does
! cost an individual or family to live
it should be possible to ascertain ap
approximately INV much food, how
much clothing and what housing ia
| cilities will be required to maintain
the average family. By this way they
mean that a quantity budget is posst
HE although a cost budget may be de
batable. In other words, in order tc
live and keep in good health every in
dividual requires a certain amount
of food, certain articles of clothing
and home that meets at least Ger
tain minimum standards.
Government experts in the depart
ment of labor have worked out this
j quantity budget for a family consist
ing of man, his wife and three chill
dren-a boy of IL years, a girl of five
and another boy of two. In a genera
way the budget includes the follow

Housing in low-rent neighborhood!
