Uncle Harry Talks About
Reduced Railroad Rates and Wages

connection with the subject of our
tank. Business. in the United States
has been poor for more than a year
and there has been a great deal OF
unemployment. one cause OF these
two conditions is the fact that our
countrys foreign trade has suffered
because the people OF Europe have
not been able to buy American made
goods. Another fact TO consider is
that the high freight rates charged
by the railroads and the falling off
of foreign trade have prevented
many of our industries from operat-
ing on the big scale that they usually
do.
Another fact is that the Interstate
Commerce Commission which has
authority in such matters recently
ordered the railroads 10 reduce
freight rates. This will make It
cheaper to ship raw material. agri-
cultural products and manufactured
goods and that will encourage bust
ness.
But right after the reduction IN
freight rates the United States Rail-
road Labor Board ordered reduc-
lions in the wages paid to more than
a million employees OF the railroad.

These wage cuts were protested by
the officials OF the railroad employees
unions who are the representatives
OF the workers. The railroads said
that with the lowering OF freight
rates their resources would be re-
duced and that therefore they would
have TO reduce their expenses and
that only by reducing wages could
they meet the cuts in rates.
There Is no doubt that the cost
OF living is somewhat lower than 81
was a year ago and that wages and
profits that went up unusually high
during the war were bound 20 come
down. The spokesmen for the rail-
road employees say. however. that the
