ITALIAN RAILROADS
 SADLY MISMANAGED
Such Is Claim Made by Italy's
 New Prime Minister

Rome, Dec. 20.--Benito Mussolini, Italy's new prime minister, who, un- til nine years ago was known as a socialist, has begun his tenure Of of- flee by inexorably laying the axe to the root of all public service insti- tutions owned or managed by the state. such as railways, telephones. telegraphs, letter and parcel posts, which show deficit. and even some othersswhich are more-or less success fully run.
 Thes railways in Italy are perhaps the most striking example of the diffi- culties and weaknesses of state man. agement. During IT years of such control, declares Professor Ugo An coma, an expert on financial questions, they have ceased to be the largest producers of national profit, and are today virtually owned by the railroad men. Before the great war the rail- ways brought in from 40.000,000 to 50,000,000 lire year, which might be taken as interest on the Ave and a half billion lire which had been spent on constructing them. The deficit in 1921 was over "a billion lire, al- though the price of tickets is now three times what 1t was, and it is said that the deficit for 1922 will be still greater.
 Deficiency of Material
 Tn fact, says Professor Ancona, tho net result of government management Is disorder on all lines, deficiency of material, deplorable condition of run ming stock, service deteriorated and discipline entirely wrecked. The num- Der of employees and their wages have enormously increased; the aver age rate of pay having risen from 1000 lire year before the war te over 10000 lire today To this should be added the greatly increased number of strikes and the fact that thefts con the railway, which used to amount to about 10 million lire . year, have now risen to over one hundred million. Five billion and a half lire were spent in GO years in order to construct the railways; two and half lire have been spent dur ly to enlarge them.
 PrOfeSSOr AnCOna says 1uTLHeT that these troubles are due in large meas- ure to the fact that the Italian rail- road lines run through sections of the country each with widely different economic, social and climatic condi- tions, thus creating complicated and difficult system impossible for the state to manage successfully. Politi- cal interests have been permitted toe much influence in deciding where new lines were to be built.
 Another great drawback to the prosperity of Italian railways Profes- sor Ancona says, is that the workers have insisted on an eight hour day for all employees, even for those whose duty consists in opening and shutting a gate at level crossing once or twice a day. This eight hours question has added 10000 o, 50,000 to the number of the personne and something likely 500 million lire tersthes expense of 0peration.s1 The only remedy likely to bring'in reigr ok economy and efficiency, according to this financial expert, is the radi- cal one of gradually ceding to diff ferent private companies the lines which, as one great whole, have beer such failure in the hands of tn, state.

NEW YORK SELLING

Fuel Cartcd Away in Baby Carriages. Whcclbarrows and Fiivyers When

New York. Dec. 20.-With the cold est weather yet experienced this win ter, intensifying the discomfort caused by the coal shortage, the fuel ad- ministration put into effect plans for the relief of the smaller buyers who have been the hardest hit by the famine.

 Mir, Barnes said the decrease of 1,700,000 in the number of farm workers since poo was not 'evidence of the deeadenee of agriculture" be- cause improved machinery "has en- abled fewer workers to get more pro- duction and the men who have been released have been able to supply the brawn for the four great industrial developments the last 20 years--in automobiles, electricity. motion plc- lures and chemical work"
 He declared the great problem be- fore the nation was to distribute wealth "so that 1t will not concen- trate into the hands of few" since, If that were permitted, "the broad purchasing market necessary to ab- sorb our production" would be lack ing.
 Mir. Barnes said no constructive thought had appeared in the present discussion of the transportation prob lem. He pointed to the investment since 1907 of $15,00o,000 1000 to $20,- 900, 100000 In automobile trucks, $6.000, 100000 in good roads and s5. 900. 100000 in service stations, compared with the relatively small investment in railroad terminal facil- tiles, as indicating establishment of an individualistic competitive system of transportation which will not fall under the bane of over-regulation."
 Motor trucks, he added, are haul ing more than one-half as much freight as the railroads, and while a good deal of this is first haul to the railroads 1t shows what can be done
