COST OF u. S. CONTROL
PUT AT $500, 900, 900
Cuyler Makes Estimate Of OPP
erations for 1921.

The effect on revenues of the national
agreements between railroads and en-
ployees during the period of Federal
control was made the subject OF let
ter written by T. De Witt Cuyler. chair
man Of the Association of Railway
Executives, to w. III. Chandler, presi-
dent of the Industrial Traffic League, In
response to query from the latter as
to whether or not It is possible for the
roads to determine with accuracy how
much these agreements cost them. Ad-
mitting that an exact computation on
every road as to the effect Of each
agreement cannot be made except at
prohibitive expense. Mr. Cuyler ex-
pressed the belief that between ex-
cessive increases in employees covered
by these rules and decreases In the
productivity per man, the estimate OF
their having added $500. 100000 to the
operating expenses of 1920 Is conserva-
tive"
Mr.. Cuyler used as examples Of ex-
cessive cost various methods used In
repairs. &C., on the railroads under the
national agreements. The successive
stages by which locomotive was dis
mantled for the purpose of renewing
stay-bolts was mentioned as a "notori-
Gus example" of excessive cost under
these agreements That the Director
General of Railroads could not find any
important increase In costs under these
agreements. Mr.. Cuyler said, was due
to the fact that "many of the most
burdensome and injurious interpreta-
tions of the provisions Of the agreement
were never experienced by the Director
General"
When the railroads were returned on
March 1 to their owners Mr.. Cuyler
pointed out, the number Of employees
had increased about 261.000 during the
period of Federal control, and of this
Increase 221,576 were accounted for in
three classes of railway employment
covered by the national agreements.

PARIS, Feb. % (Associated Press).--
Speculation has been largely responsible
for the Strengthening tendency OF the
franc, 1t was said in official circles to
day. where the recent sharp fluctuations
were greatly deprecated in view of the
upheaval caused to financial and com
merc!al operations. There have been no
movements of funds such as naturally
would affect the relative values of the
franc. the pound sterling and the dollar,

Bio Price for a Flower.

Ten thousand dollars is an extraor-
binary price for n single plant; yet
1t was paid by English horticulturists
for an orchid raised in the United
States, the Catteleyagigas alba. This
Cntteleya was Powered in 1910, and ex-
hbited at an orchid show In the
United States, where it was awarded
a gold medal. The plant was found
In 1909 in n lot of other specimens OF
Catteleyn gigas. It was only by chance
that the plant was not sold for dol
lar or two. The only reason was that
after most of it's companions had been
disposed Of this one, with some others
that were not in very good condition,
was set aside. Finally, all the speci-
mems were ported. To the great sur
prise Of the horticulturists when. next
spring, the plant came up 1t was with
pure white flowers. The plant was
sold in London for perhaps the highest
