Interstate Commerce Commission
to adSenee rates to. a level never
before known in this country. Rates
were set so high that they often
exceeded the value of the articles
transported. Farmers left their po-
tatoes. fruits and vegetables to rot
in the field, or even dumped them
in the river after they were packed,
because freight charges exceeded
what they would receive for their
produce. In brief, in their desire
to make greater profits, the rail-
roads overreached themselves and
charged more than the traffic could
bear Facts recently collected for
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion show that American railroads
received last year on every ton
haultd a mile greater return than
any year in the last forty years;
and vet the volume of freight hand
led by the roads was 50 small that
many of them faced actual bank
ruptcy. The tonnage carried during
the first half of 1921 as compared
with the first six months of the
preceding year showed a decrease
Of nearly a quarter of billion
tons. At the same time the roads
carried nearly 100000 fewer peo-
pie, because every traveller had to
pay an average of 3.13 cents mile
as against &c cents in 1920. In
creased fares and rates will never
solve the Transportation problem.
Even the railway executives ale
now convinced that a heavy traffic
at reasonah'j low rates is far bet
ter than little traffic at a high
rate.
Rate Cut Saves Railroads
The extortionate freight rates of
the last two years have not only
/ crippled the RAILROADS. and ruined
the farmers, but they have also
paralyzed American industries.

of this cut many of the most eff
ficient railway employees left the
service for more satisfactory pay
elsewhere. A further wage cut now
would not only be unjustifiable, but
it would demoralize the nation's
TRANSPORTATION system and place it
in the hands of the least Compel
ent employees. No other industry in
the nation demands such extreme
carefuIness, such devotion to duty,
such continuous concentration upon
the task in hand, as does railroad
transportation. A poor piece of
workmanship or moments care
lessness may cost a hundred lives.
The men engaged in train service
are charged with the moral and
legal responsibility for the safe
handling of billions of dollars worth
of property,-the commerce of the
nation. If Henry Ford finds it
pays to hire higA-class labor to
make low priced automobiles, sure
ly the bankers who control the rail
roads, which carry over 100000
900 human beings and 100000 1000
tons of merchandise a year, ought
to realize the expensive folly OF
cheap labor.
How Railroads Can Promote Pros

More than any other group, the
railway executives now nave it with
