 RAILROADS OWE
 GOVT. $ll3,OOO,OOO
Instead of Collecting Millions For Alleged Losses, Audit Shows
 Debt to Uncle Sam.

During the period of federal con trol of railroads the national govern ment expended for >beterments and extensions on the New York Central $23, 900, 900 more than 1t was bound to expend under it's contract. Therefore the New York Central will be re- quired to pay that sum into the fed eral treasury, according to settle ment just completed with the director general of railroads
 Only one larger settlement has been made by the railroad administration, the Pennsylvania Railroad having been required to admit an indebted ness of $ooooo,o ,ooo for excessiye ex- penditures during federal operation
 The New York Central will be priv ileged to give the government notes representing a period of IS years and bearing a low rate of interest
 Both the New York Central and the Pennsylvania had presented claims against the government for alleged under-maintenance which an audit of their books failed to substantiate. When all accounts had been exam ined 1t was learned that both of these roads had been improved to much greater extent than was required of the government under it's rental con tract.
 The fact that these two great sys- tems have agreed to pay the govern men these enormous sums on account of over-maintenance IS a complete an- swer, at least in so far as the roads affected are concerned, to the rail- roads plea that they were starved" during the. war.

NELSON OUTLINES
 RAIL LEGISLATION
 IN NEW CONGRESS
Abolition of Labor Board and Repeal of Guarantee Section Will
 Have First Place.

Four sections of the Cummins- Esch bill will be attacked by progres. sive members of Congress at the ap- preaching session, according to their leader, Representative John M. Net son of Wisconsin Principal changes demanded by ths progressives are:
 I. Repeal of the section guarantee ing 3-4.per cent annual return on railroad values"
 2 Abolition of the Railroad Labor Board and repeal of hte labor sec ton.
 B. Providing for the valuation of carriers on a basis of money prudent ly invested, instead of on the repro duction basis used by the commis- sion.
 f. Restoration to state commissions of control over purely state questions.
 Progressives will also, says Repre- sentative Nelson, demand a tax on excess profits and a constitutional amendment against issuing tax exempt securities.
 Repeal of the guarantee section of the transportation act Is the first es- sential step in giving relief to the farmers and other groups of citizens" declared Representative Nelson.
 The valuations of railroads, wrich are now and will continue to be the bases of ratelmaking, must be hon estly made The railroads can con sistently claim a return only on money honestly invested. The pro- gressives are unit in demanding that the fancifu1 theories now being used shal lbe discarded
 Speaking for myself, I feel that 1t will be much easier to secure needed transportation reform if there is 2 change in the chairmanship of the House committee on interstate com merce
 Representative Winslow of Massa- chusetts, the present chairman of this committee, is regarded by the progressives as hostile to the de- mands of the public for relief.
 This committee handles transpor- tation legislation, and were 1t headed by a progressive ,or one who did not always take the railroad point of view, the problem of breaking the the railroads now have on the nation would be simplihed.
 "I believe that an effort will be made to secure chairman who will take a broad public view of transpor- tation, which we must have if we are to get justice in the matter of rates, respect for state rights and fair deal for workers and the public"

UnskiIIed Labor Exodus Good Thing
 For the South

"The South, we are told, is losing thousands of its common 1aborers, the majority of whom are inefficient, ac- customed to long hours of slow in effective work, unsanitary conditions and low standards of living" says the American Pressman, official organ of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union of North America, in an article on the so-called shortage of labor
 Tt is well for the south, but some short-sighted capitalists and loud mouthed, cunning politicians are pub licly bemoaning the loss of this crude, inferior labor.
 "The time is shortly coming when 1t will be generally recognized that the loss of such labor is the south's gain. And so it is with crude labor and low standards-the sooner we get rid of both the better off we will be"

His health had failed ever since he was severely injured by falling down a coal hole at the railroad station in Black Hall, Conn, while waiting for a train.
 The deceased was born in Baiti- more, and came to this city about Iforty-hve years ago. He was a com- positor by occupation, and shortly af- ter his arrival here he became con nected with the Republican Publish ing company and at the time of his death was rounding out his forty fourth year as a member of that or ganization. He was secretary of the local Typographical Union for the past thirty years.
 MT. Maydwell for years was promi- nently identified with republican po- ltieal affairs and represented this district in the General Assembly n IoIo-2o. He was also member of the city council, serving four years as councilman and two as alderman
 Local newspapermen report sing ualr coincidence in the clock in the tower of the Record building, where MT. Maydwell had been employed for so many years, stopping at all most the moment he died.
