coRrosATE TREASON IN WAR.

Some exciting if not altogether per-
tinent things can be said in the
course of a flibuster. In the last
few days of the late congress Senator
Brookhart. the Iowa radical, charged
several of the big railway heads Of
the country with the darkest treason
during the war and read copious quo
tations to support ais assertions.
When the railways were taken
over by the government and the fate
of the nation was in the balance,
with William G. McAdoo placed in
charge as their director general. Mr..
Brookhart declared that in order to
discredit government management
these railway heads did everything
within their power to destroy e'icien-
cy. The Iowa senator read from Mr..
McAdoo's testimony before the senate
interstate commerce committee as
follows:
Oh That some prominent rail
road officials did not or would not
render loyal and efficient service
and were subsequently removed
from management.
CD That the offending officials
failed to maintain average earnings
for their corporations, thereby in
curing heavy deficits that were
met by the government.
go That had these faithless of
ficials performed their full duty
while they were intrusted with rail.
road management there would
not have been a deficit during the
first year of federal operation.
(4) That payrolls were padded,
thereby imposing an unjust and
unnecessary burden upon the gov
eminent of hundreds of millions of
dollars.
lie followed that by citing a case
where a check was made upon a d.
vision between Ottumwa and Kansas
City and in two weeks there was not
a train that got over a major grade
without stopping and cutting 1t IN
two. Thus the engines were run $50
miles to every 100 miles II by the
cars, and when the facts were pre-
scented to the general manager he
stopped that thing within twenty
four hours because 1t was being done
under his orders to discredit govern
ment management.
Then the senator read a series Of
letters addressed by Mr.. McAdoc TO
several railway presidents. The fol-
lowing was one to w. G. Besier. pres
ident of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey:
We are In a great war n ex-
cuses are not worth anything. The
only thing that tells now is results.
The public demands them and the
life of the nation demands them.

ment. I would not be frank IL I
did not tell you that unless there is
a decided improvement in the ef-
ficiency Of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey system a change in the
management will become inevita-
bic. This / should deeply regret.
