DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT
BLAMED FOR RAIL WRECK,
TRAIN SERVICE MEN SAY

Minneapolis.-Sharp fanges on an
engine, and not an open switch,
caused the wreck at Andoyer, last No
vember, train service men declare.
The wreck resulted in the death of a
fireman and brakeman.
Instead of taking the engine out of
service, the railroad men claim it was
sent out on the Inflated train that
Jumped the track.
Sharp flanges on engine and car
wheels are a deadly menace to the
lives Of train crews and passengers,
veteran train service men point out.
Where the fanges are sharp instead
of rounded there is always danger
that the engine or car with the de-
feet will climb the rail" and wreck
the train.
Such derailment usually takes place
at switches, thus giving the railroads
opportunity in strike times to raise
the cry of tempered switches" This
permits the railroads to cast suspicion
on the strikers and conceal their
dangerous equipment.

as THIS PROPAGANDA 30

II am enclosing a copy of Rail
road Data which is issued weekly.
In your opinion, is this likely or real
service to newspapers, or is 1t, in your
judgment, propaganda" The in
quirer is w. W. Harris, publicits man
for the Association of Railway Exc
cutives of New York. The clipsheet
which his letter enclosed declares in
an "ear" that "the material in thi
bulletin is from authoritati1 sources.
1t is issued for the info nation of
the public" Its informant appears
under headlines such as Movement
of Coal by railroads far in excess of
other years." Railroads obtain only
4 per cent Of capital raised in Octo-
ber," 81. G. C. Says Rail Earnings
Inadequate" "Ford's Road Shows
Deficit for 10 Months" ETC., etc.
Mr.. Harris, himself a ne spaper
man of long experience, doesn't need
any assistance in answering his ques-
ton. He knows thai his clipsheet is
of service to editors because it is
the only source of information on
railroad affairs that has not been
closed to them since the advent of
the director of public relations"
He also knows that it is propa-
ganda for the interests which pay
his salary and the other expenses of
publication. He knows when the data
he presents is in strict accord with
all the facts and he also knows when
it is in accord with the facts that he
wants to bring to the attention of the
editor.
He knows that, but the editor
doesn't, and the editor who accepts
at face value and prints substantial
ly what Railroad Data gives him ex-
poses himself to the danger of print
ing story that is true so far as 1t
goes, but which may be far from
true when facts which are hidden
are brought to light.
1t is the case with which a hard
pressed newspaper man can use the
prepared copy of the Railway Execu-
tives and other propagandists that
makes their clipsheets insidious.
They discourage first-hand investiga-
ton, as they are intended to do, and
they work their way into newspaper
columns without half the scrutiny and
supervision that is exercised over the
police reporters story Of a trifing
murder. No matter how upright and
honorable may be the aims of the
railway executives and their press
agent, the clipsheet method of giving
the newspapers information to the
exclusion of direct contact with the
original source of news, is always
open for the promotion of plans and
ideas that may be neither upright nor
honorable. 1t is the editors job to
keep awake to schemes of the latter
kind and to expose them before their
fruition. He cannot do it in an
emergency if he permits his news
sources to dry up and his sense of
values to become dulled when times
are quiet.
SO the answer to Mr.. Harris is that
his service to the editor is of very
doubtful benefit to the newspaper or
its readers and that it is definitely
and indisputably propaganda Editor
and Publisher, December 16.

Pittston, Pain answer to a query
from striking shop men regarding
the condition of motive power on the
Lehigh Valley railroad at Coxton,
A. G. Pack, chief inspector, writes
from Washington:
"0n November 8, o, 13 and Is,
there were 35 locomotives inspected
at that point, 32 of which were
found to have defects approaching or
constituting violations of the law and
rules, and "a were ordered withheld
from service, as provided in the act.
81 regret that, due to our limited
office force and the vast amount of
work before us, we cannot send you
detailed report, covering the defects
found on specific locomotives, but
hope that the above will serve your
purpose"

THE THINGS THAT COUNT.

Not what we have, but what we use;
Not what we see, but what we

These are the things that mar or

The sum Of human happiness.
The things near by, not things afar;
Not what we seem, but what we are
These are the things that makes or

That give the heart its joys or ache.
Not what seems fair, but what is
true;
Not what we dream, but what ~
These are the things that shine like

Like stars in Fortunes diadems.
Not what we take, but what we give;
Not as we pray, but as we live
These are the things that make foi

GARY'S GALL UNMITIGATED.

GARY'S GALL UNMlTlGATED.
Ebert II. Gary is the personifica-
ton of innocence. In his latest
childlike patter he says:
II is to me unthinkable that we
should rear in this country any
aristocracy of special privilege
whether that aristocracy be made
made up of those who sell the
use of their hands, their brains,
or their money. -. YET the dispo-
sition seems to be To pass laws
which in a degree exempt labor
organizations and farmer asso-
Citations from governmental in
vestlgation, supervision, and con-
troll against wrong Not only are
they exempted from certain re-
strictive provisions of the exist
ing statutes, but they are affir-
matively permitted to do certain
things prohib ted to other groups
of citizens.
Because the farmers and the wage
earners are continually gouged by
the special privilege class they have
tried to get their organizations ex-
empted from the operation of anti
trust laws. Not in order that they
might have a special privilege, but
in order that they might have some
little chance in their struggle against
the forces of special privilege. They
only wanted to get rid of one of their
handicaps. And they have not sue
ceeded even in that. For the anti.
trust laws have been used against
labor organizations--regardless OF
the fact that they were not intended
to be so used--and they have not
been used to any considerable extent
against the special privilege class OF
wealthy profteers and monopolists
They will doubtless be used against
the farmers whenever a good occasion
arises. Other powers of government
have already been used against then
in their dehation--so effectively
that they are poyerty-stricken anC
discouraged.
You would scarcely expect tha
even Gary would have the nerve tt
make such a statement as that quot
ed above, in the face of the existing
facts. But the gall of the rich knows
no bounds.

Strikehreakers Costly.

New York. - Strikebreakers EN-
ployed by the Southern Pacific rail-
road forced an increased equipment
cost of $614,706 over last year, a
financial report reveals.
The company did not permit this
extra cost to interfere with dividends.
1t offset the charge by cutting $780,
946 from maintenance of-way and
structure expenses. This means that
the property was permitted to de-
teriorate SO strikebreakers could be
paid and dividends assured.
The report shows that the South
ern Pacific is the first of the import
ant roads to report for November a
good-sized increase in earnings. This
was done at the expense of the road
bed and other equipment.

LONDON. - Radio has been
stumped at last.
The greatest wonder of the age
which has cut down space, cured the
sick, made the deaf hear and
brought the latest baseball scores to
the land of the heather, has encoun-
tered its first unsurmountable OBJ
stacle. In the form of an elephant.
The waves that have carried al
most every known sound through the
air, and many sounds hitherto I'M
known, have cracked under the
strain of the elephant language.
And Syed Ali, native Indian ma
bout of Indarini. prize elephant Of
the London Zoo, has lost all faith in
modern methods.
1t seems that for centuries and
centuries, ating back into the dim
mists of time, the Indian mahouts
have inherited son from father an
elephant language that all the huge
pachyderms understand and heed.
The principal commands in this
"Hathi XII Bat"-"Tongue of the ele-
phants"-are:
Eat your hay; drink the'water; get
up; lie down; pick it up; pull; stop
that noise.
"A smart elephant, Indarini," said
Ali 70 himself, "but not quite UP to
date. I'll have to teach him the new
ways"
So All dressed himself in state
clothes, with crimson headdress and
all, and went to a broadcasting sta
ton four miles away. He was going
to gis his orders to Indarini in the
1928 way-by wireless.
Did Indarini obey? He did not.
Did he heed his masters voice?
Nothing doing.
