HIGHER RAIL RATES
OFFER NO SOLUTION

New York. - With the nations
larger railroads facing unparalleled
prosperity, some financial observers
question if increased rates will aid
railroads that have failed to secure a
net profit of 5A per cent
Many transportation systems are
applying efficiency methods the last
few years, and this has resulted in
large figures on the credit side of the
ledger. Other roads are staggering
under heavy deficits. The defunct
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul must
meet $240,O00,000 in maturities in the
next 10 years.
The financial observers suggest that
instead of insisting on higher rates,
provisions of the transportation act
should be enforced by the railroad
managers. If present rates are in
creased, it is said, large part of the
additional revenue would go to more
prosperous roads. The carriers in
need of financial aid would have to
have rate increases of from 20, 80 and
40 percent.

Workers, Never Beaten,
Anticipate Fight to Finish
Big Struggle in Hard Coal Fields Brings Capital and
Labor to Grips in What May Be One of Crucial
Combats of American Tolers

Special to International Labor News
Service
Philadelphia Every mine in the
three anthracite regions, comprising
the richest deposits of hard coal or
anthracite in the world, is closed as
the result of the suspension of work
following the expiration of the two
year wage agreement and the failure
of the operators to come to any un-
derstanding with the United Mine
Workers of America on new agree
ment.
Without moment of hesitation,
with perfect discipline, 14S,000 work
ers quit, leaving 10000 pumpmen, en-
gineers, fremen and repair men at
work for the maintenance of 828
mines in the narrow strip of country,
comprising ten counties of Pennsyl-
vania, in which the mine fields are
located. There was no disorder.
Have Faith in Leaders
One of the remarkable facts of the
situation is the quiet confidence of
the miners, their faith in their or
ganization and in their leaders, John
L. Lewis and Tom Kennedy. Yet op-
posed to them is a powerful combina-
| tion of capital - the railroad-coal
trust, a closed corporation, whose
profits in the coal business are re-
puted to be immense. No government
agency has ever been able to ade-
quately decide how much profit these
companies have made, yet it is in the
defense of these profits that they
Opposed every demand of the mine
workers and thus made the suspen-
sion inevitable.
| The miners demanded 10 per cent
wage increase for contract miners, g
Isl day more for day men, whose
minimum wages was $4.62 day, the
lcheck-off and minor changes in work
ing rules.
The operators answer was that the
business would not warrant addeC
costs. And thus the prolonged nego
tiations were fruitless and with the
agreement expiring the miners sim
lply quit work.

POWER AND LIGHT
Costs Now 10 Per Cent Be-
low 1913 Level

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Electric cur
rent is one of the few things which
cost the American consumer less to-
day than before the war. With in
creasing use and production, the
price is constantly dropping, accord
ing to figures gathered by the depart
ment of labor
The present average cost of cleo
tricity in Representatives cities through
out the country is 10 per cent below
the level of 1918. This marks a drop
Of about l per cent in the last year
for in 1924 the average cost was 8
per cent below 1918. The 1923 cost
was 7 per cent under 1918, that OF
1922 per cent under the 1921 5 per
cent.
There are several reasons for the
decline in price.
Greater production of electricity
means cheaper production per unit as
in the case of other Commodities. The
greater production has been brought
about by increasing demand both fol
industrial and household purposes.
Utility plants also have achieved
greater economy in the use of fue
so that a ton of coal produces more
kilowatt hours than formerly.
Furthermore, waterpower is coming
into increasing use in this country ane
this is another factor toward cheap
ening production. Waterpower, how
ever, is not available in all sections.
