The Philadelphia Inquirer, commenting on what 1t terms the folly of government operations of railroads says:
 Ten years ago the Pennsylvania spent n cents of each dollar received to operate it's lines. When Mo- Adoo became the grand Poobah of the railroads the cents out of every dollar. In 1920 it was 1O4 which meant that Americas greatest railroad was operated at actual loss. After the McAdOo nightmare passed, the company began to cut out waste and op crate along sensible lines. Last year operating costs had dropped to 78 cents the dollar and this year
 the ratio may be still further reduced to about 75 cents.
 Thus it has required years for the Pennsylva mia to accomplish reduction of 25 per cent
 Two years after The Alaska Railroad passed from the construction to the operating department expenses of operation were cut 31 per cent and increased "A per cent.
 From time to time The Alaska Railroad has been sub- ect to attack by the leading railroad journals of the United States and many of the newspapers, which take delight in describing 1t great folly. So Stewards purchase of Alaska thus considered by the dWeers in "handne-dOWn civilization with which they had nothing to do in the bildng McGuffy said the thing about the Oregon country when sought to be saved from Great Britain It is not surprising that the distort ed view should be taken with respect to The Alaska Rail- road.
 From time to time rumors gain currency that certain Wall street interests looking with cOvetos eyes upon please them better than to cripple the system Such ref the Philadelphia Inquirer makes, in line with the propaganda nsdidously directed against the railroad.
 When the Pennsylvania make as good showing made this year by The Alaska Railroad and by former Pennsylvania railroad employ at that it may win the right to make comparison.

FEDERAL RETIREMENT

Prospects for the passage Of a liberal ized Federal employees retirement law ap. pears much brighter after Senator Stan. field of Oregon, chairman of the Senate civi service committee, reported favorably bil not materially different from that whicf was originally drafted Virtually the only change made in the bill as reported and that which the committee favored Tn the first in stance is in the setting of age limits, the committee having fixed the age Of retire ment for executive employees at 65 years in- stead of making retirement optional with employees after 30 years service regardless of age. The age of retirement for mai clerks was left at 62 as at present instead of lowering it to 50 as was proposed
 In its present form the Stanield bill Is much the same as that passed by the Sen ate last year and which died in the House. The Senate bill will now take its place on the calendar, and Senator Stanfeld and oth- CT friends of the clerks are confident 1t will pass, perhaps within two weeks. Inasmuch as the chances are Congress will not be able to adjourn before the middle Of May or the first of June, iberaEzed retirement legisla- tion appears to be on the high road to enact ment.

RAILROAD MERGERS

Railroad mergers are s1ot su much ir the public eye as they were a few months ago, but there are indications that a good dealis going on beneath the surface to expe- dite the business of consolidation.
 Amendment in some important particu- lars of the Cunlmins bill, which would bring about compulsory mergers, fits in with the belief that pending negotiations between railroad executives may accomplish more than effort by Congress to force the situa- tion. The period in which the roads are per mitted to work out their own scheme of consolidation has been extended from three to five years, thus meeting the objections that the bill sought to bring about mergers in ooshort time in view Of the enormous interests involved and the difficult problems to be solved The recapture clause has been materially changed and other amendments in the original bill add to its flexibihty and seem to invite more earnest effort on the part of the roads to carry out the purpose sought.

IMPEACHMENT
OF Judge Sought; Miners
Charge He Is Unfit

By international Labor News Service
Indianapolis, Ind.-Offcials of Dis
trict 81, United Mine Workers Of
America, are seeking the impeach-
ment of Judge Lazelle, Of the Monon-
gala circuit court of West Virginia,
on the grounds Of mal-administration,
incompetency, corruption and neglect
of duty.
Counsel for the miners have asked
Governor Gore, who is contemplating
calling an extra session of the legis-
lature to deal with the water power
situation, to make the call broad
enough to authorize the legislature to
proceed with impeachment proceed
ings against Lazelle.
The union officials, in a letter to
Gore, set out eight paragraphs in
which Lazelle is charged with over
riding the law, of "high crimes and
misdemeanors" and Of being tempera-

matter of the eight-hour day. When,
after the war, number of states
gave more or less complete statutory
recognition of the eight-hour day, it
was less question Of political up
heavals, or of reforms introduced
through fear of possible upheavals,
than of the granting of legal reogni-
tion to- gains already made by the
trade unions"
Pointing out that the trade union
movement has been the major resist
ing force since the war in preventing
the wholesale wage decreases and
lengthening of the working day
sought by the anti-labor reaction, Mr..
Grassman continues:
ut would be superfuous to demon
strate once more the cultural value
of the eight-hour day, especially in
view of the fact that scientific and
capitalist circles are now coming to
appreciate it's economic value. This
does not however mean that we shall
have the employers everywhere quite
voluntarily granting reductions in the
hours of work.
Gains in the social field are the
results of sacrifices and hard-fought
battles by the trade unions. The big
ger the membership Of the unions, the
larger the funds, the keener the spirit
of their members, the more intimate
their international relations become,
the more ready one trade in one coun-
try is to support another, the sooner
shall we gain victories and the more
lasting will the results of these VIC
tories be-"

EXPORTING BU SSES

Not only in the United States has there been an enormous mar llet for the buss-making interests which are part Of the automobile making industry-but we now are also exporting them in enormous ly increasing volume Twice as many busses were exported last year as during 1924, according to the government figures just at hand. No let-up in this eXportation is in sight.
 The Department Of Commerce, which issued the statistics, added q little observation that ought 10 do much to explain why busses have come 10 be in such general use; and the observation goes con- trary 10 what has been said by railroad and trolley magnates in the past The need for economical transportation is at the bottom of the demand for busscs, says the department. Here is one para graph from the report:
 "Commorce department eN-
 ports assert that truck and bus

 cal transportation and require
