FRIDAY, JANUARY IA, 1897
WAGE INCREASE NOT
MJSTTFIED

Railroad employees in train SER
vice are demanding increased pay on
the ground that they are handling
more tonnage per employee. The
railroads with equal propriety, might
demand increased rates on the
ground that they are handling more
gross tons to earn dollar.
For the first nine months of 1925,
the average revenue for hauling a
ton of freight one mile was 1859
cents, compared with 1857 cents for
same period in 1921.
To earn dollar on 1925 ton-mile
rate, the railroads had to haul ton
of freight 81 miles, compared with
IS miles in 1921, an increased mile
age haul of II, per cent.
Applying the average revenue per
ton-mile in 1926 to the freight
traffic of 1925, produces reduction
in revenue of $244,117,679.
Rates represent railroads wages
for moving commerce. Some roads
have complained because of having
their wages reduced, and few
others have requested but have been
denied. an increase. though it was
shown that on the existing rates the
return to investors was such as to
imperil railroad credit.
If more tonnage per employee is
being handled, it is well to deter
mine how and why.
The primary reason is that the
railroads are spending $4,000, 600
per month for more efficient equip
ment. for more and longer sidings,
double tracks, grade reductions and
additional terminal facilities, in
order to handle a lagrer tonnage per
train.
The net result of this is, that
without necessitating more work by
the employees, the railroads are able
to increase gross tons per train-mile
and gross ton miles per train-hour,
because trains are moved over the
road in shorter time, thus better
accommodating the shipper, and in
like degree, reducig the working
time of employees concerned, which
of itself forecloses on demands for
wages increase on the ground stated.

THE POWER OF SONG

BY Evangelist John Moses Baker
Sing when the days eve lovely.
And the night is dark and long
There is inspiration and power.
In some grand old Gospel song.
Sing when the skies are darkest,
And clouds above you roll;
When persecution and trial
Sweep down upon your soul.
Sing and the skies will tighten
The clouds all roll away,
And into your life come the dawninl
. OF a bright and better day.

ENROLMENT AND ATTEND
ANCE In PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
State Board of Education Reports
263, 1876 Pupils Listed Last

Year
Increased enrolment and better
attendance in the public day ele-
mentary and secondary schools of
Maryland in the year ended June,
1925, were reported in statistics re-
leased Monday by the State Depart
ment of Education.
At the end of last June the public
schools in Maryland had enrolled
263,196 pupils, an increase Of 2,427
over the number in the preceding
year. The average enrolment was
241,921 and the average attendance
214,024 in 1926. The increase in
average attendance over 1925 was
1850.
That the increase in attendance
was higher than the increase in en-
rolIment suggests that there was
more effective enforcement of the
compulsory attendance law and
greater interest of parents and
teachers in good attendance, it was
said
The twenty-three counties had an
average daily attendance of 123,20O,
while Baltimore had only 9O,S44.
The greater amount of the difference
was explained by the large number
of children in Catholic parochial
schools in Baltimore, Albert s. Cook.
State Superintendent of Education,
said.
ENROLMENT last year in private
and Catholic parochial schools ag-
gregated approximately $4,000 in
Baltimdfe and $500 in the counties.
IrssLD26 the attendance in schools
fol lored pupils totaled 1916 in
Baltimore and 20,961 in the coun-.
ties. The counties increased at
tendance in colored schools oyer the
six-year period by 1856, while the
city increase was $3.50. Since the
attendance in city schools for
negroes increasing more rapidly than
in county schools, the next decade
may show approximately equal
numbers of colored pupils attending
school in the city and counties, it
was said.
The variation in the size OF the
public school problem in the coun~
ties is indicated by the average
number of pupils in attendance in
each county. When the 1925 pub
lie school attendance is compared
with that of 1920 and increase OF
l3S,712 is shown over the span of
six years. The average yearly in
crease was 6,452. Every county.
with the exception OF Carroll and
Calvert, shows an increase in en-
rollment over the six-year period.
Baltimore city had an increased
attendance of 1894 in 1926 over
1920. Prince Georges, Anne Arun-
del, Allegany, Washington, Mont
gomery and Baltimore counties
showed considerable growth over the
period, the increases in the coun-
ties ranging from 1000 to 5000.
Eleven counties had decrease in
attendance from 1925 to 1925, and
the total decreases were:
