RAILROAD CREDIT AID IS SEEN
IN AGREEMENT ON WAGE CUTS
Carriers of Nation Are Declared to Have
Entered Third Phase in Financial
Affairs Caused by Depression

the same sort without opposition,
Daniel Willard of the Baltimore & Ohio
has become the elder statesman" in
the councils of the railroad executives
To his courage, fairness and persistency
and his understanding Of and sympathy
with his opponents point of view is due
an agreement finally reached without a
break. 1t is equally true that David B.
Robertson, chairman of the Railroad
Labor Executives Association is now
the outstanding man in labor councils
His diplomacy and Subordination of
political motives to the best settlement
available for those whom he repre-
sented, accomplished what at times
seemed to be the impossible.
This third phase also inaugurates a
period of greater coordination among
the carriers. 1t Is safe to say that in
stead of the individualistic and sepa-
ratist policies that have distinguished
railroad controversies, there will now be
trend toward a more unified attack
on those forces of competition that
have been undermining the credit of
the carriers for the past five years
What has been accomplished by a
small group of railroad executives in
obtaining relief from the former wage
scale can be duplicated in an effort
toward consolidation and in the con-
traction of improbable railroad sery-
ices.
Rate Program.
The program set out in the Inter
state Commerce Commissions freight
rate case offers many suggestions for
the upbuilding of railroad credit. If
considered wisely by the railroad ex-
ecutives, its adoption as the platform
of the carriers would do a great deal
TO restore their securities to public
favor
Altogether it may be argued that the
railroads have entered new day in
their history and that while, under
the economic changes that have taken
place in recent years, they are not like
ly to again reach the maximum of net
operating income realized before the
depression, they are in a fair way to
re-eStablish their credit, to continue to
be privately managed and steadily to
lift the average prices of their Securi-
ties from the recent recivership basis
to one more nearly approximating in
trinsiC value. Those disciples Of gloom
who have been prattling for months
over the destruction of railroad values
and have predicted that the steam
carriers had seen their day as the lead
ing transportation agency can now look
around for some other situation to
worry over.

SHORT WEEK OKAY
New York Daily News Increases
Employment and Leisure
With Scheme

New York, Dec. 30.-(P)eThe Daily
News reported editorially Friday on
the results of its trial of the five-day
week plan among its unorganized en-
ployes and concluded:
I'VE think our experience proves
the feasibility of the five-day week in
the newspaper business; and that
many other business concerns would
find 1t feasible for them, though per-
hapS with more pay reductions called
for than the News found necessary"
The newspaper pointed out that the
five-day week trial affected about 300
employees, the remainder-about 1900
being affiliated with unions and
having their working hours and con-
ditionS arranged for by blanket con-
tract. Among the union employees, the
printers themselves have applied the
five-day week, each printer donating
his sixth working day to an unem-
ployed printer.
The trial, which began three months
ago, applied to the editorial, account
ing and auditing, advertising and adj
ministration departments, and part
of the circulation department. The
News found during the summer that
by staggering work each employe
could take a two-week vacation with
out extra help being employed. This
led to the decision to give the plan q
trial at other times Of the year.
I'VE wondered" the News said Fri
day, whether this scheme couldn't
be made to work all year so that
everybody could have two consecutive
days off q week. We have found that

port, now in the hands of the COVER
nor, recommends immediate correct
i've measures.
In six terse pages the commission
makes a series of recommendations to
eliminate waste and to cut expense,
thereby decreasing the burden to the
taxpayers of North Dakota.
It would have more of the minor

It would make many of the elective
offices for four years, rather than for
two, to increase efficiency and to cut
election costs.
It would eliminate the presidential
primary described by the commission
as farce, with its average cost
of 68 cents for each vote cast. It
would simplify registration of voters
in cities and shunt distribution of
election supplies from the county
sheriff to distribution by parcel post.
Referring to the initiative, the re-

importance to justify the expense"
