NEW YORK, Nov. 27-Although
the administrations new approach
to national problems has improved
business sentiment, a clearer enun-
citation of governmental principles

He urged that the administration

congress of American industry to

Confidence is the most import

RAILROAD ACT
CHANGES SEEN
BY EXECUTIVES
Modification Is Viewed as
Necessary to Insure
Economy Program.
By Times Special

By Times Special
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Railroad
arrangements rapidly are becoming
diSillusioned about the effectiveness
Of the economy features OF the
emergency railroad act. Although
officials do not dare" allow them
selves to be quoted because Of polit-
ical considerations, a survey made
today reveals that many leading
executives believe drastic modifica-
ton of the act is necessary If the
large economies potential in CO.
ordination of services are to be
made.
Every where we turn" said one
prominent official, we ran our
heads against Sec. 7B"
This section reads. The number
of employees in the service of a car
rier shall not be reduced by reason
of any action taken below the
number as shown by the pay rolls of
employees in service during the
month of May, 1888"
Can't Be Done, They Say
Now they expect us to accomplish
large savings by coordination OF
our facilities, but how in the world
can we do that without affecting
adversely the number of employes?"
said the official. In other words,
if it took 100 men to take care of
one section of track and another
100 men to take care of another
competing section, where would the
saving in elimination of this dupli-
cation come from except by the dis
charge Of labor?
Were not hard-hearted about
the firing of men. We realize that.
if there is to be effective co-ordina-
ton, the discharged men will have
to be taken care of by pension or
some form of compensation" he
continued. yet, no mater whether
we're willing to set up a pension
fund, we would not under the pres
ent law, be allowed to reduce our
working force below the May, 1888,
level"
The railroads are unable to make
any real savings at Ests moment in
the purchase of materials and sup
plies During the present year, the
cost of materials has risen greatly
compared with 1888. 1t is estimated
that total purchases this year viii
be almost twice as large.
Cooperative Buying Near
A plan for cooperative buying by
the railroads of materials is now
under consideration by the regional
co-ordinating committee. This will
be difficult to effect, it was said, be-
cause of contractual arrangements
now existing in many cases.
The co-ordinating committee
have been able to effect many minor
economies The major savings which
would come from elimination of
duplicate services and facilities have
been impossible Of accomplishment
because of the labor provisions of
the emergency act as we'll as the
inability of the railroads to agree on
consultations that might disrupt
traffic alignments.
Railroad executives recognize that
actual corporate consolidation ac-
complished outside the purview of
the emergency act is the logical.
method of making operating econo-
mics. The low prices of railroad Sc
curities and the present cola psed
state of railroad credit preclude,
however, such consultations at this
time.

AID FOR IDLE

MAIN PROBLEM
Relief May Play Part in
RooSeVeIt'S Control
of Congress.
By Times Special

! 81 tmes special
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Industrial
employment now is 100000 strong,
and affects 100000 people and
100000 families, Clarence w. Fack-
Ter, assistant professor of economics
at New York university, declared to-
day. BY its persistent stay, unem-
ployment has long since commenced
to undermine the nations financial
economic and political security, ne
adds.
ITO such an extent is this the
case" Mr.. Fackler says, that the I'M
employment relief problem today is
complicated by the difficulty of bal
ancing the federal budget and by
the possibility of too rapidly rising
prices. Due to its own incompe
tency it has become the father of
fantastical Utopian schemes of So
cial reform and of a steadily grow
ing, permanently unemployable
class.
Involves Two Billions
Furthermore, insofar as it is
made accessible to the constituents
of loyal congressman next year, fed
eral relief may play no small part
in the Presidents control of any ex-
tremely radical element in the sew
enty-fourth congress.
Estate and federal relief, being
the principal god-parentS of the
needy, now share about Is and IS
per cent. respectively, of the an
nual burden, appropriating two
billion dollars. Largely under state
supervision, this relief is distributed
through local agencies by outright
almsgiving, and by payments to
upwards of four million workers
employed on controversial make
work tasks.
mo one expected that the fall
elections would furnish plan for
the re-employment of an additional
four and one-half million men in
1885, which is absolutely necessary
if recovery is to continue its modest
comeback. However, the results of
the elections have been interpreted
as a popular expression of the hope
that the President, as social
mathematician, will offer reason
able solutions for all social problems
at an early date. Of course, the
solution of the relief problem will
probably remain a hidden quantity
until he returns from his southern
trip in early December to give an
other 'fireside talk"
Outlay Seen Smaller
1.-THE administration would COM
nit no great error by directing an
expansion of industrial production
by private enterprise, guaranteeing
to purchase any part of some pre-
viously calculated normal demand,
which is not sold. Cohceivably, its
outlay would be smaller than pres
ent expenditures for direct relief.
In any case, fewer social and politl-
cal complications would appear.
This or some other relief pro-
gram must soon prevent the further
acceptance of such ridiculous
schemes as the Sinclair-Lohg- Town
send proposals, and the multiplying
of the country's lighthouses where
men decay both mentally and physi-
cally Some program must sayi
