Montana labor news., 1935-07-04

President Roosevelt has established a National
Youth Administration within the Works Pro-
gress Administrator to supply work and voca-
tional education to unemployed young men and
women between the ages of 10 and Is. Support
ed with a $50,0O0,OOO fund allocated from the
~$4,S0O,O0O,OOO work relief appropriation, it is be-
lieved that at least 100000 young people, most
Of whom have been locked out of employment
by those who own and control industry will be
given employment and opportunities for develop
ment.
In announcing the venture the President said
81 have determined that we shall do something
for the nations unemployed youth because we
can i'll afford to lose the skill and energy OF these
young men and women. They must have their
chance in school, their turn as apprentices and
their opportunity for jobs - a chance to work
and earn for themselves"
According to the Presidents order the Nat
ional Youth Administration is designed to achieve
four broad detectives. 1t will give young per-
sons work on youth projects, allow them to finish
high school and college, train and retain them
for private employment, and undertake to secure
work for them in private industry.
lHC pay aOuCuulS plONluSS P1O d HlOHlu lOI
youths on work relief, SIS a month for those
in college, and SO a month for those in high
school.
One Of the greatest tragedies of the prolonged
business depression is its destruction of the
morale of hundreds of thousands of young peo-
pie who on leaving our educational institutions
have found themselves barred from practically
all employment. Thousands of boys and girls
have also been compelled to leave school be-
cause their jobless parents were unable to pay
schooling costs.
The $50OO0,OO0 National Youth Administra-
ton will remedy much of this distress and i'm
part new morale to the young.
In the language of the President, the yield on
this investment should be high"
One feature of the program, however, should
be carefully guarded. 1t is the plan to train
youths for private employment and secure work
for them in private industry. Employers, un-
controlled by trade union organizations, usually
employ young people because they consent to
work for lower wages than adult men and wo-
men. They should not be permitted to use the
Presidents plan to break down wage scales in
private industry.

Taxing The Rich

President Roosevelts recommendation to
Congress that legislation be enacted to impose
larger taxes on the wealthy to help defray the
necessary expenses of the Government brought
forth a chorus of opposition from those subver-
sive groups who believe that under the American
flag there should be two economic classes, the
rich and the poor, and that the duty of the poor
is to slave all of their lives for a scant living in
good times and exist on public or private charity
in bad times.
According to the Presidents plan, the increas-
ed tax on big incomes would net about $4,000
600. Inheritance and higher gift taxes would
yield about $%200,O00,O00. The larger tax on cor
p%oration incomes would yield about $l00,O00,0O0.
The three increases total only $340,000,O00.
The new tax plan places more of the burden
OF taxation on the rich, who are able to pay it
without reducing their living standards, and re-
lieves those with small incomes of taxes which
would necessarily reduce their living standards.
One feature of the Presidents recommended
ton should not be overlooked. 1t is the influ-
ence which the increased taxes on larger incomes,
and especially the inheritance and gift taxes,
will have on breaking up accumulations of wealth
and thus indirectly bring about a redistribution
of wealth. This objective is commendable.
Increased taxes on larger incomes and inheri-
tances is a fundamental policy of the American
Federation of Labor and was unanimously APP
proved by the delegates to the 1884 Convention
of that organization.
To those who accurately vision the economic
and social crisis of the present with an army
OF unemployed estimated at eleven million of
able-bodied adults, necessitating billions of dol
lars to support them, either by charity or work

ing has been the incompetence of the
financial architects Of the railroads that
in the case of the biggest railroad re-
organization to date, the new financial
structure put out by the bankers in
1923 is ready TO crash to the ground
in 1885 which is almost an all-time
record Of incompetence.
| have spoken of incompetence, but
let us not forget also that the bank
ers have received fees running into the
millions, and their lawyers have receiv-
ed fees for themselves running into the
millions, for doing these incompetent
jobs to the detriment of the American
investing public. All this has, of course
affected purchasing power in this coun-
try and deepened the depression for
every business mar in the United
States.
Such incompetence has also cut down
purchasing power in another way. 1t
has Ii down the number Of employees
connected with our railroad system. In
1920, the railroads were employing ap-
proximately 100000 men and women.
So heavy was the loss of railroad bus
mess by our railroads - even in the
boom years - that great numbers Of
railway employees had to be dropped
during the period of prosperity. To-
day the railroads are employing less
than half the number Of workers en-
ployed on this transportation system
in 1920, and even the million or less
employees of the present time are given
such part-time employment that many
Of them have lost all their savings.
What this has done to purchasing pow
er every retailer who deals with rail-
road labor, every jobber who sells to
the retailers, and every manufacturer
who supplies the retailers and the job
bers, knows too well.
But this is not the worst of the story.
The worst of the story is that in con-
%nection with stock-market manipula-
ton, and in obedience to orders from
Wall Street dictated for the purpose
of financial manipulation, railroad en-
ployees have time and again been laid
off and purchasing power has proper
tionately been reduced.
This, in brief, tells the story of the
control Of a twenty-five billion dollar
industry by a handful of men in Wall
Street who have very little Of their
own money invested in the business.
Can anybody point to any major gov
eminent undertaking which has been
so mismanaged, which has been SO dam
aging to the general public served by
that government undertaking, to the
investing public or to the employers?
We have to face the facts realisti-
cally. The question is not one whether
government ownership or government
control is theoretically desirable or I'M
desirable. The question is: What are
we going to do as a practical matter?
The rail question is whether a hand
full OF men in Wall Street, who have
for decades played fast and loose with
the money Of investors, with the jobs
Of employees, and with the require
ments of the general public for a mod
ern and efficient transportation plant,
shall be allowed to continue in control
for the future, or whether that con
troll shall be taken Out of the hands Of
this group and make more responsive
to the requirements and the welfare
OF the public at large.

concerned with the industry? One Of
the groups, the shipping and travelling
public, has gotten service far less ade-
quate and far less satisfactory than
the railroads could provide. Hence,
the public has turned to other forms
of transportation.
Now take the second group interested
in the roads - the investing public.
This group is made up, in part, of mil
lions of people who have directly in
vested in railroad bonds and railroad
shares. In addition, there are many
more millions who have indirectly in
vested in the railroads. Their money
has gone into life insurance companies
and savings banks, which have invested
substantial portions Of their resources
in railroad bonds. Tremendous losses
have fallen upon these millions Of dir
ect and indirect investors in railroad
securities.
Hundreds of millions Of dollars Of
railroad stock has been made almost
valueless. The bankers financing and
recognizing these roads have, in a
number of instances, poured in so much
water that the stock was really worth
less from the very moment it was is
sued and sold to the public. Two we'll
known Western railroads have already
been shown to have an inflated CAPT
talization OF $l00,000,000 or more each.
The shrinkage in bonds has also been
terrific. First mortgage bonds of some
of the roads are selling as low as twenty
cents and even ten cents on the dollar.
Other railroad mortgage bonds, for
which investors paid par within recent
years, are selling as low as five cents
and six cents on the dollar. The loss
already sustained by the investing pub
lie runs into billions.
This has reduced the income on
which millions OF people have been de-
pending. Even the indirect investors
have already suffered. One OF the strik-
ing things about this depression is that
as policy holders found themselves less
able to pay life insurance premiums,
they have been obliged to pay higher
premiums even than the premiums they
paid in boom times. This, in part, is
due to the heavy losses sustained by
life insurance companies, a large part
OF these losses being in bonds Of our
railroads.
Bankers sometimes set up the defense
that these losses are due to the de
preston and not anything else. Let us
examine this claim. In the first place,
we have the fact that the railroad in
dustry has lost much business because
it has not maintained itself as a mod
ern industry, and this, in turn, is char
geable directly to the men who have
controlled the industry; namely, the
bankers.
But there is another side to it as well,
The bankers are the ones who have
exercised for generations complete con-
troll over the financial structure Of the
railroads. So poor has been the work
OF the bankers that, on the average,
many of our railroads have gone into
receivership every twenty years or even
less. What would the ordinary man
think of house builder so incompetent
that the houses he erected broke down
in the first major storm? Yet the
bankers have so built the financial stru-
ctures OF railroads in the United States
that they have cracked and broken in
every big financial storm. So strik-

must be had to insure the greatest COM
mon benefit. This calls for an elabor-
ate bureaucracy; reams and reams OF
rules, orders, regulations and the like
prying into books, accounts, contracts /;
supervising rates, charges, extensions,
and abandonments of service.
Yet this elaborate system OF regula-
tons fails in its purpose because, while
perhaps it does protect the public from
the more obvious abuses, there is no
way for it to insure good management.
And if, as the Supreme Court says,
the railways are run as an agency OF
the government, then it follows that
the duty of the government is clear
to see either that they are well man
aged, or to supply new and more res
ponsible management.
Clearly the Interstate Commerce
Commission cannot regulate good bus
mess judgment into the railroads any
more than Congress can legislate good
sense into them.
The fact is that the railroad industry
of the United States has been strangled
at the neck. So far have the bankers
gone in making the railroad business
a mere adjunct Of Wall Street finance,
that in the case OF many roads the
chief executives are required to main
tain their offices not where the roads
do their business, but in Wall Street
itself. The result has been that the
railroad industry has for years been
going to the dogs"
Even in the boom years, the railroads
were losing substantial portions of their
long-establshed business. Instead of
adjusting themselves to the new forms
Of competition springing up about them
instead OF undermining their plants to
meet the new competition and new
needs of the public, the railroads
continued in a sleepy condition, while
every day millions Of dollars of the
business which was already in their
hands wa slipping away from them.
The federal c%o-ordinator OF transpor-
%tation, Joseph B. Eastman, only recent
ly pointed to the fact that the rate
structure of the railroads is, in many
respects, archaic, wholly untitled for
the modern needs of the shipping pub
lie. The result, of course, is that more
and more the business has been slipp-
ing away. What else could be expect
ed when the men in control Of this
great industry had their eyes on the
stock-market tickers and their minds
on the stock-market gambling?
The federal coordinator of transport
tation has been engaged in making a
series of studies to show how the rail-
roads could improve their condition and
improve their business. Have the rail-
roads benefited by these studies? You
will find, if you look into the matter,
that the appointees of the Wall Street
fraternity have in many instances pre-
sented a solid front against putting in
to effect the very improvements basi-
cally necessary for their very life.
How has this method OF conducting
one OF the backbone industries of the
country affected the three groups most
