TWO CENTS A MILE

nANIEL WILLARD, head of the B. 81 O., an
nounces that his road intends to establish the
2-cent fare in June regardless of what the other
eastern railroads. who protesting do about it.
1nterej sting in this connection was talk we had
the other day with railroad man from the West,
where the lower rates have been in effect for some
time and where real results have been shown In
substance this is what he said
Investigations in our territory have shown that
OF all passenger business lost to the motors. on
highway and in the air. 80 per cent has gone to the
private automobile only per cent to the bus and
per cent to the airplane. Hence our job has been
to fix rate that will successfully compete with our
chief opponent-the private car We think cents
q mile does it.
TO compete, we have to consider the actual out
of-pocket cost to the private owner as the base
That means just gas and oil The psychology of the
private car owner won't figure anything beyond that
The fGct thss depreciation is working that repairs
must be made, that new tires must be bought, and
that the car some time will have to be unked Just
doesn't enter into the picture. The owner looks at
1t this way-I own the car and might as we'll use
it, unless can go cheaper by train And cheaper
means less than cost of gas and OIL Like it or not
we have to accept that as competitive problem"
costs very little to run full passenger car
than an empty. 1.-THE difference is inflntesmal,"
said this railroad 1T can't even be figured in
our accounting"
Trains have to be run anyway The crews have
to be on them. The fixed capital investment is there.
And all that. Schedules required under the In
terstate Commerce Commission rules So why not
rate that will fill the empties? That's the reason
ing that prompted the Western roads to their
auctions, and it's what is prompting Willard to
break away from his Eastern associates who, for
some cause or another, don't the light
Anyway it appears to u.s. it's the old story of
Marcus Loew all again; of his practically empty
theater at 81 head, and of the bright idea which
made Loew millions-"More people have got dime
than have got dollar"
He filed his theaters by acting on that, and the
railroads may fill their trains by applying the same
general economic philosophy

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

HER name is Mrs Murphy. When drove up

house, she was hoeing in the garden where rows of
green were delicately stitched over the dark EARTH
Ground and trees held the sheen of spring.
Mrs. Murphy's husband is tenant farmer now
They had come from Missouri, state that breeds
good farmers The surroundings clean as a rain
swept spruce tree testified already to their industry
The Missouri farm had been lost, Mrs Murphy
told us, to the mortgage company. They had decided
on Oklahoma and here they we're, and slightly spot

sometimes.

barn. The white hens that roamed over the barn
yard and meadow we're beginning to lay too and
she had few old "Donneckers" that wanted to set.

what people might take sudden notion to.
How about seeing the canned vegetables? We'd
like that so she proudly displayed jars of okra,
spinach corn, beets and peas. Then she opened a
crock of pickles and each f1shed one out; their
sweet tartness was delicious to the tongue.
AS we climbed out of the cool cellar into the
warm sunlight she thrust quart of string beans at
each of us. Her folks were tired of them anyhow.
She waved good-by; shapeless, sturdy woman in
gray sweater and skirt; with wind-burned skin and

zestful and courageous in her face that does not

HUMAN BEINGS ARE INVOLVED

7NHROUGHOUT the depression unemployment
has been worst in the heavy industries And
those who have opposed all forms of government
policing of the labor and financial policies of bust
ness have argued that, let alone, these industries
would go after bigger volume of business and
absorb vast numbers Of the unemployed
Vim Sweeney, writing from Pittsburgh, reports
current developments in two of the heavy industries
steel and coal.
Steel is going after bigger volume. Two hun
dred million dollars being spent building
steel plants and undermining old plants. But the
new equipment is the type which displaces
power and cuts labor COSTS And now with steel pro-
duction better than the average the last 10
years. and getting better, executive of the Steel
Institute says:
"It is doubtful whether the stee' industry with
its rolls nearly full rightly be expected to alb
serb any appreciable number of workers from the
general ranks of unemployed"
And in the coal Industry. where in the last 10
years 100000 miners have been displaced by
chimes and another 100000 by the substitution of
gas and electric power the head of the largest coal
producing company in the world says:
"Of the present 100000 btuminous coal miners
at least one-half will be replaced by machinery with
in the next 10 years."
OF course to the extent that these industries pass
lower production costs to consumers in the form
of lower prices, purchasing power will be increased
consumption increased and production increased
And labor opportunities will be created for the
men displaced.
But man may be good steel mill hand or
good coal miner, yet not at all equipped to take
advantage of these new labor opportunities" in
other lines of activity.
To help cope with this tremendous human la
Dor problem, the national Administration has es-
tablished the framework Of nationwide unemploy-
ment insurance system to give to disemployed work
ers minimum of few weeks compensation to tide
them over while they look for other jobs. But the
key to this system is state cooperation and in only
IL states have cooperating laws been placed on the
statute books: In the other SO states, even this
pittance of protection is withheld

For there have been ugly rumors that some
holders of colonecy commissions have so misread
the directions as to crush the mint and bruise the
ice that some quartered on Manhattan Island have
gone so far to decorate the mint sprg with
cherry, while in the Chicago outpost some have
actually substituted appejack for bourbon. Worse
