FORCES ALIGN TO FIGHT
OVER LABOR ACT CHANGES
Struggle of C.. l. o. and A. F. L., as Well
as Industry-Union Problems, Must
Be Considered.

irresponsible individual over whom
the union had no control.
Senator Vandenberg indicated yes
terday that he may make some changes
in the original form of his amend
ments but that, he intends to press
for their enactment. He may make
this effort at the special session rather
than waiting until after January !,
he said.
Another and less drastic means of
extending employer protection" seems
to have been devised in connection
with the Wisconsin State Labor Rela-
tions Act. by which the administra-
tive agency is given considerably
broader powers than are now vested
in the Federal agency.
Publicity as Enforcement.
Depending greatly upon publicity as
an enforcement factor, the Wisconsin
law provides that two committees, one
representing the employer interests
and the other employe interests,
should be standing at all times. In
the event of complaints about prac-
tlces affecting either group, such
would be referred to the proper one
Of the two committees for investi-
cation.
Reports of such investigations may
be made public, and in the event of
considerable controversy the other
committee or the board itself may
make further inquiry.
In the event of violations of agree
ments by either labor or industry the
board is empowered to summon both
parties before it for a hearing. Here
again if the issue is not easily set
tied recourse is had to publicity, and
the board is authorized to publish its
findings, with the employer or en-
ployee committee also empowered to
exercise its influence.
AS an added function not possessed
by the National Labor Relations
Board, the Wisconsin agency is en-
powered to appoint arbitrators in la
Dor disputes. The law also provides
that the State boards awards should
be filed in the Circuit Court and that
the court must enter judgment in
accordance with its terms unless the
award is impeached. In its strike
service the board also may name con-
ciliation representatives.
While there are obvious obstacles to
vesting national aeency with the
duty of sitting as broad a grouping
OF complaints as would arise dnder
such provisions as those of the Wis
consin law, the State statute does
point way in which exploratory
thought might be turned If efforts to
amend the national act get beyond
the wishful thinking stage.
1t is the hope of supporters of the
Federal law now quietly engaged in
gathering data and other ammunition
for its defense that such defense can
be waged more successfully of the
floors of either house or even out
side of the House and Senate Labor
Committees. Even minor changes,
which might meet unanimous favor
are being held in allegiance rather
than throw the act open where foes
could muster their strength for altera-
tions.

" HE railroads are on the spot.
Driven by mounting ex-
penses to seek a general in
4 crease that would raise freight
rates by many millions. and asking
concurrently for an upward revision
Of passenger fares, the industry is faced
with the problem of justifying this
program before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and then, if this is
accomplished, of holding traffic under
the advances in the face of bitter
competition that for years has been
diverting a tremendous bulk of busi-
ness elsewhere.
Failure on either of these two fronts
suggests but the single question:
What then?
No one can answer that now, but
observers who have watched the shift
ing scene Of transportation since the
World War, predict freely that it
would mean Government intervention
in some form or other affecting not
only the railroads, but all carriers,
with the end in view of integrating
the entire industry to insure the ef-
ficient operation that is essential for
the welfare of the country.
More Revenue Asked.
The carriers estimate the freight
rates advocated would add $4,000
600 annually to their revenues, and
that $48,000,0O0 would be derived
from the passenger charges. This is
in addition to the SAT, 10000 boost re-
Gently granted on heavy commodities
including principally bituminous coal,
petroleum, coke and asphalt. The new
proposals would apply a Is per cent
advance horizontally through the rate
structure; raise bituminous 10 and
Is cents a ton to make the total in
crease with the recent advance 25
cents; add 25 cents a ton to anthra-
cite, which the commission refused to
raise in the recent proceedings, and
provide certain special charges for
lumber, sugar, fruit and vegetables.
These advances, it seems certain,
represent the absolute ceiling to which
the railroads may expect to elevate
their rates under any circumstances,
although they contend transportation
still would be cheaper than in the pre-
depression era.
If the petition Is granted, however,
it does not mean necessarily that all
rates automatically will be boosted
Is per cent, for there are hundreds
of cases right now where the carriers
are not taking advantage of allowable
maximums for fear of losing the
traffic.
Two alternatives then are presented.
Either the imposition of higher
charges on non-competitive business,
a principle of which the I. c. c. was
sharply critical in the last rate case,
or an arrangement with highway and
water carriers for general increase
in competitive rates.
This latter was suggested by the
commission in granting the heavy
commodities increases, indicating q
belief that some competitive rates at
least had been depressed below proper
levels in the struggle for business.
But any concerted move in this di-
rection may be counted on to bring
long and loud protest from the gen.
eral public, which is interested more
in the economy than the economics
of transportation.
AS the commission explained. an

Violin 2.29 In. Long
Took 2 Years to Make

VIENNA.-A violin 229 inches long,
an exact reproduction of an ordinary
instrument, but with only one-thou-
sandth normal tone volume. has been
completed recently by a 26-year -old
violin maker, who took two years to
fashion the delicate instrument. The
miniature violin. which is to be placed
on exhibition here this month, is be-
lieved to be the smallest violin in the
world, and its value can be merely
ornamental, since nobody has been
found with fingers small enough to
play it.

Experts Unable to Value
Pearl Pigeon Egg Size

BOMBAY.-A pearl, perfect in
shape and color and about the size
of pigeon egg, is thing of which
to dream, visioning the wealth that
could be obtained from it. That is
the general idea, but an Australian
seaman discovered such pearl near
Darwin recently, but so far his been
unable to dispose of it because the
gem is too large to be set in a ring
and mates suitable to join it on q
necklace are very rare. The pearl
weighs 120 grains and no local expert
has yet decided on a true value for it.

thirds is wages and taxes.
Business has been increasing stead
lily since the bottom of the depres-
sion, but it has not been able to keep
in step with the onward march of
expenses, though the railroads have
sought to effect savings wherever pos
sible.
Recently these economies have
turned again in the direction of the
force-cutting that marked the period
of falling traffic. Between August Is
and September Is, the last date for
which figures are available, the class /
roads dropped 10000 men. Employ
ment in mid-September stood at 1,133,-
227, which was nearly 3 per cent above
the total for the corresponding date
last year, but even so, the cut in
manpower indicated that maintenance
work Was being deferred, for It Is here
that economies usually start. This
meant In turn that the railroads were
holding down their purchases of ma
terials, to the consequent detriment
OF other industries.
In further support Of the rate
increase program and in explanation
OF their financial plight, the railroads
presented summary of the reduced
charges-born of unrestrained COM
petition-of which their patrons have
had the advantage in the past is
years, and which not only initiated
against creation of reserves against
the depression, but also made it ex-
ceedingly difficult to cope with the
mounting costs of the recovery era.
How Rates Declined.
Between 1921 and 1882, it is pointed
out, the average revenue received for
hauling a ton of freight 1 mile de-
clined from 1.275 cents to 1.046 cents,
or 18 per cent, and the average, per
passenger mile, went from 3086 cents
to 2.219, drop of % per cent.
Rail revenues reached their lowest
point in 1882. net operating income
amounting only to $326, ,O08, but
though the revenue trend has been up
ward since that time, the cost to the
public has continued downward. The
average ton-mile charge for 1886 was
0.974 cent, and in the first six months
this year, 0.936. The average passen-
ger mile return last year was 1888
cents, and for the first half of 1887,
1913.
For decade after 1922, when
freight rates were cut 10 per cent,
there was a general sloughing of
This was checked in 1881, when, for
a few months, emergency advances
totaling approximately 100000 an
nually were allowed to create a bor-
rowing fund for weak carriers to meet
their fixed charges. There was an
other emergency advance in 1885
when the workers got back their de-
preston pay cut, but these charges,
aggregating $l20,OO0,o0o annually,
were suspended on December 81 last,
to be restored In part by the recent
increase.
On the basis of the rates prevailing
In 1921, the railroads add, 1896 traffic
would have produced s1,021 ,000, 600
more than it did, and at the 1882
level, $244, 100000 more. The corre-
spending passenger revenues would
have been $28o,oOo0OO and s85, 5,0oO.-
900 more respectively.
