DAyIED e. LILIENTHAL

David E. Lilienthal, of the IVA,
was born July 8, 1889, so he lacked a
month of being 81 years old when
named a director of the Tennessee
valley authority He is a good deal
less than 40 now; but he will not be
much balder when he is 80. He is
close to six feet high; spare
he doesn't stay still long enough to
accumulate fat; gray eyes, and hair
what is left of thrown. He is a
distinctly pleasant looking fellow;
but don't try to sell that idea to
utility magnates.
Young as he is, Lienthal has made
his mark. He is Middle Western by
birth; but he graduted from the
Harvard Law School, where he was
one of Felix Frankfurter's boys. He
settled in Chicago; and was special
counsel for the city in successful
fight to reduce telephone rates.
Phil La Toilette noticed this, anc
when he became governor of Wis
consin, called Lilienthal to head tht
state railroad commission. There
he revised the Wisconsin statutes
dealing with public utilities; and his
revision, since taken as a model il
several states, was adopted in 1891
He wrote the order for the commits
sion cutting telephone rates 121a PEE
cent, saving Wisconsin telephone
users about s40,0OO,ooO year; ano
then tangled up with holding com
panies.

Geneva (ILNS) Shorter hours for
coal miners will be considered at a
world coal conference, convoked by
the international Labor Organization
and opening in Geneva on May 2, Gov
ernment, employers and workers rep
resentatives from nearly all the big
coal producing countries, including
the United States, will attend.
Modelled upon the lines of the
World Textile Conference, held by
the lilo in Washington in April, 1887,
the coal conference has as it's purpose
"the consideration of the question Of
the reduction of hours of work in
coal mines, account being taken of the
economic and social factors hich
may have a bearing on hours of work
in that industry"
Although purely of an advisory
character, it is expected to make val
liable suggestions to the international
Labor Conference; which meets IN
Geneva in June and which will have
to consider the same question.
Hope for World Pact
1t is hoped that, just as the Wash
ington Textile Conference paved the
way for the adoption, at last years
labor conference, of forty y-houi
week convention, or international
agreement, for the textile industry
SO the World Coal Conference will be
able to pave the way for future
agreement regarding reduction OF
working hours in the coal-mining in

BILLS OFFERED
To Put Rail Labor Under u.
S. Job Insurance System

Washington, d. G. (ILNS) Iden-
tical bills are prepared and ready to
introduce in both house and senate
for national system Of unemploy-
ment insurance applied to railroad
workers. Senators Wagner and
Wheeler are sponsors in the senate,
and Robert Crosser, of Ohio, in the
house.
Railroad unions, it is hardly neces-
sary to say, favor this bill. They
have always fought for uniformity
on a national scale, and properly con-
slider themselves as belonging to a
national industry A law on a ma
tional scope would simplify enormous
~ the management now required un.
der state laws, will give results and
save money.
At present, railroad workers come
lunder the unemployment provisions
| of the federal social security act
| provided they are included in the So
cial security act of the state in which
they live. The federal government
advances so much provided the state
advances so much. But there are
states which do rot include railroad
workers in tneir unemployment lists
This bill would put them by them
selves under federal management
alone.
The bill provides for a payroll tau
on the railroads up to $500 a month
paid to any employe. State laws US
ually say 3 per cent throughout.
Compensation would be paid for 8
maximum period of 80 days, and OF
the following schedule Of the laid-ofl
employe's earnings:
$3.50 to 5000 per year $175 a day
5000 to $475 per year $500 a day
| $475 to $3.50 per year. 1925 day
$3.50 to $1025 per year. $2.40 day
$1025 to $1,000 a year. S2.75 a day
/ $1,000 and up per year. $500 a day
/ This scale is much kinder to tht
low paid workman than the stat'
scales. The lowest man on the fedora
scale would get S140 a year. On som,
state scales, he would get $25.

Capture of Freight and Passenger Traffic by Trucks
Buses and Private Automobiles Latest and Most
Serious Blow at Rail Carriers Prosperity.

freight and passenger carrying, ex-
cept in the region of The Great Lakes.
The railroads had put the rivers
nearly out of business as common
carriers. Jim" Hill boasted that
they would put the Panama Canal
out of business but they didn't. And
then the auto began to get in its
work.
Figures Tell the Story
What autos and buses have done
to railroad passenger traffic can be
stated in one sentence: In 1920, the
railroads carried 1,269,913 900 pas
|sengers; in 1929, 78O,468, 900; in 1886,
400 ,o91 600.
'rhe railroad loss Of freight ctnnot
be put 50 briefly; but here is the
gist Of it:
The tonnage of agricultural prod
ucts carried by railroads in 1886 was
248 per cent less than they carried
in 1929.
The total tonnage Of all prod
ucts carried by railroads IN 1886
was 28.4 per cent less than they
carried in 1929
The total tonnage Of goods shipped
| in less than carload lots by railroads
in 1896 was 54.8 per cent less than
| in 1929.
Big Inroads by Trucks
Less than carload lots pays the
highest rates Trucks have taker
fully half Of that. No figures arc
available on the percentage of fruit
and vegetables which goes by truck;
but it is very high. And one bic
packing company, testifying before
the ICC in the freight hearings just
finished, said that Il Of their plants
shipped ALL their finished goods By
truck.

BY ELIOT HARRIS

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) What
brought the railroads to their present
plight? Chiefly, three things. Waste
of money through graft, and through
the craze for bigness which has been
quite as expensive as graft. Blind
stupidity of high finance, which for
long time has had lot more to say
about railroad policy than experienc-
ed railroad operators. And looming
biggest now hut by no means standing
alone unexpected competition.
As for graft, it is probably the
hardest perennial in the railroad
garden. The ICC, in reporting on
one busted road, was obliged to say
that "only court Of criminal juris-
diction could deal properly with" the
case 1t might have said the same
about dozen others.
In the Alton case, E. H. Hartman
and a few Of his brother Wall street
ers took the Chicago & Alton which
for years had paid SO share divi-
dends, and which was capitalized at
S42,2l5 per mile. For seven years,
they ruled and rooked sold bonds of
the road to themselves at from $23 to
1899 below the market price; paid
themselves a 80 per cent special div
idend out of proceeds of bonds; and
they left the road broken and fiat,
with a capitalization of $121,000 a
mile.
Other Cases Equally Bad
This was no rare case. The New
Haven was as dirty as and more ex-
pensive than the Alton. The c. I'll.
& d. was the criminal jurisdiction
case The Denver & Rio Grande ex-
j pansion stripped those who had
/ trusted it to the point Of indecent
Exposure. And Gaping all was the
wrecking of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul, of which Max Lowenthal
truthfully says:
"The shrinkage in market value of
Its securities from 1909 to 1925 was
lS455, 100000"
The senate interstate commerce
Icommittee Investigations have shown
that the scramble of big eastern roads
before the crash to build railroad
empires" for an expected consolida-
tion cost quite as much as any cruder
graft. Big roads bought control Of
little roads; always paying more than
they were worth, and many of the
. lines thus hogged at vast cost are
bankrupt.
Auto Competition Deadly
AS for the share Of high finance in
railroad troubles, all the things told
and hundred not limited at were al
bottom the result of banker manage
Iment.
Comes now unexpected compe-
tition; and this is deadly Sc
rious. thing.

tion had a practical monopoly Of both

CLEVELAND
Associated Industries Form
ed to Keep "Open Shop

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-The
La Toilette civil liberties committee
has gathered few large chunks of
truth from most unexpected quarters,
these last few days. Col. William f.
Long, for instance, general manager
of the Associated Industries" of
Cleveland, told the committee that the
association was founded 'for the pri-
mary purpose of keeping the open
shop"
"An open shop, Hennessey," said
Mr.. Dooley once, rs shop where the
doors always open for a union man
to go out an cheaper man to come
| in"
All Records Destroyed
Having delivered himself Of truth,
Mr.. Long Immediately hedged He
said that his organization did not op-
pose strikes If they were primarily
for wages and hours.
"But 80 out Of 100 strikes be-
fore 1885," he said, "were either open
or camoufaged attempts to get the
closed shop. In such cases, we usually
urged our members to fight the strike
to the last ditch"
He was asked to present the rec
ords of his organization on this mat
ter. He answered that all of them
were destroyed in 1885 "to prevent
| their falling into the hands of the
American Civil Liberties Union"
Facts Brought Out
Close questioning by Senator La
Toilette brought out the following
facts:
That some of the records had been
used by the Cleveland Chamber of
Commerce.
That this reused so much feeling
that a special citizens investigation
committee was formed in March, 1885,
with the Civil Liberties Union at its
head.
That the records contained docu-
ments submitted by labor spies in
local unions Long called them "com-
munistic" unions.
Destroying of Records Common
! SO that the Associated Industries
and the Chamber of Commerce of
Cleveland are both now on the book
as having gathered records which
would damn them if made public.
The same record of destroying
records was gained from Ralph Smith,
president of the Corporation Service
Bureau, who said he had destroyed all
records up to 1887, and had kept none
since In fact, he said, it became
common policy for detective agencies
all over the country to destroy their
records to keep them out of the hands
lof the senate civil liberties committee.
