GOOD CITIZENS.

One of the old stock arguments
against chain stores is that they
are not good citizens that they
bleed the communities in which
thy operate, and take little or no
interest in civic affairs.
This indictment may be true
in isolated instances-but it GER
tainly is not true today of chain
operations in general. For, as in
disprtable figures prove, the
chains are vitally interested in
furtEering the well-being of cities
and towns they serve-and they
are doing more and more civic
bctterment work all the time.
In typical recent year, for
example, l3l chain systems SUR
veyed. reported making more
than S1,85O,OOO in donations to
organized welfare activities. al
most $4,000 in emergency con-
tributlons, and over $4,000
in membership dues to civic or
CARNATIONS. This came to better
than S2.9O0,OW-an average of
$50 per store for the systems
| covered.
Another survey. covering 7e
representative chains, showed
that 1896 employees were offic-
ers. committee chairmen or other
leaders lin community welfare
| and service groups and clubs
Many thousand additional chain
| employees were members of such
organizations.
Finally, another survey, cover
ing lj2 chain systems. showed
that the stores maintained ~
OBS local bank accounts averag-
! ing over $1,000 each-which Ger.
tainly does not look as if typical
chain companies take the money
out OF town as fast as it comes
over their counters.
| On top of that, chains are lead
ing advertisers in local news
papers and publications, own pro
perty valued at tremendous sum.

of this character is obvious. In
normal times, the welfare of the
railroads is inextricably related
to the welfare of all other inds
try, and to all workers. And in
the abnormal times we are living
through now, the necessity for
assuring maximum efficiency in
railroad operation is infinitely
greater. The railroads will play
a vital part in the national arma-
ment program. Artificial obstacles
to the efficient operation of the
industry are a menace to the ma
ton.
The railroads recommend. in
the case of the Adjustment Board
that rules and procedure be
charge SO as to require full
statements of each case, with op-
portunities for the opposing side
to reply: to set reasonable time
limit to claims for back pay: to
permit parties to case to be
heard by the referee making the
decision to allow the evidence
presented to be preserved. and to
require that opinions giving the
basis and reasoning of awards be
published. There is certainly
nothing unreasonable in these
requests-they are essential if the
Board is to operate with fairnes:
to all. The railroad industry seem:
to have an unshlkable case, ant
the rational interest demand:
that immediate action be taken

The perpetual maintenance charge
will be S billion dollars each year.
To call the National Guard for a

the talk about training men and all

evidence that we have either hous-

These liabilities are not shown in
the national debt. or in the general
statements covering the financial
condition Of the country. TO show
the true financial condition, these
liabilities totaling an estimated E
billions OF dollars must be added to
the national debt.

agencies had suffered heavy losses.

No one who knows the force of i'm

If. to accomplish this. selective
