Railroads Do Not Run For
Employees Alone
Railroads are operated for the benefit
OF not one, but several groups-ship-
pers, passengers, employees, stock
holders, and the general public. The
interest of all must be served-and
that cannot be done unless the rail-
roads can operate efficiently and eco
nomically, and unless they are allowed
to earn sufficient revenue to provide
the kind of transportation service this
country MUST HAVE.

Where Will The Money Come From?
Where will all the money come from
to pay these increases? They total sew
eral times as much as the railroads
made in 1916 or will make in 1947.
In July, the railroads filed an'appli-
cation for increased freight rates to
close the gap which then existed be-
tween wage and material costs, and
railroad revenues. Since then it has
been necessary, because of further in
creases in wages and material costs,
to supplement that petition and to
ask for an additional freight rate in

For sheer feather EMBEDDING, this mock
work proposal takes the cake. But it
is only one of "A ssrules" demands filed
by the leaders of the operating unions.
If all these demands were granted,
they would cost the railroads an added
BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
Increased Wages, Too
On top of these ''rules'' changes, the
leaders of the operating unions have
filed an additional demand for wage
increase of over 80 per cent. If granted,
this would be an added cost to the rail-
roads of $4OO, OOO,O 900 year.
$46S, 600, 900 To Nom Operating

In. addition to this, an Arbitration
Board has just granted wage in
crease of 1917 cents an hour to the mill
lion employees represented by the II
incorporating unions. This will cost
the railroads $46s, 100000 year.

ISSUE BLIGHT
WARNING HERE
Late Blight of Tomatoes In
Three Fields In County
Near Dover
WEATHER A MENACE

Announcement of the discovery
of late blight of tomatoes in three
fields in Kent County, near Dover,
has been made by DR.. John w.
Heuberger, plant pathologist for
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service. Discovery of blight
in these fields follows by about a
month the first report of this sea-
son of its occurrence in a tomato
field near Rising Sun. In the fields
where blight was recently discover
ed the infection was general over
the field and the production of
spores was heavy. Cool damp
weather has been favorable for the
development of the disease. DR..
Heuberger again urges growers to
continue to apply sprays or dusts
every to 10 days, depending
upon the weather. He asks grow
ers to keep in mind that fungicide
sprays and dusts prevent disease
and for maximum effectiveness
they should be applied before the
disease gets started on their plant
ings. Control of the first infec-
tions will make the control of later
infections easier. At the same
time he reported the presence of
blight in additional fields in the
state. DR.. Heuberger reported
that downy mildew disease was de-
veloping rapidly on cucumbers and
cantaloupes as a result of favor
able weather conditions. Growers
were also cautioned to keep up
treatments for this disease, partic-
ularly on cantaloupes.
