BRIGGS _ Washington, March 26.—“The rail- roads will not go to smash during the; next few months.and there won't; be any more legislation to help them” ‘This is the plain declaration of Senator Albert B. ‘Cummins of lowa,} chairman of ‘the’ Senate’ Committee, on Interstate Commerce, and one of the authors of the transportation act! of 1929. : weer “Most of the road3 will be able to; pay operating expenses at least, even it'a revival of business is deferred un- til next fall or winter, Cummins said. And then the senator gave his dia- gnosis of the railroad crisis and: pre. s¢ribed his cure, “Jhst two things haye to be done,” says Cummins. “in IRST the cost of operation got to come down. : “SECOND if railroad management is| not efficient it must be changed so has! i \ | about by law. opening of the eyes of those who ow: the railroads, the real ownerg, the stockholders. “[ take it for granted that when their eyes are opened they will select competent and efficient men to man-/ age their property. “If it turns out after a fair trial that we cannot get efficiency in rail- road management, there will be noth- ing to do but resort to government ownership, which I do not believe the country wants, but may be forced to} adopt. \ “No further legislation is required for the successful operation of the railroads, assuming that the manage- ment of the roads is efficient. “It may be.that additional legisla: tion will be called for later but it hasn't become nacessary yet. “The transportation act of 1920 was not perfect, but we provided the roads with all they need if they are properly | and wisely managed. | “The difficulty ,with the railroada at present is ‘due to a tremendous) falling off in traffic. “about. one-sixth of the freight equipment of the roads is idle. “This slump began about the mid-/ dle of last Novemter. It was the re- sult of the general collapse of the! country’s commerce, a result of the war, felt in every..country, Rail busi- ness naturally must ‘be lesson a fall- ing market. Everything! had been going down. , f Costs Far Too High i “That, however, doesn’t account for | the entire situation or even for the greater part of it. “The railroads’ condition is due to! <the fact that the cost of operation is!

My own judgment is that it is the’ ord: | wun OL tue! slanuardization ers promulgated during federal con- trol, and tue sysiem ot extra pay tor overtime. . 2. “1 believe that a man who works i hard for eight hours has done a pretty | good day’s work and that for anything over eight hoats he should get extra a pay. Bs | “But it is absurd to apply this to: every man whose time happens to run over eight hours, “There are thousands of station agents in little towns who don’t actu- ally work more than three hours a day. ‘Two or three or four traius pass through the town and the agent is on hand tor a little while before and after each train. It is absurd’ to give him | overtime just because ‘his last train ‘at night pisses through "more than eight hours after the first oe. “But labor is only one of the costs that’ must’ come down. I"think ‘the railroads ,can save this year at least $:',£90,000 in coal alone. Most of the roads paid’ highlysextravagaat prices for coal last year, They boyght op cuilsccus Unat were extremely ‘exces- sive. The business judgment of rail- road managers in buying coal was ex-| S ceedingly poor. ‘Need for Consolidation “One of the most essential things) { neogssary for efficient railroad man- agement is the consolidation of the; reads into 14 or 15 big systems. “The provision for this in the trans- pogta.ion act of 1920 is not mandatory, | but merely permissive, I made every! effort to have it obligatory, but no-! body else seemed to want it. | “The farmers didn’t like it ‘becquse, it eljminated competition, but they) are seeing things differently now, for| they have a very effective plan under| way for cooperative marketing that: will eliminate competition in the sale) of their products. , I “The railroad workers don't want) consolidation because they are aber) government ownership. | “The railroad owners-don’t want it! either, because it would abolish a lot of positions held by incompetent men. | “But I am going to keep on fighting) for it. It must come, if we are to! have efficient economical operation.’ POPULATION OF PRISONS SHOWS SMALL DECREASE 12.4 Per Cent Decline in 6 Years in Middle West Chicago, Mar. 26.—-Prison popula- tion of the middle and southwestern’ per! “Steel products must come down, to reports collected by The Associated! mistaken when he said that the price of steel would not come down. - It will at least as soon as labor comes down. And labor too must come down “But 1 don’t believe that labor ought to cofme down except a3 "the actua cost of living drops and certainly. not to the pre-war level. That is impos - sible. : “Here are some: facts that reflect the treniendous increase in railroad | operation expenses. | “The cost of maintaining ways and structures during 1920° was ' $2%0,000,- 000 more than in 1919. ¢ | ‘The equipment bill wag $230,000,-| 090 more in 1920 than in 1919. “The transportation item—the cost of transportation operations—was ‘comparative figures was for the most | Kansas,’ Wiscongin “and wood products.

It is this: The mucous linings of these cavities are supplied by nerve fibres: These nerve fibres carry to the tissues, life force in the form of impulses of se- cretion, impulges of heat, impulses of expansion, and others. These must all be perfectly balanced, and.are perfectly bal- anced, providing the nerve fibres are free to transmit the life foree from the brain.to the membrane. If, however, some of these fibres are pressed upon, they are unable to irans- mit th proper. quality and quantity of life force. When this is true, an abnormal condition exists. Where iis it that a . pressure can be produced which will result in this abnor- mality? There is only one place, namely, the point at which the nerve is given off from. the spinal cord'and passes between the bony segments of the spinal column. ~ : The chiropractor is especially, trained to locate these ab- normalities of thie bony segments and to restore them to the normal \condition. .
