Early in the special session of congress Chairman Cummins of the Interstate Commerce committee of the senate, has indicated his intention to introduce a resolution for a thorough investigation of the rail- certain why it is that with the largest gross earnings in their history and as high freight and passenger rates as there is a possibility of obtaining, the roads are, nevertheless, earning a net operating income of only a fraction of one per cent upon the valuation of their property. The railroad problem as it is pre- sented today, is the most vital one before the coun- try. It is obvious that the transportation system can- not continue under present conditions. As seen by Senator Cummins the situation may be briefly stated. During 1920 the gross operating rev- enue of the railroads—the receipts from freight and passenger service—aggregated $6,225,000,000. The expense of operation during the same period—not in- cluding interest on indebtedness or dividends on stock —amounted to about $6,215,000,000. On the year’s business there was a net operating income of some $10,000,000, this constituting the returns as a whole upon property ‘valued by the Interstate Commerce Commission in a tentative way at $18,800,006,000, The amount of traffic handled by the - railroads during 1920 was the greatest in their history. It is not likely that they can count upon increased ‘rev, ente through any increase in traffic within the next few years. Since it is impracticable for the railroads to earn more revenue, the solution must be found in the only other alternative—reduction of expenses. Whether this is practicable and in what particular will be for the congress to decide when the facts are brought to its notice through the investigation. Savings in expenditures may be grouped under a very few classifications—better management; re- duced expenditures for wages; lower cost for fuel; reduction in prices for lumber; ties, steel, etc. From information received from various sources students of the subject are of the opinion that $400,000,000 per year could be saved without any reduction in the basic pay of employes if rules and working conditions were changed so that there would be no pay for work not done. Under rules put in force while the roads e under government control probably half of the employes of the railroads receive at one time or an- other compensation for which they render no serv- ice. For instance, the station agent at a village where trains stop onlythree times a day, and who perhaps spends only three or four hours per day at the station, receives overtime compensation if arrival of-his trains is spread over a period of more than ten hours. Under a regulation established by former Director of Railroads McAdoo, employes are paid for one hour per week for punching the clock as they en- ter the shops. This alone costs the railroads $50,-) 000,000 to $75,000,000 a year. So far as service to the public is concerned it seems to be on a par with the ordinary business man paying his clerk for one hour per week for hanging up his hat in the morn- ing or'a farmer paying his farm hand for one hour extra per week for washing his face before break- fast. Other regulations which specify the class of employes who shall perform particular work and pre- vent repairs being made by any competent man who happens to be available, add to needless expense. The questions enumerated and seemingly the ones of grehtest importance should be promptly probed and determined and the public thoroughly advised. Statutes already exist under which all these ques- tions can be adjusted fairly and impartially, and if not then additional legislation should, be parsed strengthening the laws and providing for contingen- ¢ies not already covered. The transportation difficulties must be settled promptly and with justice to all concerned. OC DEE RETESET Se aes THE TIME TO LET GO. Since the appearance of Mr. Lansing’s book in which is related many of the details of the negotia- tions, there has been both praise and criticism of the author. The one particular point upon which opinion di- vides is that when Mr. Lansing discovered that Mr. Wilson was completely ignoring the advice of all of the members of the American delegation to the con- ference and stubbornly took the ground that the League of Nations was paramount and all else unim- portant, to which Mr. Lansing and others could not subscribe, why he did not resign and come home. While the great majority of opinion is against Mr. Lansing’s course in remaining to the end accepting) the humiliation heaped upon him by his cli'cf, there! are those league fanatics who approve of his acijon’ in not “blowing up.” Therein lies one of the chief troubles with the feague advbcates. They regard that treaty with the league woven into it as paramount—paramount to our own national rights, interests and self respect., Despite the respectiul notice given by the senate, Mr. Wilson declared, when he went to France the second time, he would bring back the treaty with the league} © closely interwoven in its provisions that the whole! must be adopted. The advocates of the league backed! him in that arbitrary and unreasonable proposal, be-| lieving that members of the United States senate would make the “supreme sacrifice” rather than re- road situation. The investigation is designed to as-| mount to-all” and if they could get it woyen into the peace treaty, they could put it over, regardless of how distasteful it might be to Americans and how great the sacrifice the United States would be called’ upon to make. But they found themselves out of harmony with American sentiment.
