Page Four RAILROADS DEFY LAW BY KEEPING EXCESS PROFITS Embezzle $50,000,000 Government Claims By LELAND OLDS, Federated Press Industrial Editor. The extent to which the railroads of the country are holding back millions of dollars which belong to the govern- ment under the profit sharing provi- sion of the transportation act is re- vealed by the interstate commerce commission. This provision ordered the roads to turn over half the profits in excess of 6 per cent to the govern- ment. Following their failure to have this declared unconstitutional they have resorted to further inflation to minimize huge 1923 profits. Forty-four railroads, with 1923 profits of approximately $300,000,000, according to the commission, had a net income in excess of 6 per cent on the value shown in their own 1922 financial reports. The excess amount- ed to $71,477,269. In 1922 profits in excess of 6 per cent were shown by 22 roads, the excss amounting to $29,- 989,274. Excess Profits of $100,000,000. Thus to date the stronger roads have received excess profits of over $100,000,000 on the basis of existing high freight rates and according to the law half of this belongs to the government to help the weaker roads. But the strong roads are resorting to every legal subterfuge to keep this $50,000,000 from the government. ‘The excess profits of a few of the roads are shown: SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CZECHO-SLOVAK MEMBERS OF THE WORKERS PARTY A controversy has arisen between the board of directors of the Spra- vedinost, the organ of the Czecho- Slovakian federation of the Workers party, and the Czecho-Slovak feder- ation bureau of the party.

Profits per mile on these roads, the commission shows, were greatly in ex- cess of the average fer the country as a whole, which was $4,149. The At- lantic Coast Line is the only excep- tion. Profit per mfle on the roads serving the steel industry was partic- ularly excessive. Thus the Bessemer & Lake Erie made a net profit of $30,- —--o95-a mile tm 1923; the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific $114, 362; the Duluth, Missabe & Northern $34,911; the Higin, Jolet & Eastern $11,837; the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie |. $66,999. The Bessemer & Lake Hrie has paid cash dividends totaltmg over 2,500 per cent since 1908, or an average of more than 1% times the entire investment each year. The Duluth road has paid dividends totaling 865 per cent since 1912. Both belong to U. S. Steel. Sheer Embezzling. It was the aim of congress to cor- yect such excesses arising out of uni- form rates by the clause providing for a 50-50 division of profits in excess of 6 per cent. The supreme court de- olares this clause the key to the whole uniform rate plan, and says: “The statute declares the carrier to be only a trustee for the excess over a fair return, the excess never becomes its property and the carrier never has such a title to the excess as to render the recapture of it by the government taking it without due process of law.” In other words, the carriers holding back excess profits are guilty of em- bezzling government funds on a huge scale. fear Are you self-conscious about the impression you make on people? | gages appearance has a lot to do with the way you feel.

That is the position of Congressman Victor Berger, who sees in the en- dorsement by LaFollette of the Re publican state ticket in Wisconsin a serious danger to harmony in the pro- gressive ranks. Wants New Party. “We Socialists are keenly aware of the importance ‘of this moment in the Political history of the country,” he told The Federated Press. “We know that now is the psychological moment for the creation of a new party. La- Follette can lead it. Conditions are all in its favor. We are ready to do our share. And even if LaFollette is persuaded that the best results will be secured by making his candidacy | gation a few months ago to Soviet this year an independent one, we can | Russia to. select land, received a very still. co-operate if the movement is a |optimistic report from its delegation. movement independent of the old capi- | talist parties.

We will not go into any faction of the Republican party.” Rep. Berger explained that the So- cialists of Wisconsin are preparing to place in the field a full state ticket, centering much of their fire upon Gov. Blaine, who has the endorsement of LaFollette. He said the Socialists may even capture the state. From. Lincoln to Gary. Addressing the House May 27 on the history and nature of American political parties, Berger showed how the party of Abraham Lincoln became the party of Judge Gary, Andrew Mel- lon, Fall, Daugherty and Sinclair,|were the second day after the revo- while the Democratic party of Jeffer- | lution. son became the party of McAdoo, Pal-| mer and Doheny. He quoted Bris: | bane’s ‘remark, that the Democratic party is the spare tire on the back of the Republican machine, operated by. crooked business. He cited the insincerity of many reformers toward their own platforms, and said that, in spite of the inclu- sion of public ownership of railroads in the Wisconsin platform of the La- Follette Republicans, the leader of the LaFollette delegation in the House when asked whether he favored pub- lic ownership of railroads, replied that he did not. Red Raiders. Again, LaFollette stood the acid test of opposition to the war, yet his fol- lowers in Congress and in the Wis- consin legislature “were terrorized by the profiteer press and the patrioteer propaganda. They fell by the way- side, kept silent, or became patrio- teers. They voted for the infamous espionage act, for the trading with the enemy bill, for suppression of freedom of speech and abolition of the free press. They directly or indirect- ly supported all the doings of Wood- row Wilson, A. Mitchell Palmer and Albert S. Burleson. And when the war ended these so-called progressives were just as willing to substitute the red scare for the German terror. They were willing to eat radicals alive in- stead of Huns.” He proceeded to a detailed analysis of the record of Gov. Blaine, accus- ing Mim of having stood with the Ford interests and having defeated a pub- lic ownership plan for hydro-electric development, defeated ¢ight-hour and old-age pension laws, and prevented tax reform. It would appear that Sen. LaFol- lette’s difficulty in Wisconsin this year will not be in esteblishing his con- servatism, but the reverse. Picnic Season On: N. Y.

Little doubt exists but that the president wil sign the present bill, be- cause it is the best compromise he can get now, and business is clamor- ing for relief from the uncertainty over tax legislation, However, Mr. Coolidge clings to his belief that the Mellon plan is far superior. To vindicate the president and to permit the electorate to choose repre- ntatives who will yote for the Mel- lon plan in the next’ congress, cap- tains of the Coolidge forces will see that a plank indorsing it is written into the platform, sharply defining the tax issue between the two great par- ties.

WASHINGTON, June 2.—With all the indignant enthusiasm of a school- boy, Senator Frank Gooding of Idaho discovered the workings of the capi- talist system of production of public opinion, when he demanded immedi- ate passage of his resolution calling for an investigation into how much money the railroad corporations haye been spending to influence congress and the voters. His move was soon sidetracked, under the rules, “Propaganda by the railroads is now saturating the country, and is charged up to operating expenses, so that the public pays the bill,” he cried. “They are advertising in all the little country papers in Idaho and they are controlling the commercial clubs by means of field agents. They spent a lot of money in support of-the Mellon tax plan, and the public had to pay for it in freight rates. I want the interstate commerce commission to investigate and report to us how much money is being spent by them, at our cost, on holding our minds, and who gets it.” Steel Trust Senator Objects. Reed of Pennsylvania objected that this inquiry would add another $500,- 000 to the cost of government, and that all investigations by congress or at the order of congress produced “no good.” Edge of New Jersey also felt | that. railroad propaganda campaigns were legitimate. Brookhart strongly supported Good- ing, remarking that almost every rail- road that crosses Iowa has had its president out there in his private car to campaign aaginst Brookhart’s nom- ination to the senate. A Cedar Rap- ids paper had just published a féur- page advertisement, paid for by a rail- road at the cost of the public, attack- ing him. Norris seconded this testi- mony by saying that it was time congress knew how much had been spent on the propaganda conducted by the railroads for the Mellon plan and against any change in the Esch- Cummins act, as well as for the de- feat of “certain individuals” at the polls. The people ought to know how much they had to pay for misleading themselves. Hits Railroad Newspapers. ‘When Reed prevented unanimous consent for taking up the resolution in.a_ limited hour before another bill should gain the floor, the senate sol- emnly voted, 41 to 19, to immediately consider it. The hour was talked out, and Gooding’s investigation measure went over to another day. During the debate Senator Trammell of Florida urged that railroad owned newspapers were as dangerous as railroad. adver- tisements in private newspapers. Nd- body expressed any doubt that the competitive system could ‘be purged of all paid efforts to befuddle the vot- ers’ minds. Send in that Subscription Today! Amalgamated Textile Workers Convene in New York, May 30 NEW YORK, June 2.— Further measures to strengthen the stand al- ready taken by the union against wage reductions in the textile indus- try will be under consideration at the sixth general convention of the Amal- gamated Textile Workers of America, which will open here on May 30, ac- cording to a statement issued today by Russell Palmer, genral secretary of the organization. Organizers are now at work among carpet workers in va- rious places, including Thompsonville, Conn.; Clinton, Mass,, and Amster- dam, N. Y., Palmer declared. The general executive board of the Amalgamated will meet in Nw York on May 29 to make final arrangements for the convention. Delegates will be in attendance from the chief textile states and from al departments of the textile industry. “Along with other business,” said Palmer, “the executive board’ will have under consideration plans for stimulating resistance in Fall River and New Bedford to the steady en- croachments of the manufacturers in increasing the number of looms and amount of other machinery for the workers to tend at reduced wages. The questent attitude of the craft union leaders in these centers of the cotton manufacturing industry is a crying shame, Rumbling of revolt among the rank and file are manifest on all side: The convention, which will be held at the People’s House, East 15th St., will also nominate officers for th coming year, to be elected by refer endum vote. vention, which drafts the platform, is regarded as daditional confirmation of the statement that the plan will be in the platform. _ Tartar Bank Starts, MOSCOW.—The Council of Labor and Defense has ratified the constitu- tion of the Tartar bank formed to as- sist in the development of economic activity in the Tartar republic.

Pe h WORKERS FIGHTING THRUOUT GERMANY FOR EIGHT-HOUR DAY | BERLIN, June 2.—Bitter strug- gles are ensuing all along the line between employers and workers in Germany. The offensive is primari- ly directed against the eight-hour day. The ‘wood industry is fighting on this polnt. The ship builders for the past 15 weeks have locked out 50,000 men who refused to work longer than eight hours. In Berlin there are strikes in the building in- dustry because the bosses are not satisfied with an eight-hour day. The struggle in Berlin threatens strikes in other cities.

CONSTITUTION LETS 1,500,000 CHILDREN SLAVE Amendment is Vitally Needed to Save Kids By the Federated Press. NEW YORK, June 2.—Unless the anti-child labor constitutional amend- ment goes thru it is impossible to cope with the menace of child labor, is the judgment of the National Child Labor committee, after twenty years of experience in reform activity. Despite progress that has been made, “according to conservative es- timates there are. still approximately a million and a half children between 10 and 15 years of age exposed to the rigors of industry and denied their fair share of educational oppor- tunity.” This statement is made by General Secretary Owen R. Lovejoy in reporting to the child labor com- mittee on its twentieth anniversary. He draws the following contrast be- tween conditions existing twenty years ago and today. Worse in 1904, “When the committee began its work in 1904, 47 states allowed chil- dren of 14 to work. nine, ten, 11 or 12 hours a day, and in many states night work was common. Extensive lists of occupations in which children were employed were entirely outside the scope of. state laws and local ordi- nances, and the number of child labor- ers had become so great as to cause national alarm. “Today... ... all but seventeen states now enforce a maximum eiglit- hour day to safeguard children of 14 years against overwork, exhaustion and exposure to danger. Thirty-six states forbid employment of any child under 14 at night work in factories and stores.” Laws-Not Enforced. But that benighted standards still exist in many. states is shown by the following figures: “In North Carolina children of 14 may now be legally em- ployed 11 hours a day, and in Georgia boys of 12 and girls of 14 may be em- ployed without violation of law. A number of states still practice the dis- , |ingenuous policy of passing very good child labor laws and then starving the official department by inadequate ap- propriations so that enforcement of the law becomes impossible.” Child labor in agriculture consti- tutes one of the most serious phases of the problem because of the number employed and the difficulty of enforc- ing usual limitations of hours and ages. + PITTSBURGH, PA.

GAINS IN HUNGARY Rulers Postpone Trials of Communist Emigres (Special to The Daily Worker) BUDAPEST, June 2.—The trials of the. chief Communist emigres have been postponed indefinitely. They were to have come up in June and included those of Ernest Garami, Count Michael Karolyi and Sigmund Kunfit. Only the lesser Communist officials and public employes will be allowed to return under the limited amnesty terms recently conceded by the Beth- len government. Government an- nouncements say that amnesty is of- fered only to political refuges who will swear that they helped out the Communist government of Bela Kun under compulsion and that they really did not believe in the dictatorship of the proletariat, The emigres must also procure a certificate of “good character” from the police of the place where they have been staying and have it visaed by the Hungarian embassy. These terms are considerd an insult by the emigres. Social-Democrats Doubtful. The Social-Democrats are beginning to be disillusionéd about the “moder- ate” leadership of the government, and the radicals are in open revolt against the treachery of the Bethleh regime. Trade unions are extremely dissatisfied with the government’s “White Guard” tactics of clapping into jail any one caught uttering a word against the present rulers. Since Hungary‘s premier, Count Stefan Bethlen, forced the rehabilita- tion program thru the National As- sembly, no further action has been taken by the government to carry out its vague promises to return the coun- try to more normal condition.

Stop Explosions With Rock Dust Mine Chief Says (By The Federated Press) WASHINGTON, June 2.—Two coal mine explosions in the United States since the first of this year have “cost about a million dollars each in work- men’s compensation, property damage and other costs,” says Chief Engineer Geo. S. Rice of the U. S. Bureau o} Mines, in an official press statement, arguing that the use of rock dust would have prevented all this com- bustion of coal dust in the mines. He does not mention human lives lost, nor suffering entailed by these two horrible catastrophes which might have been prevented, but asserts that the money damage involved was enough to have rock-dustea Ti the bi- tuminous mines in the United States. The cost of this means of preventing coal dust explosions, as proven by English experience over a period of years, is from % cent to 1 cent per ton. In short, getting blood smeared over our soft coal is a business ex- travagance that ought, for practical reasons, to be cut out.
