In this way the railroad administrations have attached to op- erating expenses large fixed charges | J and admin trative costs. On the other hand, in the matter of expendi- tures 1o promote the development and improvement of the railroad in- dustry the managements have been peculiarly “9. Administrative neglect to main- tain engineering research. and neg- lect or resistance to improvement .Zenerally. Railroad administrators have been so backward and so ad- dicted to rule-of-thumb methods that they have neglected or refused to establish scientific laboratories and bureaus of research for the improve- ment of the railway service, as has been done successfully in all progres- sive industries.” Says Cost Finding Was Fought. According to the exhibit, railway managers in many cases have sys- tematically fought entific c introduction of the of personnel han- standardization in equipment finding methods; newer method: dling: and similar innovations. In respect ' 10 cost accounting. the exhibit ar- gues that railway equipment de- terioration often has occurred be- cause the management has declared dividends without regard to the maintenance of adequate reserves to v cover depreciation. Regarding per- sonnel efficiency. Norman Collyer of sthe Southern Pacific is quoted as saying “that five times a minute, 300 times an hour, 7.200 times a day or 2,592,000 times a year, an employe . i8 lost and replaced. In other words, the labor turnover of the railroads, . according to his estimate, is over 140 per cent.”, The exhibit ‘specifies in consideri- ble detail many of the particular economics which the employes hink should be adopted. but, they say, are not in genmeral use upon the rail- ways, and alleged inefficiencies com- plained of being based upon com- parisons with the standards of ac- tual experience and the practices in use upon well managed roads. Data Derived From Studies. ] he data in the exhibit were de- , rived mainly from studies and reports of consulting engineers, mechanical engineers and other technicians in the railway industry, from the estimates and judgments of the executive of- ficers of many large railroads and from experts in matters of railway equipment, according to union of- ficials. Matter is included also from the proceedings of important railway associations and clubs and from rail- way periodicals, governmental in- vestigations and the reports of of- ficials of the’ United States Railroad Administration. The employes raise the point that “the guarantee to the railway com. panies by the Uniled States govern ment is not to be construed as an un- conditional privilege granted to the raflway operators to levy fixed charg- | s upon shippers, consumers, employes i and the public in general without any Faccountability on the part of the rail- way administration themselves.” The employes take the position that the railway inspectors must assume cer- tain responsibilitics and that among these responsibilities is the obliga- tion to give the public a railway ad- have selected. 522, é | % 2 § z 7 2 .. 3 900 F Street __(Continued from Fi 1 A Stranger Your Executor A friend or relative appointed as executor or trustee may die, refuse to accept the trust, or resign on account of ill health, failure in business, lack of proper qualifica- tions or experience in settling estates or other reasons, and the court may appoint as his successor a stranger or some person whom the testator knew but would not When d:is Company is appointed you know with cer- tainty who will execute your will and safeguard the in- terests of your estate and heirs.
