Opposes Cutting Wages as Solution of Railroad Problem. New York, July 19—There are just three ways in which the problem now facing the railroads of the country may be solved, namely, increased rates, decreased wages or increased business, in the opinion of J. T. Hara- han, president of the Illinois Central railroad, who arrived here yesterday on the steamer Mauretania after a vacation trip to Europe. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad, is of the opinion that the only solution of the financial problem that confronts the railroads is an increase in freight rates. Mr. Hill is strongly opposed to a cut in wages as a means of in- creasing the net earnings of the rail- roads. Mr. Hill, who has just returned from a fishing trip in Canada, made the fol- lowing statement yesterday: “There is no alternative but to raise rates. The credit of the railroads has been seriously impaired. The way to enhance credit is to increase rates. “Wages should not be cut. Efficient labor is essential.to successful opera- tion. Railroad employes have pecul- far responsibilities. They have to meet a hard test. They should get fair recompense. Cut wages 10 per cent and the man who got $15 last week gets $13.50 this week. It is the dif- ference between meat and no meat. “Freight rates in this country are low beyond comparison. Receiving but one-half and even one-third of rates received in European countries, the wages paid railroad employes here average 100 per cent higlter than those paid in Europe.” EMPEROR IS ILL.
