Co., East Ro- chester, N. Y. Mr. Lauc here named companies repairing cars for railroads, which he said had been hiring car repair me- chanics whom the railroads laid off. He gave names of some of the work- men and dates of their transfers. The report charged that the roads new policy is to subcontract in order to remove from government control many of-their men. Numerous repalr companies, many of them said to be new concerns, were named taking over railroad repairs. These includ- ed: Hornell Repair and Construction company, Hornell, N. Y., Eric work.

It was charged that the average. price charged by Baldwin Locomotive Works was approximately four times | the cost of similar work done in rail- road shops.

A report from Oswego, N. Y, charged that “In March, 1919, the shop here was full of steel flat cars (that was under government control) and the foreman only had about 24 men cutting them down. The rest of the men were walking about doing nothing at all and drawing their pay, but there was no lay off then. The government was paying for it, and not the N. Y. C. Now we have all kinds of work and we are laid off.” It was charged that in January at ‘Winston-Salem a foreman on the Nor- folk and Western was caught pulling tags off bad order cars, while at Blue- fleld on the same line foremen were alleged to have orders not to have defective equipment repaird.

Jewell, for the employes, that well known rail- road directorships, in 1920, on 993 Class One roads, covering 82 per cent. | of the country’s steam transportation. Naming these men again, the report said that a number of them ‘‘belong to the Inner banking circle cantering around the House of Morgan and the National City bank.’" Basic raw ‘materials were divided by the report into two classes, Agri- ucts. The effect’ pf the fall of agricultural ‘class, the re- asserted, had been to spread among farmers and to af- an excuse for sharp reduction in wages, and finally to cause a tem- porary manufacturing depression. 17 mineral raw materials had fallen, the report declared, industry would have been stimulated. It declared that the “financial combine” controlled the production of mineral raw materials. eel, cement and coal were specific- ally mentioned, as among the mineral naterials. The report charged that “the combine is holdipg up the prices of steel and jother railway supplies with a view of accentuating the de- pression and then persuading the pub- lic that the railways cannot agrec with the equipment rrices.” PIANO TEACHING Special 13 Summer Street. attention to beginners.
