Pennsylvania Railroad Head Predicts Era of Fortune for Labor and Capital

By SEA Service PHILADELPHIA. Sept. s.—Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, believes American railroads and other public utilities are about to enter an era of better fortunes and greater usefulness. President Rea, who has just returned from Europe, sums up his views forthwith: In so fundamental an industry as transportation no question transcends in importance that of relations between the companies and their employes. And if my judgment Is correct, the coming years will witness a decided trend toward the decentralization of machinery for settling disputed questions, and the adoption of the sounder methods of direct bargaining between companies and their working forces. Our own road and its men have already taken the leadership in this question, and there has been successfully set up a workable —and working —plan of employe representation for the adjustment of controversial matters. Unions will continue to exist, and they can do much good under wise leadership which appreciates financial and economic necessities. Direct bargaining between the separate managements and their own men, is. generally speaking, the correct method. Our employe representation plan on the Pennsylvania system is pure collective bargaining, and it is reasonable to believe that this method of wage adjustment, with more personal relations between management and workMINERS GRUNTED CHIDE OF HUE Cases Transferred From Brazil to Creencastle Before Judge Hughes.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

means mismanagement and use for political purposes. There Is a growing recognition of the truth that railroad rate making is largely a commercial matter, and, In order to be conducted on a sound basis must admit of some degree of Initiative and negotiation. Consequently I rather anticipate some changes hi this direction during the next few years. If conditions are such that the necessary funds can be obtained from investors, there should be decided progress in the electrification of railways, at such points where the density of traffic will warrant the capital outlay. The much-discussed motor truck will, I believe, become an important auxiliary to the railroad —supplementing rather than superseding it. For railroads are designed to be the "wholesale'’ carriers—to perform the heavy bulk service, especially over long distances. Motor transport, it would seem, is destined chiefly for the "retail" or local field. Marvelous scientific progress has been made in air transport, but neither in the matter of carrying passengers dr freight does It seem probable that this method of transportation will for many years seriously invade the field of land or water largescale transport. Broadly speaking, the great problem of the future will be to provide road and terminal facilities for the proper handling of the immense volume of traffic which we have every reason to anticipate.
