markets. Bill Is Filed On appeal to the supreme court the convictions were reversed. Mr. Hoffman introduced a bill seeking to strengthen the ineffective anti-racketeering act four days after the supreme court opinion was rendered. His bill was filled away by the Democratic house leadership. But congress got around to racketeering last year and enacted the Hobbs bill. That bill would class the racketeers ‘as common robbers and put them in the clink {for 20 years at a maximum and fine them $10,000, to boot. Mr. Hpffman's committee has just come up with sworn evidence {of outrageous labor racketeering in Philadelphia. What he wants to know is why the justice department has not done something about it. The new anti-racketeering act has been on the books for nine months now. But this act, as the one in 1934,

conviction. Situation Intolerable

with Mr. Tobin's close association with the Roosevelt administration in mind, Mr. Hoffman raises the question whether there was a political deal to protect Mr. Tobin's teamsters. Mr. Hoffman said, “one thing is ‘lsure. The present situation is intolerable. If the justice department has been and is negligent, {let it repent and get busy. If it lacks adequate law to cure the | ! |evil, then let it so advise congress.”

a fair return would be 109%,..

What We Make

But for the year 1946, with the biggest peacetime traffic in Ristory, the railroads earned only ele 234% “This is-less then. one-half the.comparable earnings for other industries.

The reasons for this low return are not hard to ;

find. Since 1939 railroad wages have increased 528/10%; and the prices of fuel, materials and supplies have gone up 616/0%. But freight rates have just recently been increased an average of only 176¢/10%—a year after the effective date of the last big wage increase.

What About This Year?

Itis estimated that the return for 1947, even with the recent freight rate increase, will be only about half the 69, minippum return required to provide the improvements and service needed. This will be because of increased costs of materials and supplies; because certain wage increases granted in + 1946 were in effort for only pesto} of 1 1946 but will

What Does This Mean To You?

The answer is “Plenty!” Your standard of living is the highest in the world because of MASS PRO- ' pucriQN. But mass production would not be possible without MASS TRANSPORTATION, which the railroads provide at low cost.

: Why 6% Is Needed The kind of service your standard of living requires takes a lot of money for new equipment and improvements. To carry out the post-war improvement program for better equipment, tracks, terminals and modern safety devices, a minimum return of 6% is needed. So when the railroads make only 234 cents on

The funds for future new ecient and i improvements must come from railroad earnings and also from investors. They will furnish money

. on reasonable terms only if they have ¢onfidence

in the future earnings of the railroads.

You Have Another Stake In This Even if you do not own any railroad stocks or bonds, insurance companies and-savings banks do. So you still have a special interest 8 seeing that. the railroads are allowed enough to do a good job . . . for you.
