WMWIPHW RFW WW WB /^SMzHW^Charles J. Dutton Iliusirations by Irwin MyeW pMt 4 wBF W t iiWT ANEW story, bringing in John Bartley, investigator ofcrimes. The talented detective, returned from secret service work in the war, was immediately engaged by the governor of the state to ferret » out some facts in connection with an application for a pardon. It seemed a small case, hardly employment of such a prominent sleuth, yet it led to something big; to a mystery which, for a time, baffled all of his keen abilities. Those who read a detective story in order to match their wits against the author’s, will find a rare treat in this new serial.

CONDITION OF RAILROADS j A particularly timely and comprehensive survey of the rail- • roads of the United States, made by Judge George W r . Anderson of the Federal Court of Appeals, recently published in the New Republic, demands more than passing consideration. Judge Anderson before assuming* his duties on the bench, serve# for a time as a member of the Interstate Commerce Commsission. He has for many years devotee’ much study to the transportation problem. The view taken is not a reassuring one. Judge Anderson warns of the possibility that many of the outstanding railroad securities mjay become permanently non-income producing. He shows that the carriers have not prospered since their control was restored to private management, but that, on the contrary, operating expenses have increased approximately $1,400,000,000. The showing made, if the conclusions reached are accepted as fair, will tend to discourage the further voluntary investment of private capital in.railroad securities. He charges bad faith on the part of the carriers because of their refusal to accept, as a unit, the provisions of the Transportation Act of 1920. Present chotic conditions are easily traceable to the destructive strike of railroad labor last year, but it is shown that up until July all the labor organizations had obeyed the rulings of the Railroad Labor Board, while from fifty to one

| hundred railroad companies had disregarded them. I While the conclusion is reachI ed that there can never be uninterrupted service until railroad strikes are made illegal, it is conceded that they be made illegal Until there is a “radical change in railroad organization and management.” Although the processes to be followed are not indicated, it is apparent that Judge Anderson recognizes the imperative need, now, of such changes in organization and management. B>y inference, at least, he makes it appear that railroad strikes can be made illegal where those who serve owe a continuing allegiance to the public, the people as a whole, rather than to a corporate body whose managers and direc- . tors themselves ignore the law at their pleasure. So long as the , element of bad faith enters the problem will remain insoluble. ,—o Business organizations in ■ Memphis and other southern > cities complain that labor is being attracted to northern cities. r Labor is also being attracted - from northern farms to the i cities.
