PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF RAILROADS MEANS EFFICIENT OPERATION Chicago, 111., Oct. 20, —Referring to the advocacy of government ownership of railways by the LaFollette-Wheeler party in the present political enmpaign, Samuel O. Dunn, editor of the Railway Age declared in an address bi fore the Western Railjway Chib tonight that “the facts about what has occurred on the railways of the United States since government operation was i adopted on 4»inuary 1, 1918, as- : ford the most conclusive possible argument against government operatich and in favor of private ownership and management. “Never in the history of any railways in the world.” said Mr. Dunn, “were there produced in ’so short a time so many results j proving the superiority of private operation over government | operation. The government operated the railways far twentysix months. Because government operation was adopted as a war measure it has been repeatedly said that its results did not indicate what would be the results of government operation in peace time. The fact is. howfever, that the government ,qperated the railways only nine'months while the country was at war and seventeen mon|ta after the ; armistice was signed. Therefore, [there was ample time, after the .war was terminated, to get a [good idea of what would occur i under permanent government operation. — “Let us then compare what actually centred under government operation with what oc- | curred since the railways were i returned to private operation. [When the government took the railways in December, 1917, thev had 1.700.000 employees and when it handed them back on March I, 1920, they had about 2.0C0.0<‘0 employees, an increase of 300,000. The railways under private operation have, in 1924. handled a much larger traffic than they did in 1919 and yet the average number of men employed by them this year has been only 1,770.000. “The railways, under private 1

operation. „ are paying higher wages than w’ere paid under government operation. The average w'age per day of railway employees in the first seven months of 1919 was $3.80 and in the first seven months of 1924 it was $1.39 per day. This was 53 cents per day more, or at the rate of $194 a year more. "Betweeti December, 1917 and February, 1920. under government operation, the operating expenses of the railways increased from $8,107,000 a day to $14,311,000 a day, or more than $6.200,000 a day. In July, 192 J. the operating expenses had been reduced to $2,400,000 a day less than they were at the termination of government operation. “Owing to the great increase in expenses under government operation, the Director General had to make a big increase in freight and passenger rates in 1918 and in spite of this increase in rates, there was incurred a deficit of $1,290,000,000 which the tax payer# had to pay. Within two mortths after the railways were returned to private operation, the Railroad Labor Board put into effect an advance in wages that exceeded two million dollars a day. Owing to the big increase in expenses under government operation and to this large advance in wages it was necessary again to advance rates in 1920. Since then, under priIvate management, in spite of higher wages, there has been a large reduction of operating expenses. and this has made possible reductions in rates which amounted, on the basis of the business handled in 1923, to 683 million dollars. "It has been claimed that the railways were in a dilapidated condition when the government took them and that it put them in gxkUconditio’i by investing a large amount of capital in them. The fact is, that every dollar of c’nital that wa| invested in the railways while’ the government had them was furnished by the railway companies. However, j how much actually was invested irX the railroads in 1918 and 1919 under government management? Tl|e statistics of the Interstate

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

! Commerce Commission show that I after all accounting adjustments ihad been made, the investment made by the government in the | two years amounted to 726 milI lion dollars. The statistics of the I commission also show that the j investment made in the properties by the railway companies in the year 1923 alone exceeded the ' total investment made by the 1 government in them in both 1918 and 1919. ! “The government, in 1918 and 1919,°put in service 4865 new lo{comotives. The railway companies, in 1922 and 1923, placed in service 5,263 new locomotives. The government, in 1918 and 1919, put in service only 141,268 new freight cars. The railway companies, in 1922 and 1923, put in service 288,761 new freight cars, or more than twice as many. The railway companies have had to buy within recent years so many new freight cars largely because when the government had the railways it did not buy enough. “It has been claimed that the Transportation Act guarantees the railways a return of 51 per cent. This is a mere fabricatiorf. i It does not guarantee them any I fixed return and in the four 'years since the war-time ‘guarantees’ were withdrawn, the rail- ; ways actually have earned on j their valuation an average of onjly 4 per cent. “In consequence of the great i improvements that have been | made in the properties and in j operating methods since the raik jways were returned to private i operation, they handled in 1923, I and are again handling now, a ’record breaking freight business ! while rendering the best service the shipping public of the United States ever received. “The history of our railways during the last seven years ■ proves that government manage- • ment means inefficient operation, increased operating expenses and .either higher freight and passenger rates, or a huge deficit for I the tax payers to pay. It proves ■that private management means Efficient operation and that efificient operation results in bene- ! fits both to the employees and to ' those who travel and ship goods and pay the rates." o Eye Trouble?

STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 20. — The corner stone for the new women’s dormitory being built at r cost of approximately $400.00 at Indiana university was laid at 4 o’clock Monday afternoon, Oct 20. This is the first of three I memorial buildings to progress far enough for a corner stone j hving. The new stadium is now ! under construction and the 1 men’s union building will be I erected later. Alumni, students, and friends of the university have pledged more than $1,400 000 for war memorial structures. Seventy-eight cents per day is the cost of board for students eating at the Indiana university cafeteria, according to figures made public here today. BreakFast costs sixteen and one-third cents, dinner thirty-one and onefourth cents, and supper thirtv and one-half cents. The cafeteria is run on a cost basis. Beggars are almost unknown in Germany and scarce in France according to a letter received here from Ray Thomas, Indian? vnive r s i t y graduate of last spring, who is touring Europe this year. England. Scotland, and Italy are troubled most with beggars, he says. Fifty-five women students are seeking places on the coed rifle team of Indiana university this year. Matches will be arranged with some of the leading university and college coed teams in the country. The Indiana girls made a name for themselves last year as a crack shot organization. Harry L. Onstott, of Rochester, who was graduated from Indiana university last spring, has accepted a position on the reportorial jstaff of the New Or-, leans Times-Picayune. o INCREASE IN COST OF FOOD Washington, Oct. 17. —An increase of about 2 per cent in the retail cost of food between August 15 and September 15 was reported today by the bureau of labor statistics of the department of labor, the weighted index number advancing from 144.2 to 146.8.

BERKSHIRE TON LITTER PIGS WIN HONORS' To Jenkins Brothers, Berkshire breeders of Orange County, Indima, goes the credit of being the first breeder to drive a pig - out of a ton litter through the show I ring to a championship honor in a leading hog show. Other breeds have won other ton litter honors, but to the Berkshire breed goes the honor of first.combining championship ability and ton litter ability—a happy combination. Jenkins Brothers produced the first Berkshire ton litter in Indiana. The first litter of ten weighed 2080 pounds at 180 days; the second litter of nine weighed 2190 pounds. A boar pig out of the latter litter received the champion honor. A gilt received the same honor. They were championships worth winning ' for they were won at the recent National Swine Show, the boar ; winning in a class of 19 and the Lgilt in a class of 37. The boar pig that won the 'junior championship at the National Swine Show has been purchased by Purdue University. Plans are being made by the University to develop swine breeding herds out of ton litter stock in each of the breeds kept. Jenkins Brothers fed their ton litters in a very practical way. The main part of the ration was equal parts, by measure, of ground corn and oats, with tankage and some skimmilk and buttermilk. These feeds were fed up to 150 days. From that time jOn hominy hearts, ground barley

and a commercial hog feed were used with the same supplements. The pigs were given plenty of range. One litter ran in a large bluegrass pasture, and the other in a 20-acre clover field. o Lake In Volcano Takes Bifl Drop.
