Prices and Wages Fixed by Govern- ; ment Leave Little Scope for Managements. I I Washington, D. C?In testifying before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce in the general investigation into the railroad situation, witnesses for the railroads contended that: (1) The costs of operation are ab- j normal, owing chiefly to wage scales i established by the government which j exceed wages paid for similar work in other industries, ami to wasteful labor costs, often for work not done, enforced unon the railroads by the so [ called "National Agreements." (2) That 97% cents out of every j dollar of operating expenses in 3920 i were at prices fixed directly by the ! government, or by general market con- j ditions and over which the railroad : managements had no control. (3) That the general business depression was not due to the high freight rates, but ro the lack of buy- ( lng both here and abroad. One of the most striking facts j brought out in the testimony present- j ed by the first witness. Julius Krutt- . schnitt, chairman of^the board of di- j rectors of the Southern Pacific, was i the following, in explanation of the j chief reason for the increase in op- : erating expenses since 1916: "The labor bill of the carriers in j 1916 (which was before the Adamson ; law took effect) stood at $1,468,576,394. In 1920 it was $3,698,216,351. an in- ' crease of $2,229,839,957. "The increase by years since 1916 j has been as follows: Increase In 1917 $270,905,748 Increase in 1918 874,331,209 Increase in 1919 229,315,081 Increase in 1920 855,087,919 or an aggregate increase since 1916 of $2,229,839,057 Exhibits were placed before the j /.AmmUtiu, .'linninnr ttinf the Villi v viiiiuaicr ouv?* ui^ inut *vj. v**v , roads of the whole country, increased expenses in 1920 over 1919 were as follows: Actual expenses for 1920.$6,163,138,341 Actual expenses for 1919. 4,667,774,131 Inc. for 1920 over 1919.$1,495,364,210 j Mr. Kruttsrlmitt, in showing lu.w little control the railroads had over necessary expenditures, said: "Sixty-four cents out of every doi- i lar of operating expenses were, in j 1920, paid out to labor, and the wages ' of labor are fixed by the government. I "Fifteen cents out of every dollar j of operating expenses was paid for j materials and supplies at prices fixed j by the government. "Three and one-half cents out of | every dollar was paid for other ex- j penses inetuTed by the government in ! the first two months of 1920. "A total, therefore, of 82% cents our j of every dollar of operating expenses.; for 1920 was paid out at prices direct- j ly fixed by ilie government. "The remainder, up to 97|/2 cents, j was for materials and supplies, pur- j chased at prices fixed by general mar- j ket conditions and beyond the power i of the railroads to control." To illustrate how l^bor costs were j inflated by the "National Agreements'' entered into during federal control, fixing rules and working conditions, the following examples were cited: i 1. The Pere Marquette Railway was compelled to pay $9,364 in back pay to four employees because their titles under those agreements were changed j by a decision of the Director General, ! while the nature of their duties and ; the volume of their work remained ! the same. 2. A car repairer on the Virginian j Railway was paid $1,000 for work he ! never did. He was laid off with other ; employees because there was no work for him to do. When he became entitled under his "seniority rights" to be re-employed, he received back pay i and overtime. ; 3. The Shop Crafts Agreement pro- i vides that when employees are required to check in and out on their ! own time they will be paid for one I hour extra at the close of each week, no matter how few hours they may j have worked. This rule in the first ; six months of 1920 cost the railways $6,500,000. or at rate of $13,000,000 a year. 4. On the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail- 1 road piecework car repairers decreas- " ed 41.4 per cent and airbrake repair- \ ers 33.4 per cent in efficiency under a guarantee of a fixed minimum rate yer nuui. i 5. On the abolition of piece work . on the Union Pacific Railroad in the 1 wheel shop at Omaha, Nebr.. the time ! required for the same work was in- j creased 31.9 per cent and the output j was cut down 24 per cent; and in a coach-cleaning yard at Denver the 1 time required was increased 38.S per cent and the output decreased 2S p?r j cent. 6. Southern Pacific employee.!, whose sole duty was to keep watch on stationary engines and to stop the j engine in case anything went wrong. | were reclassified by Director General as "electrical workers." one man on the Salt Lake division being given back pay of $2,381, another $2,U94, another $2,009, another $2,003, and six others amounts varying from $1,500 to $1,900. 7. Under the present classification rules of the shop crafts, in order to change a nozzle tip in the front end of a locomotive it is necessary to call a boiler maker and his helper to open the door, because that is boiler makers' work; to call a pipeman and his helper to remove the blower pipe, because that is pipemen's work; and call a machinist and his helper to remove the tip, because that is machinists' work; also for the same force to be employed for putting in the new tip. Questioned by Senator l'uindexter, Mr. Kruttschnitt stated that these in stances might be increased indefinitely and weve characteristic on railroads of the country, as a result of the "Agreements" left over from federal control.

Reports to Southern Baptist Convention at Chattanooga Show Marked 1 Progress Along Every Line of Organized Work. ' DR. J. H. RUSHBROOKE Baptist Commissioner For Europe. Collections in cash totaling $25,103,' j 424.64 have been made for general causes fostered by the Baptist 75 Million Campaign since the campaign j was launched in 1919, according to a j report to the Southern Baptist Con- j vention, which has just adjourned its [ Chattanooga session, by Dr. L. R. , Scarborough, general director of the campaign, and chairman of the Conservation Commission. The fact that $12,924,943.60 of this amount was collected during the past year, under the most depressing conditions known in years, is- very meouraging to the de- j nominational leaders, they say. Will Seek the Unsaved. Feeling the need of conserving the ' spiritual interests of the people as f well as the financial aspects of the ; campaign, the convention asked the Conservation Commission to seek r.: enlist, through the state and associational organizations, all the 27,000 local Baptist churches- in the South in a larger evangelistic effort during th<next twelve months, the aim being to induce as many individual members of the churches as possible to win at least one soul to Christ during the new year. Reports to the convention showed that there were 173,595 persons received into the local Baptist churches by baptism during the past year, and a much j laro'pr nnmhpr will he sousrht durim! ! the vear aheacl. Would Evangelize Europe. One of the interesting actions of the i convention was the decision to back up fully the Foreign Mission Board in Its program for $e evangelization ot the new European territory of Spain, Jugo-Slavia, Hungary, Roumania, the Ukraine and Southern Russia. Dr. J. H. Rushbrooks," of London, Baptist Commissioner for Europe, addressed the convention, telling how h'e had distributed the relief funds contributed by Baptists for the needy families of those countries and how the giving of this relief had opened wide the door of missionary opportunity. Work on the older foreign fields during the past year was unusually successful, the board reporting receipts of $2,404,988 for its missionary operations and $278,000 for relief work, as well as $100,000 worth of clothing; 6,998 baptisms on the foreign fields; 187 of the 611 churches self-supporting, with a total of 405 foreign missionaries and 978 native workers employed. Home Mission Board Active. The Home Mission Board reported 77,072 additions to the churches through its instrumentalities, church extension operations of $1,24S,000, and 298 patients treated at the Tubercular Sanatorium at El Paso. During the year the receipts of the Sunday School Board reached $1,147,721.73, and the board turned back into general work of the denomination the sum of $189,000. Although only three years of ?ge, f the Relief and Annuity Board, which | seeks to supply the needs of aged, de-'i pendent .ministers and their families, has doubled the number of beneficiaries' receiving aid from the denomination as well as the amount of relief given. It now has permanent resources in excess of $900,900. There are 119 Baptist educational institutions in the South, with a total enrollment of 40,000 pupils, the report of the Education Board showed, and 2,1S5 of these pupils ar? preparing for special Christian service, such as t. ministry, missionary and other special religious work. The Woman's Missionary Union, representing the organized women of the South, reports a total of 19.485 organized societies of women and young people, while the cash contributions by tile women to the various causes fostered by the denomination during the year amounted to $8,115,437. i Taking Precautions The composer appeared in the office of his publisher one morning, and with calm assurance returned a check for $200. "i'ou can de-Troy that." he told the publisher, 'and make out one to mv credit for $500." "Nonsense," came the reply. ''That's your royalty to date for your last song." "Oh. no. it isn't, said the composer, 'Do you mean to insinuate that the firm is " ."I insinuate nothing. I make the simple statement that I want $500 in royalties. For the first time in my life I can be positive as to the amount. I married your bookkeeper yesterday." So Natural. "I don't see how you allow your cook to abuse your husband that way," commented a caller as an angry female voice resounded through the house. "Oh. he doesn't mind it." answered the hostess. "You see, he's a basefall umpire and he isn't working to-I day and I was afraid he wouldn't ap1 TOfiate his afternoon off."
