IN WASHINGTON!
i
Excessive Labor Costs and Work- j
ing Conditions Chief Causes
of Trouble. !
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

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

"Agreements" left over from federal

Reports to Southern Baptist Convention

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

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.

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."
