Would Cut Farmers' Prices, Stop In dustry And Face Cities With Starvation New York.?On one point related t; the demands of the unions of trail service enmloves for a heavy increase in wages the sentiment of the genera public has been expressed in no tin certain terms. That is on the ques tion of a strike. Declarations have come front ever; quarter that an interruption of trans portation will not be tolerated by tin public, but will call forth drastic ac tion. The enormous injury to th< country that would result front a na tion-wide strike of train service em ployes is discussed by a writer it tie .March National Magazine, fron which the following extract is taken What such a strike would mean t< trie American people cannot be se forth in mere facts and figures. 1 can be dimly imagined by those wh< realize what an intimate and vita (tart railway transportation piays it every industrial activity of the coun try. There is scarcely a person in ant part of the land who wouid not b? immediately afiected if the million! of busily turning wheels or. oul nearly three hundred thousand mile; of railway were to stop for a sing!* day. If the Jie-up continued for i week, the blow to the industry o the country would be greater thar that caused by any panic of recen history. To the big cities of the coun try, and particularly to the cities o the eastern seaboard it would meai a cutting off of the food supplies thai would place the inhabitants virtuallj in a state of siege. In the case o: many food products these cities dc not carry on hand a stock sufficleni to feed their people for more than i ween, anu in me case or some, suet as milk and fresh vegetables, supplies are replenished daily. The stoppage of transportation, therefore, woulc mean suffering and want to these city dwellers, and If continued for lonj would threaten many of them witl actual starvation. To the farmers of the country r general railroad strike would be t catastrophe, only less seridus. Cui ?ff from his market, the farmer coulc not move his produce, and the pric< of grain and other staples would b< quickly cut in two, which the marke talue of more perishable articles would disappear entirely. The grea industrial plants of the country woulc soon b<e forced to close down follow ing the declaration of a strike be cause th?y could not obtain supplies needed f<>r their operation, nor coulc they shin their finished products t< market. Their plants would soon b< idle, and millions of men would b< thrown out of work. With the in come of practically every class o citizens either seriously rut down oi suspended entirely, merchants woulc transact little business, because thert would be few purchasers. In short - - - e the industrial activities iu >uc ?nw., country would he virtually palsiei from the moment the railroads ceas ed to operate. FOLLY IN DEMAND FOR SHORT TRAINS RUDE BY ONIONS Might Just As Well Ask Country T< Return To Sailing Boats And Ox Carts Washington, D. C.?To the publli that pays every dollar of the rallroat bill (and forty-five cents of every dol lar paid for transportation is fo wages) the leaders of the foui brotherhoods of railway employees who are demanding increased pay say: "All the railroads have to d< to meet our demands for highe; wages is to shorten their trains, movi freight more rapidly, and escape th< penalty of overtime wages.' The fallacy of this statement, whicl Is the last-ditch argument used ii support of the demand for Increase! wageB. is well shown in the followini editorial which appeared in th< Washington, D. C. Times of April 19 under the heading "A Mad Kreigh Train Idea:" "Everybody in the ranks of th< general public will agree with tin railway managers that the campaign which the railway workers are was !ng, particularly in the west, for short er trains, while at the same time de manding higher pay and fewer hour of work, is of all possible claims th< most preposterous. Indeed, in econom ics it is an ideal little short of mad "The railroads have spent hur dreds of milions of dollars lowerini grades, eliminating sharp curves ballasting roadbeds and putting ii heavy rails, so that powerful loco motives, larger cars, and longer train could be handled in one movement If this object had not been achieve! railway wages never could have beei advanced to the point at which the; already have arrived and traffic rate never could have been held dowj where they are today without thi whole railroad system of the lTnite< States being made a financial wreck 'Any child can see that if. afte the principal railroads of the coun try have been reconstructed 10 nan the heavier tonnage in mass, you cu every freight train in half, the cos of operation must be increased st'u pendously, with two locomotive | where one now does, with two engi neers where one now does, with tw< | firemen where one now does, wit] two conductors where one now doe? with virtually two whole train crew where one now does, not to speak o the new equipment and the new ter minal facilities that would be needed "This proposal Is not essentiall; j different from urging that the worli go back from the steamships of to day ?o the sail barks of centurie ago, from the railroads themselve: I to the stage coaches and ox carts o the past.
