$764,000,000 from Directo/ AkAdyi>
and over $300,000,000 from Director
Hines. Hoping to stop such hold-up?
and to hear disputes, Congress treat
ed a Railroad Board, costing $200,000
annually, yet its decision binds the
railroads hut does not bind the em-
ployees. Following their coercive
threat of a Nation-wide tie-up unless
such Board rendcijfd an immediate fa-
vorable dicision, said Board lately
granted tc thj employees an a.l liti< n 1
annual wage increase of $600,000,000.
The Government has paid to the raii-
rtads all such losses, and through the
increased passenger and freight rates
the Public is to recoup the railroads
for these large -*Mnp «- -h y. a.\ The.
people could stand it if they got gn ' '
service. But the service grows worse
and worse. Few trains are ever run
on time. Business men mi-s all trains
connections. Civil information from
employees is a dream cf the past.
Many shippers have lately informed
mo that it is impossible to get a ear
set for loading or unloading without
first paying to the yard crew a sub-
stantial tip. The service is iusl what
the employees make it. Trains run
on time according to how train crews
move and perform their duty. All
railroad employees move deliberately
and serve indifferently. They are not
afraid of being nred. They main-
tain strictly a closed shop. When
they don't work, nobody else works.
What) care they for efficiency, The
railroads are helpless. They have no
power to force good service. They
cannot require efficiency. They can-
not discharge inefficients. When a
strike is so unreasonable that it shock
the public, by way of excuse the Am-
erican Federation of Labor and the
Brotherhoods denounce it as an "Out-
law Strike" wholly unauthorized, yet
in no such instance have they ever vis-
ited punishment upon the outlaws, but
