Railway Wage Increases-Their Meaning
On the first of next month railway employes generally will re
ceive an increase of 5 per cent in pay, which will complete the res
toration of a 10 per cent decrease they received in 1932. Railway em
ployes will then enjoy the same compensation as prior to the de
pression, which for some classes of employes constitutes a peak for
railway history.
Railway management recognizes the efficient ard loyal service
of the industry s employes and anticipates naturally that renewed
energy and effort will follow the increased compensation. It recog
nizes further thut the additional wage disbursements will find their
way immediately into the channels of rade and hopes that beneficial
effects may follow. But management cannot view otherwise than
with grave concern the resumption of the highest wage scale in his
tory, when railway revenues are in a state of such depletion as now
exists.
The wage increase is not the result of’ regional prosperity on
the part of the railroads and should not be so interpreted by the pub
lic. It is the result of an agreement negotiated at Washington early
in 1934, when there was promise (which unfortunately did not ma
terialize) of increased earnings. The net earnings of the railways as
a whole have declined about 66 2-3 per cent since 1929, yet the 1929
wage scale is restored. The gravity of the situation is apparent when
it is understood that about 50 cents of every dollar spent by the
railroads goes for wages. The cost of materials, supplies, fuel ard
everything else the railroads buy has also increased, in some in
stances as much as 57 per cent.
There is no indication that the volume of traffic will increase
to an extent that will justify these increased expenditures.
The situation is a critical one and it cannot be denied that the
railroads face additional and wide-spread bankruptcy or govern
ment ownership. The only escape is through fair treatment by
press, public ami state and Federal authorities. Such a program of
fair treatment must exclude such restrictions as are proposed in a
Federal payroll tax for pensiors; sixdiour day; train crew and train
limit legislation; and must include measures to equalize the terms
of competition between arilroads and other carriers.
Constructive criticism ar.d suggestions are invited.
H. D. POLLARD, Receiver.
Savannah, Ga., March 12, 1935.
Presiden Roosevelt seems to be
meeting some little opposition in his
continuation of the recovery program
and it may be that some of his plans
will not be adopted by Congress.
We have complete faith in the Presi
dent, and we believe that Congress
should back him up to the limit. The
President is asking for a great
amount of money but he probably sees
the need for it to complete his pro
gram. I.cts hope that our great lead
er can carry his point.—Clayton [ demand for a

This is an age marked by the up

many precedents been ignored by gov

in it or not, a nd whether we like it
or not, the upsetting is going to con

or some adjustment takes place that
will put the people back to work and

And go right on t’er.

Don’t break up camp
And leave right out;

Can bellow and pout,
The thing that counts in any section
Is the power to stick and hold on
So get stickability, keep stickability
And time at last will set you free.

On every side,
And you know you must drown
If you cannot swim,

If you can’t paddle then risk a float
