THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR
Pulling Themselves Out of Business.
(Jacksonville (Fla.) Journal.)
President Harding has notified the
railroads that this railroad strike must
stop- It is a menace to every busi
ness in the country. He offered a
plan to effect conciliation which the
railroad workers accepted but which
the railroad directors flatly turned
down. In substance these railroad
directors take the attitude “Who is
this butting in ? Nothing but the gov
ernment.”
It was Commodore Vanderbilt of the
New York Central system, who voiced
the historic attitude of railroad owners
and directors: “The public be damn
ed.” The railroads have taken this
attitude just a little bit 100 long.
They have conducted their business
with conspicuous dishonesty and fla
grant falsehood. They have exhaust
ed the patience of the people. If they
ever had the sympathy of the public
in this industrial controversy they lost
it when they turned Hanrding down.
The railroads woke up yesterday to
appreciate the fact that they were
gumming up their own game and hur
ried out the message to the press that
they still left the door a little way
open. A little way open, indeed. If
they don’t throw it wide open Con
gress will. Even staid, conservative
senators are beginning to get tired of
these railroad attorneys and these rail
road directors. Senator Cummins of
lowa (Republican) chairman of the
senate committee on interstate com
merce, openly predicted that the rail
road directors will retract their action
and retract it quick or the government
will again seize their roads. And if
it ever seizes them again it will never
turn them back.
Only a few days ago The Journal
made the statement that government
operation if not government owner
ship of the railroads will be the para
mount issue in the presidential cam
paign of 1924- Now comes a Repub
lican senator who says in substance
the same thing. The people are be
ginning to say it. They are saying
it because the railroads have carried
out in practice tine policy of C mmo
dore Vanderbilt,: “The publi/c he
damned.” The people have been
damned enough by the railroads and
they are not going to he damned any
more.
As The Journal pointed out the other
day, railroad directors have been for
half a century of time much more con
cerned with the blackboard on the
New York stock exchange wall than
with the business of transportation.
Their plundering practicec of selling
watered stock put the railroads in
such a delapidated condition that they
were unable to serve the war needs
of the nation. To save the country,
the government HAD to take over the
railroads. There was no alternative.
The railroad men who have been in
the railroad business all their lives
were unable to conduct the railroad
business with sufficient efficiency to
serve thei country in its hour of need.
Government officials at whom they
scoff took up the job and DTD it.
Now the railroads whine about be
ing depleted, busted down. They are.
The railroads here in Florida are in a
delapidated condition. The yards are
full of junk. Their time table sched
ules in the state are a joke- They
are indifferent on the whole question
of giving the public a good, safe,
speedy, prompt service.
They say they can’t do it ;the gov
ernment left them in such had shape.
Their subsidized newspapers and their
paid press agents every spread
propaganda that is wilful falsehood.
They claim they must reduce the
wages of their workers because their
revenue is not sufficient to build up
their systems. Wages must come
down to normalcy, but traffic rates
must go above normalcy. They in
sist that they must have an increase
in freight rates and in passenger fares,
that they cannot hope to build up un
less they have a larger revenue. Some
are in the hands of receivers In
many cases plundered stockholders
have put them there. Nothing but
gross mismanagement and stock ma
nipulation can cause any of them to
get thore.
They tell a very different sort of a
story when they go up against th<*
stock and bond game. Their news
papers and their press agents put out
all this sob stuff about their having
such a hard time to make ends meet.
The railroads are so poor—we should
weep.
When they want to sell railroad
bonds or issue more stock, their pro
motion brokers flood you with contra
dictory statements. The following
railroads boastfully herald the fart
that for 1921 they made the following
profits:
Atchison, T. & S- Fe.... $39.3.31/562
Atlantic Coast Line 1,790,569
Chesapeake & Ohio 4,192,601
THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1922.
Chicago & Rock Island... 5,780,259
Illinois Central 9,700,794
Missouri Pacific 3,537,016
New York Central 22,295,086
Norfolk & Western 10,043,181
Northern Pacific 22,965,399
Southern Pacific 30,618,778
Union Pacific 31,301075
That doesn't look as though there
was any reason why they should at
tempt to run broekn down engines,
why their tracks should not be in
good condition, why their rolling stock
should not lie put in ship-shape, j
There is money enough in the trans- |
portation business to deliver good
transportation. Nothing but a plun
dering policy prevents—unless they
don’t know how to run their own bus
iness.
If the railroads are makings such
profits, two things are perfectly obvi
ous : There is no reason for reducing
the workmen’s wages, or there is de
cided need of, very promptly bringing
into effect a radical reduction in the
freight and passenger rates. One or
the other.
What is more, and that is what the
people are beginning to realize, if the
government can run the railroads more
efficiently than the railroad directors
can, and with fewer interruptions by
strike, which has been proven, why
not take over the railroads run them
as efficiently as the postoffice is run;
merely enlarge the postal service to
include all common carriers and let
the government have the benefit of
the startling earnings that the rail
roads themselves boastfully show.
This is not socialism. This is sim
ply. sound business. If this is social
ism, then the postoffice is socialism.
The railroads refused to participate
in President Harding’s plan because
they demanded the right to punish the
strikers and refused to restore to them
their seniority rights- The railroads
refusal is based on the supposition
that they only are right. It is an
historical fact that the railroads have
seldom been right except when public
sentiment has pushed them right.
Public sentiment is going to push
them right NOW. They arc going to
restore the seniority rights of their
workmen. It will be done pretty
promptly. Watch it. The railroads
are afraid of just one thing: the ris
ing tide of public sontiment for the
government operation and ownersh p
of their roads. Tt is coming. The
blundering, stupid railroad directors
and their attorneys who know so little
about the transportation business and
less about democracy, are forcing the
very issue they woulej like to avoid.

NEW KIND OF LOCOMOTIVE
AT FORD ATLANTA SHOW
The forthcoming Southeastern Ford
son Industrial Exposition which will
be held in Atlanta from August 29th
to 31st inclusive, will have as one of
its exhibits what is claimed to be the
greatest advance in locomotive con
struction for small industrial uses-
A Southern inventor, Mr. Reese
Adamson, a business man of Birming
ham, Ala., invented it.
In describing this invention, Mr. P.
J. McNatt, local Ford dealer, says:
“In the construction of this locomo
tive the principal power plant of the
Fordson Tractor has been set into a
heavy steel frame. The latter has
been mounted on large steel flanged
wheels and these connected with the
drive rods in much the same manner
as a steam locomotive.
“The expensiveness and danger ot
fire from small steam locomotives in
much industrial work led Mr. Adam
son to invent this unique locomotive.
Many forest fires have been started
by sparks from a logging engine. Sim
ilarly sparks are dangerous around
mines and large manufacturing plants.
“I am informed that this engine can
haul 30 freight cars on a standard
guage track. As it uses kerosene oil
for fuel, the operating cost is very
low and it has all the elements of
safety.”
Mr. McNatt reports this is but one
of over seventy equally interesting ex
hibits to be seen at this exposition
and it is well worth while planning to
go to Atlanta to see it
—COTTON shipped to Battey & Co.
the efficient cotton factors of Savan
nah, Ga., yields satisfaction as is evi
denced by the large volume of busi
ness entrusted to them. Isn’t it to
your interest to try them? Do it now
and be convinced.
