u - THE ALLIANCE HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1921 THIRTEEN SAY RAILROADS HAVE NOT TOLD ALL OF STORY (Continued from Page 9) ,, We believe an impartial investigate would show that the actual cost was very much less than that estimate. For the purposes of this argument, however, we can a fluid to accept the highest estimate. The wage increase was in effect for eight months during 1020 from May 1 to December 31. At $00,000,000 a month this would mean an addition to operating expenses of $40,000,000 . on account of wages. But the total increase in operating expenses under private control, as fhown by the Interstate Commerce commisfron was $1,301,000,000. After allowing the most extreme estimate of the wage increase, we still have $911,000,000 to account for. What did the railroad managers do with that vat-t sum under private own ership? It can not be claimed that they in vested it in equipment or in construc tion and maintenance. Their additions to equipment are vnimpoitant and in stead of maintaining and reconstruct ing they have dismissed tens of thou sands of employes who might have performed that essential work. Government control has been de nounced by the publicity agents of the railroad executives as an "orgy of waste." - what should be Raid of the perform ance under private ownership?
