Harding Makes Plea for Railway Merger (Continued from Pane ElthU question of human rights and human Justice. There was an interesting illustra tion in the strike last year of the railway shopmen. The government sought to effect a settlement that had for Its firm foundation the pledged k acceptance by both managers and ^kemployes of the decisions of the ^^ta^lway labor board. To such a set tlement the spokesmen of managers and employes gave their pledge, but the managers rejected the agree ment on the ground that It did not do justice to the new employes who were taken on after the strike be gan. Much was made of the issue, but In the end all settlements were effected on precisely the terms the government proposed. Yet the agree ment to abide by the labor board de cision was lost In the daya of anx iety and the separate settlements which were effected. It is Inescapable that the govern ment feela the Importance of public Interest and right In connection with the settlement of such questions. The vital existence of the nation now depends upon continuity of transpor-! tation. In recent years It has come to be accepted thnt there are three parties, rather than two, to every controversy between the employer and employe of a public-service cor poration. The employer is one, the employe is another, and the great public, which must have-the right to consume and to be served, Is the third. If we are quite frank among ourselves we will have to admit that In dealing with such controversies the third party in interest has, down to this time, decidedly received the least consideration. Yet the public Is the party on which finally must be placed the burden of whatever adjustment is effected. As a means of making possible righteous adjustment between rail roads and their employes, with due regard for the interest of the public which pays, the government estab lished a railroad labor board. It was assumed that this organization, re quired to represent in equal numbers the employers, the employes, and the public, w-ould command the confil 3 •qipiHEBHHBfflBi Notice!

Un fortunately, for reasons which are the subject of no little controversy, the board has never had the co-operation of employer and employe for which Its authors hoped. For myself, 1 am convinced that the test has been a complete or entirely fair one, and I favor, not its abandonment, but Its continuance under such modifica tions as seem most likely to make the plan successful. But there is little to hope for until all concerned are ready to comply promptly with the board’s decisions. I am frank to say I do not hope for compliance on the part of employes so long as de cisions are Ignored by the managers. There Is another highly important phase of the transportation problem very much worth our attention. I believe the use of our inland water ways offers the one sure way to re duced carrying charges on basic ma terials. heavy cargoes and farm prod ucts. Probably all of us acknowledge the urgent need of diminished cost on agricultural shipments and many bulk cargoes essential to manufacturing in dustry. While it is well established by the Boston milk case decision that public necessity Justifies carrying a commodity at less than cost, the ser vice at less than cost on the larger tonnage of the country does not offer the righteous solution. We ought to try the experiment of co-ordinating rail and water shipments, we ought to avail ourselves of the waterways de veloped through expenditures of enor mous public funds, and we ought to give the waterway carriers a chance to prove their capacity for helpful ser vice. The federal government has expend ed approximately $1,130,610,000 on riv er and harbor improvement. Only last spring the congress appropriated $50, 589,910, in spite of a budget recom mendation of less than half. For the sums spent on harbors we have most beneficial results. The millions ex pended on inland waterways, on riv ers and canals, have brought small returns because we have put them to no practical use. Though we expend ed to cheapen carrying charges and to facilitate transportation, we have failed in co-ordinating service and have allowed the railroads to discour age every worthwhile development. Where barge and packet service has been established there h.-^i been such an unfair division of the Joint carry ing charge that waterway develop ment has been impeded, and where service lines by water have been es tablished, the hoped-for diminution of rates has been denied or avoided until the plea of cheapened transportation by water has seemed a mockery. I believe we should encourage our water service, we should encourage and enforce co-ordinated service, we should see an equitable division of rates, and exact rate reductions when ever practicable to operate success fully under rate reductions. It Is a very discouraging picture to contemplate the expenditure of JuO, 000,000 of public funds on an Inland waterway when the tonnage on that waterway haa diminished more than half, while the waterway Itself is made better and better year by year. Wo have either wasted many hun dred of millions in blind folly or have been inexcusably remiss in turning our expenditures to practical account. I wish the railway leadership of the country could see the need of this employment of our water routes as an essential factor in perfected transportation, and join In aiding the feasible plan of co-ordinating service and cheapening charges, not alone as a means of popularized and efficient public service, but as a means of ending the peril of their own for tunes.
