RAILWAY PROBLEM IS
EXPLAINED BY NINES
Argument for Five-Year Oper-
ation Made.
PUBLIC SUSPICION FACTOR
Belief in Over-Capitalization De
clared Largely to Negative Fixing
Level of Operating Income.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Exaggerated
complaint against Government railroad
operation growing out of a natural
reaction from war-time patriotic ten
sion is a psychological factor "which
makes it difficult at this time to de
velop a permanent solution of the rail
way problem," Ijirector-General Hines
said today, in testifying before the Sen
ate interstate commerce committee.
This is one important reason, Mr.
Hines said, why Government operation
either should be extended five years
and time given for calm deliberation,
or the roads turned back to private
management before the present 21
months' period expires.
Fair Tent Desired.
Citing many cases of complaints
against Government operation which
lie said were based on misapprehension
or failure to understand railroad prac
tices, Mr. Hines said:
"Apparently every hardship or diffi
culty connected with the war-time op
eration of the railroads proves mo
mentarily to be regarded as a reason
why there should be no solution except
a prompt turning back of the railroads
to all the railroad companies with new
legislation which really makes no
fundamental changes whatever.
"I do not believe this state of mind
will change until there is an oppor
tunity to look in ah understanding way
at the results of Federal control un
der peace conditions. Therefore, the
importance of giving a fair and rea
sonable test to Federal control under
peace conditions is not merely to give
a fair showing to advocates of Govern
ment ownership, but also to give a fair
showing to the' advocates of any plan
other than the plan of going back to
the old regime."
Public Suspicion Deep-Seated.
Mr. Hines explained that he believes
the best solution would be develop
ment of a few large railway systems,
privately owned and operated, under
strict Government supervision.
"There can be no solution through
the operation of the railroads by the
numerous existing railroad corpora
tions with their widely varying finan
cial structures." he said. "The deep
seated suspicion of the public and of
labor that there is serious over
capitalization largely negatives all rep
resentations as to the propriety of re
turning to any given level of railroad
operating income. To perpetuate ex
isting capitalization means to perpetu
ate suspicion and unrest, and will de
feat any plan despite the other good
qualities the plan may have.
"No plan can be permanently suc
cessful which leaves railroad operations
with a large number of railroad cor
porations, some strong and some weak.
.So long as this condition continues it
will result that on any given basis
of rates and wages some railroads will
prosper to a great degree and others
will fail.
Participation In Profits.
Tf any plan of private management
is to be successful it ought to provide
for the participation of the Govern
ment, and perhaps of labor, in the prof
its in excess of some comparatively
moderate return.
"This country has settled down to
the definite conception that railroads
ought not to receive more than a rea
sonable return, and also that they
ought not to receive less. Theoretical
ly this appears to be a reasonable, defi
nite standard. Practically, the stand
ard is impossible of application under
the proposed plan of private man
agement. The logical thing to do is
for the Government to ascertain what
the fair return ought to te, and to
guarantee that to the railroads; and
then, "if it wishes the benefit of the
increased efficiency which may prob
ably be expected from private initia
tive, it can permit a moderate partici
pation in any profits in excess of that
return.
Fair Return Must Be Assured.
"It is recognized that It is indis
pensable that capital invested in rail
roads shall yield a sufficient return to
attract additional capital. But the pro

the subject:

to such bills when, by a vote of 44 to

in salary for the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction from $3000 to
$3600 a year.
The bill was fathered and championed
by Representative Smith of Baker and

Streetcars and Jitneys Not Needed,

SEATTLE. Feb. 3. (Special.) Se
attlcites living l-i the suburbs will find
themselves as ilobinson Crusoe was
stranded beginning Thursday mom.
Inn at 10 o'clock, as a result of the de
cision of the streetcar employes and
the Auto Drivers' Union to walk out In
the general strike set for that time.
The determination of the Jitney dri
vers was made several days ago and
the .carmen Saturday night. This will
mean in some Instances a walk of 1 1
miles f r persons living? In some parts
of the city and at least seven miles for
fully 100,000, it is estimated. ,
As the strikers put it, however,
"streetcars and Jitneys will not be
n .ed, for there will be no place to
g', or no reason to go there, if there
A-as."
PARALYSIS IS IMMINENT
(r-ontinuei Prom First Paire.)
convenience, to say nothing of actual
surrering, to which the people of Seat
tle will be subjected, they would wel
come the strike, because, as they say,
the grip of the union labor leaders on
the industrial activities of the city has
been gaining in strength for the last
few years, and it is about time to find
out whether Seattle is to be dominated
by this group of citizens, or by a more
representative group of citizens, includ
ing union labor men as well as so
called capitalists and Just ordinary
folks.
Lets of Trouble Ahead.
But not until the general strike order
was issued this morning did the aver
age Seattle resident realize that he was
directly affected by the controversy
that has been raging for the last few
weeks between the shipyards and their
employes without much outward dis
play of hostility on either side.
If the general strike finally material
izes, as 'tcheduled, it is going to cause
a. lot of trouble. Some people are going
to have a hard time getting things to
cat. Even the butchers and delivery
wagon drivers have voted to go out.
The grocery stores will stay open, but
customers will have to come and carry
their purchases home. The telephone
company says it will maintain some
kind of service, but that it will be
"handicapped." The telegraph compa
nies promise to deliver nothing but
"emergency" messages.
Violence la Feared.
The streetcar motormen and con
ductors have voted to go out. and it is
probable that no service will be at
tempted for fear of violence. Every
one remembers, with a distinct shud
der, the turmoil attending the street
car strike here a year ago last Sum
mer. Many residence districts of Seat
tie depend upon Jitney service almost
entirely, but the Jitney drivers, who
are unionized, have voted to strike
with the others.
Tes, Seattle is a strongly unionized
town. Even the clerks and stenogra
phers In the shipyard offices are or
ganized and most ot them are out on
strike. Everyone agrees that if the
strike is attempted at all It will be a
general success from the standpoint
of the strikers.
Realization of this fact first began
to sink in on the Seattle public today
when a "publicity committee" of the
Metal Trades Council and the Central
Labor Council gave official utterance
cTrle.

to the intention to "tlo up the town,"
beginning next Thursday.
IteaKOBK for Strike f.lven.
Up until that time Seattle had taken
a peculiarly detached view of the
strike. That portion of the Seattle
population not directly affected by the
earnings of the 25.000 or 30. ooo ship
yard workers or by the profits of the
shipyard owners reasoned something
like this:
"The cost of living In Seattle Is
higher today than ever before in its
history. It is higher here than in any
other city tf similar size In the coun
try. What is the reason? The influx of
thousands of people, attracted, with
their fami.ies. by high wages at the
shipyards. What is the result? Wc
are paying more for our rent, more for
our food, more for our clothing, more
for everything we consume umlor nor
mal circumstances than we ever did
before.
"Even the ordinary pleasures of life
cost more. The general admission
price to any standard motion picture
theater In Seattle Is 25 cents. In Port
land it is 20 cents. This 25 per cent
differential is reflected on the price
of life's necessities as well.
Seattle Fayliflr the Price.
Tea, Seattle is booming. Seattle is
prosperous, Seattle Is building more
steel ships and building them faster
than any other city in the country, but
Seattle is paying the price," according
to the philosophical Seattleite's way of
looking at It.
Let us grant that a large proportion
of the present high price of living is
due to the war and obvious economic
causes, but it Is costing us more to
live here than It Is costing our neigh
bors in Portland and we are Just about
tired of paying the bills.
True, we have raised a new crop
of millionaires In the persons of our
enterprising shipyard owners, while
thousands of ex-barbers and shoe
clerks who now are earning their $7
and $8 a day are wearing silk shfrts
and paying installments on gasoline
cars, but In their eagerness to get their
semi-monthly pay check in circulation
they have forced landlords, merchants
and everyone trading with the con
suming public to advance prices.
Artificial Prosperity Tires.
So if the shipyard strike is going
to do anythoing' toward restoring life
in Seattle to a normal basis, why let
the strike continue. We are tired of
this artificial prosperity that benefits
only a certain proportion of the popu
lation and multiplies the Cost of every
thing we need." I
That is about the way the average
Seattle person, not directly affected by
the building industry, viewed the strike
during the last two weeks. As a mat
ter of fact, a great many good union
men not employed in the shipbuilding
trades looked at it In the same way.
. So, during the laEt few days, when
people began to read in the papers
that first this union, then that union,
voted to Join :n the general strike, they
were genuinely surprised. An aggre
gate of 130 union organizations, rep
resenting virtually every trade and
craft In town, has agreed to Join In the
movement.
Untlre I'nlon Caone Involved.
The union men say the future of their
entire "cause" in the Northwest is in
volved in the outcome of the struggle.
If they lose, they declare, unionism in
Seattle is dead. Something vicious,
something milicious, something more
to be dreaded by the employer of labor
and by the public generally will rise
to take its place, they predict.
"It will mean that every union man
will tear up his card, throw the scraps
into Elliott Bay, and then go down and
take out a red card In the I. W. W.,"
declared one well-informed and intel
ligent striker in contemplating the
prospects of losing the general strike.
"And if they win It will mean we
might as well turn over our ships and
factories to the leaders of organized
labor." grimly remarked the owner of a
foundry that has grown up here in the
last two years from a concern em
ploying eight or 10 men to one with a
a payroll of 150.

Labor Confederation to hoar the report
of a delegation which had been sent to
the ministry to demand an Increase in
wages of 100 per cent. When the re
port was heard the surprise was so
great that there were some moments of
impressive silence.
The Ministry of Posts, Telegraph and
Telephones has a bill prepared for Par
liament by which all wages would be
raised 200 per cent up to 4000 francs
yearly, which latter salary would be
come 12.0'JO francs annually. Wages
above that figure also would be raised
on a graduated scale.
Under the bill women's wages would
be the same as for men for the same
kind of work. The 200 per cent in
crease provided for in the bill is pro
visional and may be increased by BO
per cent successively if the cost of liv
Inb continues to Increase, or the amount
may be reduced if the cost of living
decreases, but not to an amount less
than an Increase of 100 per cent over
the present scale. A special allowance
of 10 francs daily is to be given work
ers until the bill is passed.
