T1TE MORNING OllEGfOXIAJf, WEDNESDAY, 3IAECH 24, 1920 RAIL PLAN TO GUT MELON HE J. E. Benton Flays Scheme a Commission Hearing. VALUES CALLED UNTRUE "Book Accounts" of Lines Declared 'Worthless as an Index to Standing of. Property. "WASHINGTON, . Marc 23. Solid alignment of state railroad coramls doners, representing the public, airainst consideration of the "unre liable" Investment accounts of the roads for valuation purposes devel oped today before the interstate com merce commission, which is holding hearings to determine the basis of payment of the standard dividend un der the transportation act. Insisting that the "book accounts' of the roads were worthless as an Index to the values of the properties. John K. Benton, of the Association ot State Kailroad commissioners, rharply criticised the argument ad vanced by the carrier that any vaiu at ion of the roads found to be less than the aggregate accounts would he a blow to the financial centers of the world. Shocking Tainga Exposed. "Since when has this commission rendered Its Judgment with Its face toward Wall street V he asked. "Since when has it disregarded the law and the facts to cover up the rottenness f any situation it came upon in the performance of its duty? It Has Here tofore discovered and exposed many shocking things, but the country still lives and the financial centers are Etill Intact" All the elements of value must be taken into consideration. Benton contended, but the investment ac counts of the roads are not to be re Carded as evidence. "Congress has not given you dis cretion." he told the commission, "if you know the true investment cost of the Chicago and Alton from your valuation investigations, to shut your eyes to that element and consider its wickedly water-soaked investment account." Representatives of the shippers generally concurred In the proposals of the carriers that the book accounts be considered, but advised that they be checked .In the light of thejither , information avauaDie. Dilemma In Proapect. Expressing themselves as more con cerned with the development of trans portation facilities to meet the needs of the country than in -the matter of rates, the shippers confined their rec ommendation mainly to the question of grouping of the roads for rate fixing purposes. "Unless the railroads are deprived of the occasion to yell 'poverty,' as they have done In the past, the only solution Is government ownership," was the argument of Charles E. Cot terlll of the Southern Traffic league in. favor of giving the railroads re turns sufficient to handle adequately the business of the country. Property investment accounts, he said, might come the closest to forming a basis for a preliminary valuation. The majority of the shippers fa vored the continuation of the com mission's established grouping of the railroads on the grounds that adjust ment should be effected with least disturbance to existing rate returns. Smaller division. It was argued, made for less flexibility. ford will not resign, and If' the board still refuses to dismiss him, an elec tion be held to allow the voters of desire the retention, of. the super Lni tendent. The meeting was; attended by over a -thousand citizens. S. M. Calkins, member of the school board, presented the board's side of the controversy between the teachers and the admin istration and a number of the teach er were heard. Members of the board declare they will remain firm In their decision. to retain Mr. Rutherford. The teachers are Just as firm in declaring they will not serve under him. Antici pating that the superintendent will remain, a number of the teachers have already obtained other positions.

In three years these children .have saved an aggregate qf $525. all of which is Invested in- sav ings certificates. The sum represents money earned at various work found in the neigh borhood or acquired from products raised by themselves. Special Boards Provided. Special boards are to be set up for the Kanawha, Paint Qreek and Calvin Creek fields, for district No. 12, Illi nois; also for the state of Washing ton, .each commission to handle spe cific local conditions. V Other recommendations by the ma jority lay strea upon the necessity Tor buying and storing coal for win ter use during the summer months. State and' federal Institutions and departments are urged to take, this action as well as householders, public utility corporations and private con cerns. Railroads are, asked to co-operate in' the work and the Interstate commerce commission Is urged to aid in --the solution of the transportation problem. The report urged the federal reserve board to permit reserve banks to favor, as eligible for rediscount paper drawn against coal in storage. . Better Conditions I rged. Control of car distribution among I mines to the end that no particular mine or mines receive preference Is recommended, as well as abolishment of practice whereby purchasing agents of carriers can use company control over car supply to force down the price of railway fuel. The Interstate commerce commission would have jurisdiction over these details. - In connection with mine labor, the report says camp and housing condi tions for miners should be improved and approval of the introduction of labor saving machinery is expressed. Advance of miners pay is discouraged, but if made advances should be with out discount, directly or Indirectly. The following is included In the report: Public Production Sought. In submitting this report particu lar attention is called to the fact that herein every effort has been made for the protection of the public, not only for the period under which this pro tection-can be guaranteed by the ex ecutive under thepowers granted him by the Lever act, but it has been our effort to go into the underlying cause for high costs and to offer some remedy therefor this. In ' order that in the future, .when the govern ment relaxes its control over prices, there may be a continuing force at work In the public Interest. "We believe it is obvious that un less some changes can be made to ward the end of reducing costs in coal production and distribution, no act of congress, no order of the executive, nor any otner regulation by consti tuted authority can in the end provide against the continuing high costs- Proper Basis Advocated. "It Is for this. reason that we be lieve that this- "Industry should be placed upon the proper basis for more continuous and thus more economical production and distribution with the result that the. cost of coal to the neoDle will be reduced, i " The principal difference p'et'ween the majority and minority reports .was on the matter of hours of work. Com missioners Robinson and Peale recom mended retention of the present eight-hour day,but Commissioner White agreed to such hours only until A aril 1, 1921. After that date, Mr. White held, the maximum hours for miners would .not exceed eight hours underground a day nor more than six days a week. The miners demanded a six-hour day and1 a five day week. Hoapstone Allowance Made. . An allowance of two cents a ton fori the handling of soapstone was recommended by Mr. White, who also refused to accept the majority view that car pushing was a natural condi tion in the Industry. In submitting his report Mr. White said he was guided in preparing his recommendations by a single mandate which was that "healthy operation of the industry in the service of the pub lic is the end sought" j The - majority of the commission said the wage advance to tonnage workers, after this award', would amount to SS per cent since 1913, while the advance of day men would average 111 per cent and that these advances granted the miners an in crease in wages larger than the per centage of increase in the cost of liv ing submitted by their representa tives. Old Statu la Restored. The president restored the . fuel situation, so far as bituminous is concerned, to the status existing prior to November 1, when the bi tuminous miners went out in a nation-wide strike. . The executive order, however, does not affoct the. tidewater coal ex change, which was re-estaOlished i February 2n and which controls ex port of coal, v . j . . . President Lewis of the United Mine Dose, and we are reaay to enter a joint conference with the operators to consummate an agreement before AdHI 1. "The miners asked the -commission to establish a number of Vital re forms in the eoal mining Industry, affecting their? living and working conditions. But the report of the ma jority does not grant these reforms, and in this the mine workers will be keenly disappointed. On the other hand, the majority of tne commission went beyond the issues and questions that were In controversy prior to the creation of the commission and pre sumed to decide matters that were not Involved in the original case." Big Demand Recognised. "I am aware,", said the president In issuing the order, "that at present as a result of the shortage created Dy the coal strike and of the consequent interference with transportation and as a result also of the exceptionally unfavorable winter, the demand for coal continues active. I desire to im press upon the coal operators the ex treme ImDortance not only ot tneir complying to the fullest extent with the laws against combinations in re straint of trade and against profit eering, but also of their exerting themselves" affirmatively to prevent exacting of unreasonable prices for coal. "I am eure the public fully appre elates - the desirability, where prac ticable, of leaving commercial trans actions untrammeied, but at the same time I am satisfied the public will find "ways to protect itself if such a liberal policy shall appear to result in unreasonably high prices. -Question Held Unlikely. The president said he assumed that neither party would raise any quea- tlon-and that he was sure that no question could properly be." raised as to the binding character of the award by the majority of the commission notwithstanding the fact that it was not unanimous. . ?The president said there-was no provision of law fixing; new coal prices for peace-time purposes and that "unless and until some grave emergency shall arise, which In my judgment has a relation to the emergency-purposes of the Lever act, I would, not feel justified In fixing coal prices with reference to future con ditions of production-." .
