OX THE PROFITEER
It the cost of living is raised more
than 2 per cent by the $1,200,000,
(mo increase In freight charges, It
will be plain evidence that middlemen
ami retailers are taking an unfair ad
vantage of the public. An increase
of 2 per cent in average prices would
be this maximum cost of the rate ad
vance If there were no change in
other forces acting on the price level.
Hut the general tendency of prices
Is now downward. We have passed
t ho peak of war Inflatallon. It In
reasonable to believe, therefore, that
price will fall rather than rise arter
thn new rates i.io in effect.
The fact Ih that In Ihe production
of most articles of ciimmon dally cou
hii ui it mil . Ihe lranport charge Is so
small that a;i inn case In rales has
no appreciable effect ill the family
budget. In bulky articles like coal,
of course, where 1 1 anyporl al ion Is n
very l.uie factor of the progress of
product Ion and distribution, an In-ricas-1
In fr.-ighi rates neeesarily
im-a'i-. higher price, lint even these
lathely le'ge l:iTe;'-e In part-
r mi it Ji
Ir'll.li
ruin mod 1 1 ;
c ult ef if
may be al'smbed
I feices w in king
for lower prices.
The increase in passenger rates,
while producing a very much smaller
amount of additional revenue than
the new freight rates, will strike
niorej directly at the average man's
pocketnook. Hut the new passenger
rates will raise travel expenses less
than $3 per capita -a year, or less
than one cent a day. Surburban re
' sidents, who travel thousands of
I miles a year for the pleasure of liv
Mish ! ing in the country while, working in
the city, will pay much more than this
average.
The $1,500,000,000 of additional
freight and passenger revenue to be
paid by the public for railroad ser
vice under the new rates will not go
into the treasuries of the railroads
nor into the pockets of the owners.
Practically all of this additional re
venue will go directly to the two mil
lion railroad workers whose wages
have been established on a new level
after the most careful consideration
of all the facts by a government wage
board.
The recent wage award in Chicago
gave to the railroad employes an ad
ditional $625,000,000 a year or an
average of more than $300 to each
employe. During the two years of
government operation of railroads,
because of the Increase in the cost
of living, the Railroad Administra
tion raised wages by more than $1,
000,000,000 a year. The total in
crease in wages, therefore, since May
1918, when the Lane Wage Board
made its first award, Is more than
$1,(100,000,000 a year, or consider
ably more than the new freight and
passenger rates will produce.
The increases in rates made by the
Government in 1918, which produced
about $900,000,000 additional reven
ue, were practically all absorbed by
the increased prices for fuel and ma
terials consumed in railroad opera
tion. As a very large part of the
increased cost of coal and materials
purchased by the railroads has been
duo to the more than 100 per cent
rise in wages paid workers in these
other industries, it Is plain that the
great bulk of the $2,400,000,000 in
crease In railroad rates In the past
three years goes to the wage earn
ers.
Under the new scale of railroad
wages, the average annual earnings
per employe will be $1900, as com
pared with $830 at the beginning of
the war. This is an increase of 129
per cent. The railroad payroll todaj
Is on the basis of $3,600,000,000 a
year, or $2,000,000,000 more than
It would be If the employes were be
ing paid at Ihe pre-war rateB.
' These plain, facts show that Ihe
railroad owners do not receive $1
500,000,000 or any appreciable part
of It. For some time to come there
is not likely to be any considerable
Increase in Ihe returns paid to the
owners of railroad securities. Th
effect of the award of the Commerce
Commission is to enable the railroads
to pay fair wages to their employe
and to continue to make the modest
return to their wrurity owners that
they did before the war. Larger re
turns to the owners will only be pos
sible as a result of Intensive work on
l the part of the managements to In
i crease el llcleiicy.
The workers have fared very much
belter than the ow ners, because their
wages have been raised to make up
for tin- decreased purchasing powe
of Ihe dollar, while there has b
no cm responding Increase In th" pay
lor laplial. Ti e worker who earn
id JIOIH) a year before the war now
receives 12300, and his wages will
buy more, because they have advanc
ed more than the cost of living. On
the other hand the investor with
$10,000 of 5 per cent railroad bonds, j
gets the same $500 a year he re- I
ceived before the war, but he finds i
that his $500 will buy only half as j
inueu as before the war. i W.'f
