Mr. Greer said, "was when the St. Louis of flee of the Associated Pres tuld me It had been presented before the board on that day and asked if I ared to make any Htatemont concern ing it. I promptly looked through all the office files, but could find no trace of it." T. U. Karrinirton, mantor mechanic at C'ulumbuH. Ohio, and William H tub bins, general foreman of the engine houne and car department at Brad ford, Ohio, testified they had no knowledge of such a letter. The board pushed a resolution re questing the employes to present tne evidence of the origin and authorship of the letters. This.

WASHINGTON. May 12. Labor costs to class one roads were greater by 115 per cent In 1920 than they were In 1917, Julius KrttlttHchnitt, chair man of tho board of the Southern Pa cific railroad declared in a statement submitted today to the senate Inter state commerce commltteo. During the same period, he added, gross rev enues of the carriers Increased less than G4 per eent. Statistics on labor costs were given by the witness who was cross-questioned after his direct testimony of the past two days by members of the committee which Is Inquiring Into the whole railroad ques tion. Since the Adanison law was en acted, he. said, "labor costs have been Increased by government action by 2,229.6a9,967. The otal for 11)20 he added was J3,G9S,21C,a51. The state ment said In part' "The labor bill lo the carriers In 1916, which was before the Adamson law took effect, stood nt $1 18,5711.394. "In 1917 when the Adamson law was in effect the aggregate compensation of tho employes of the carriers ol class one nmounted to $1.7.19,482,1 12 an Increasi) ovur 1910 of $270,905,718 "This was Increased by tho railroad administration In 1918 so that tho labor cost for that year was $2,013 813,351 or ail Increase over 1917 of $874,331,209. 'This wns further Increased by tho lallroad administration in 1919 so that the labor cost for 1919 was $2,843,128.- 432 or an Increase over 1918 of $229, 315,081 and an increase over 1917 of $l,103,84ti,290 and over 1910 of $1,374, 552,038. 'This labor cost for 1919 was fur ther Increased by the rallioad'labor board In 1920 so thai tli-s labor cost for 1920 was $3,698,216,351 or an in crease over 1919 of $855,987,919." WASHINGTON, May 12. Under cross-examination today by the senate Inter-state commerco committee Juliu.i Kruttschnltt, chairman of the board of the Southorn Pacific company, insist ed that the recent increase In freight rates had not operated to bring about a drop In railway freight business. The only troublo is, he said, that tho in crease in rates "came simultaneously with tho depression In general busl nesB. 'Haven't you seen tho risk of alien atlon of public opinion by that policy of increasing rates before reducing wagos?" nskod Senator Townsend, re publican, Michigan. 'Tho roads wero In a desperato sit nation," wns tho reply. All theso claims for reduction," he continued, "boar the earmarks of n well planned propaganda on the pres ent rate structure. Tho fact la that (he commodities for which the produc ers now receive very littlo are taxed so very greatly by middlemen and re tailors that consumers must pay alto gether disproportionate prices, while the transportation charges aro very small parts of tho increases." "If I understand you," continued Senator Townsend, "you have got to havo nearly n billion dollars a year more than you nre now getting, if you are to operate these roads properly How are you going to get It?" "There are only two ways Increasi revenue or reduce expenses," thu wit- iioss replied. "The first relief, and It Is substan tial, will come from a reduction in common labor costs," Bald Mr. Krutt schnltt. "Fanners along our lines ate employing men at $1.75 a day for ten hours. The railway labor hoard re quires us to pay several times that. Railroads must be allowed to purchase I heir labor at market prices but the board is very slow to act. "Some of the press rciHirtg nre get ting my proposals wrongly. I have advanced reduction of labor costs as the first and most necessary step. The chief hope lies in reduction of railway expenses. What 1 havo said about the Panama canal and highway competi tion only bore upon the possibility of Increasing revenues." 1. W.
