I RUTLEDGE & TAYLOR COAL COMPANY 1 ST. LOUIS, MO. CHICAGO,---.-.A ILL. Think This Over. It may interest the business men if you tell them that the railroads had 169,000 fewer men on the pay- roll in 1909 than in 1907. They surely want these 169,000 men to earn and spend money.
OMI3 of our lricnds do not use figures fairly, but most oI then1 do not mean to be unlair; they don't know or don't S think. A good deal has becn said about the "enormous incrcasc" in net earnings of the railroads for tlic fiscal year which ended June 30, 1909. It is slated \vicIely that the incrcase was over ninety-three million clollars, williout any further facts. Ask thc nest man mho mentions this fact if he lmon7s that the comparison was made with the figures of the poverty-stricBen year 1908; ask him if he knows that, coinpared with the year 1907, thcre \\as an actual decrease in net earnings of morc than thirteen millions, and that but for the radical retrenchment of expenses rcsulling in no work for sowe and lessened work for others, closing of shops, clecreascd purchasc ol rails and ballast, elc., the decrease, com- pared with 1907, mould ham been a great deal more serious. (The opera ting expenses of the roads nrcrc decreased $133,000,000.00.) That is to say, the population and general development of the country probably iilcreascd 18 or 20 pcr cent hom 1907 to 1909, but railroad gross earnings icll oiT $146,000,000.00, and the net decreased $13,000,000.00 during the same pcriocl, with a noticeable clccrease in the physical condition of many roads. The fair citizen will, when he knows the facts, concede that the railroads need morc money per unit of service given, and he is beginning to understand that thc rate basis must he high enough to enable thc companies to keep up with thc needs and growth of the country.-B. L. WINCHELL. Vol. IV, No. 8 SAINT LOUIS, MO. August, 1910
Another Pull-Together Letter. F. E. APPLE. AGREE with Mr. Williams in the July FRISCO-MAN.His letter should be read by every Frisco employe. It seems to me that every fair-minded man should sce the bad effects so much radical railroad legislation is having on the general business conclitions of the country. Just now there are a number of candidates seeking our support lor various offices, and befo~eany railroad employe gives any of &em his support, he should first find out lion- they stand on the regulation of railroads. We are all interested i11 the welfare of the company which gives us employment, and should do everything in our power to elect men for the various State and !,National offices who will at least give the railroads a square deal. A square deal for the railroads means a square deal for the 1,500,000 einployes on the various railroads in the Unitcd States. A good public opinion is one of the most valuable business assets in the world. Without it no business or inclividual can hope to prosper, more especially a railroad company. All employes, and station agents in particular, should be very carcful to put in a good word to the shipper or traveling public when they come to him with their troubles. Not a day passes that some one docs not come to nie looking for freight which they believe to be over due, asking why certain trains arc late, why they can't make connections at some junction point, and dozens of other things, seemingly trifles to me, but in many cases important to them. 8 THE FRlSCO-MAN When these various questions are asked me, I have the opportunity of either creating a good or bad impression of the company, :nd I have found in my railroad experience that a good impressioii is invaluable both to thk company as well as myself. We should educate ourselves" as to the cost of transportation, both passenger and freight ; also operating, maintenance, and the hundredsqf othcr expenses the railroads are constantly put to, and be prepared for tre fello~vswho are always ready to say "the railroads get thc money." About niue times out of ten those fellows know absolutely nothing about the operation of railroads, and are usually repcat,ing what they have heard some equally as ignorant politician say. Be ready for thcm, boys, and whcn 370u licar any onc make an assertion that you think mould be a cletrimcnt to the company for which you work, go after him. I believe if Mr. Yoakum's spceches could be distributed among the employes, it would do a world of good. Lct the railroads educate their employes, arid they in turn mill help turn the tide of public opinion to a more fricnclly Eeeling hetween the railroads and the public.

"R Years ago certain railroad builders were pirates and buccaneers. They looted public treasuries, bought legislatures, corrupted Congress. The public's present attitude toward the railroads is a remnant of the spirit of right indignation toward such reprehensible tactics. But such tactics have been swept into the discard. Today there is a set of strong, honest, and righteous men at the head of the great railroad systems. They stand for the SQUARE DEAL. They are making the word "corpora- tion" synonymous with the word "Co-operation." They are working hand-in- hand with the Brotherhoods, and both are serving the public as never before. In a recent issue of THE MEDIATOR A Magazine of Industrial Economy J. K. Turner presents a strong, sane, and vigorous article, entitled "Railroad Baiting." He shows wherein the public and the government have been treating the railroads unfairly. A copy of this issue of THE MEDIATOR will be sent you FREE on request.
