-He saw the foreign roaof: in England and
France, the best in Europe and in other Con
tinental countries and he knows.

ment of the United States is beyond measure.
American railroads have achieved high stand

striving of managers and men for rewards for work

We have the best railroads in the world we
must continue to have the best.
But they must grow.
To the $20,000,000,000 now invested in our,
railroads, there will have to be added in the next
few years, to keep pace with the nation's business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars and engines, electric power nouses
and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings and for recon
struction and engineering economies that will re
duce the cost of transportation.
To attract to the railroads in the future the in-
vestment funds of many thrifty cilizens, the direct
ing genius of the most capable builders and man
agers, and the skill and loyalty of the best work
men in competition with other industries bid
ding for capital, managers and men .the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to
managers and to the men.

American principle of rewards for work well done.
