Government and Railroads
The American railroads are being
put increasingly on the spot. They
had tough times during the depres
sion years of the Thirties. Some of
them went bankrupt and remain
that way, despite the tremendous
volume of wartime business. Times
' are good" on the railroads now, too.
They are hauling all the freight they
can haul. V.'cJ, then, asks the pub
lic, if business is so good, why can't
the railroads keep on granting wage
increases?
Folks coming to our town ride the
Missouri Pacific. Although it went
bankrupt in 1933, this rail -oad now
has on order $35 million worth of
new cars and locomotives. That's
an example of how a bankrupt rail
road has to pay out money. And
that's not all. Its gross revenues
were up 54 per cent in 1947 as com
pared with 1929, and net income
was up 40 per cent. But here's the
catch. Its taxes have gone up 173
per cent!
Government Trouble
As a matter of fact; payrolls and
payroll taxes took more than half
tile gross revenues of the railroads i
in 1946. At the same time, the rate
of rctuVn for stockholders, based on
property valuation, has dwindled to
around 3 per cent. Not more than ;
Vh per cent is the estimate by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
for 1947, and this does not include
wage increases. That's mighty poor
investment!
Everybody seems to be unhappy
about the railroads. The various un
ions are usually ready to complain
about wages. Yet management finds
wage Increases coming, with no
profits to absorb- them. And some
times the public gets sore. Pretty
soon somebody gets the bright idea.
We'll Just let the government take
the railroads over, and that'll settle
everything. They just think it will.
That's what the trouble is now. Gov
ernment trouble.
Some On .The' Rocks
In my opinion, the extensive gov
ernment regulations are fundamen
tally to blame for the railroads' fail
ure' to make ends meet despite the
greatest volume of business they
ever had in peace time. American
railroads are probably regulated by
government, more than any other
major industry. In years when rail
roads see that profits are too small,
or even non-existent as in 1946, they
may petition the government for
rate Increases. ;
These may be granted or they
may not. Some relief was granted
the railroads early this year. But
these prospects were at once swal
lowed in wage increases, and addi
tional increases are 'being asked
even though many railroads are al
ready on the rocks. If things go on
for another decade in this manner,
we shall see a great and important
industry fold up-completely. 7-
The future of our industry depends
much upon the future of our rail
roads. Yet, unless railroad credit
can be restored, . unless the lines
are permitted to eam enough money
to pay fair dividends and attract
new investment, to keep equip
ment and properties In good condi
tion, then it will not be possible to '
keep paying - good wages to em
ployees. In this critical period, wage
increases may be the burden that
breaks the railroads. If the ralV
roads are crippled, or if govern-
