Failroad Plan 10 Get Rates Down
Statement by Thomas Dewitt Culver chairman of the Association of Railway Executives after a Chicago meeting October 14 1921. Railroads plan wage reductions to lower rates and urge wage rollbacks for train service and other labor to reduce costs. They cite 1920 earnings deficits, deferred maintenance, and rising upkeep, arguing current rates do not reflect true costs and that labor costs remain the main burden.

Railroads Face Higher Costs After Wage Controls
Government wage controls under the Adamson Act raised railroad labor costs from about 1.47 billion to 3.70 billion annually, with potential 3.90 billion if extended. Despite wage cuts of 10-12 percent, the system still strains revenues as rate reductions and public oversight cap returns. Railroads argue public needs and labor costs limit ability to cut prices, citing scarce profit margins during years of rising farm prices and wages.
