Farmers and railroads clash over rate cuts and ownership
A communication from editor Clifford Thorne argues for a 25 percent hay and grain rate cut if labor accepts a 5 percent wage reduction totaling 63 million dollars. Railroad executives refused to answer, labor declined to respond, and the piece criticizes private ownership, government operation, and profiteering, citing Hoover commission findings and Canadian rail nationalization as contrast. It praises Henry Ford, Warren Stone, and S. W. Brookhart for cutting rates and improving labor costs.
