Chenoweth gave the Red Cross. . credit for saving the lives of many of the prisoners.

Finally the prisoners began to receive them and the rations contained bolstered the ebbing vitality of the Americans. At first the Jap guards were -very strict. They divided the prisoners into groulps of ten. If one of the ten escaped the other nine were slaughtered.

Railway national . ial security system be expanded and /extended to the point where it would require a tax of 3 3-4 per cent of rail payrolls. President Gurley, making it: plajn that the management and the emPloyees of his company get along on Ja friendly basis, and that he in. tends to dohis utmost to continue that relationship, spoke out against the new and costly social se¢urity proposal on the ‘sound ground that it would place such a burden on the major railroads as to destroy job apportunities that will be badly need ed after the war. First things come first, the Santa Fe president told the committee, and the “first thought! of all the people with whom I work is steady employment.’’ He bluntly declared that. ‘‘social gains’’ bought at the price of taxing jobs out of existence are not gains, but costly blunders. Speaking as.a representative .of all the major rail lines, President Gurley warned that if the railroads are to play their part in aiding the country to achieve full employment and a sound economy during the post war years, they. must be enabled to build up reserves for new equipment, for delayed maintenance and for modernization ‘programs to insure better service to shippers and passengers. “T think it is fair to say that the first and perhaps the only justification for the existence of a railroad company, or for the jobs of the employes of that company, is to render 'a service that is satisfictory to the customer. If we are really interested in the future welfare of railroad workers, we should be looking for some way to strengthen the railrods instead of weakening them in their /competition with other forms of transportation. There is no surer way of weakening them than by subjecting them to unproduetive increases in their operating costs.’’ RRR That statement might well be applied to many other industries, both in California and throughout the nation. Particularly it needs to be applied when new payroll taxes are proposed which would cut deeper in to the funds of management and the workers, There is no social security program yet devised which has as much — to recommend it as a steady job.

Railway national . ial security system be expanded and /extended to the point where it would require a tax of 3 3-4 per cent of rail payrolls. President Gurley, making it: plajn that the management and the emPloyees of his company get along on Ja friendly basis, and that he in. tends to dohis utmost to continue that relationship, spoke out against the new and costly social se¢urity proposal on the ‘sound ground that it would place such a burden on the major railroads as to destroy job apportunities that will be badly need ed after the war. First things come first, the Santa Fe president told the committee, and the “first thought! of all the people with whom I work is steady employment.’’ He bluntly declared that. ‘‘social gains’’ bought at the price of taxing jobs out of existence are not gains, but costly blunders. Speaking as.a representative .of all the major rail lines, President Gurley warned that if the railroads are to play their part in aiding the country to achieve full employment and a sound economy during the post war years, they. must be enabled to build up reserves for new equipment, for delayed maintenance and for modernization ‘programs to insure better service to shippers and passengers. “T think it is fair to say that the first and perhaps the only justification for the existence of a railroad company, or for the jobs of the employes of that company, is to render 'a service that is satisfictory to the customer. If we are really interested in the future welfare of railroad workers, we should be looking for some way to strengthen the railrods instead of weakening them in their /competition with other forms of transportation. There is no surer way of weakening them than by subjecting them to unproduetive increases in their operating costs.’’ RRR That statement might well be applied to many other industries, both in California and throughout the nation. Particularly it needs to be applied when new payroll taxes are proposed which would cut deeper in to the funds of management and the workers, There is no social security program yet devised which has as much — to recommend it as a steady job.
