M'ADOO DENIES
FAILURE TO PAY
TO RAILROADS
Rentals in First Eight
JMonths Amount to
$650,000,000.
To correct the impression which
prevails in some quarters that the
United States Railroad Administra
tion in or has been withholding: the
standard rentals due to the various
railroad* under its control pending the i
execution of operating contracts.
Director General SfcAdeo yesterday)
announced that rentals paid to these |
railroads for the first eight months
of the- year amounted to approxi
mately #f*?."00,u00. Tho allegation,
therefore, that the omission of any
lailroad corporation to settle its debts j
or '.iaims as^inst it is due to the
failure of the government to pay up
is unfounded.
"The fact is." says the director
general, "that the equivalent of the
standard rentals already vary largely
has liaen paid to every railroad in
the United States under government
control. In many cases the director
general. -4n addition to paying these
roads an amount equal to i#> per cent
of their standard rental (which pay
ments in advance of the execution of
contracts are permissive and not com
pulsory under the railroad act),
advanced additional sums of money
to these railroad corporation* to en
able them to meet maturing bond is
sues which they and their financial
agents were unable under existing
conditions to provide for. and to pay
large sums for new equipment and
betterments."
From the statement presented by
3lr. McAdoo it appears that the
director general has disbursed overi
and above all current expenses of]
operation between $800,0u0,u0?> and;
S9C0.609.0W. These payments have j
been met out of earnings of the rail- J
road properties since January 1.
and from current balances taken over
on January I. 1918, an<\ from the
Treasury's revolving fund of $600.
*>]?.<j00. The director general has also
advanced on account of orders placed
by him for locomotives and cars now
under construction the further sum
of $11.72T.S70.

Director General Sends
Message to Regional Di

Director General McAdoo today sent^
the -following LaborTWjr m?tme to
all regional directors:
"In view of the coloaaal war' In
which America* I* a party contf>athnt
nnd of the gravity of the 1milea In
volved. concerlng a? they do the llvea
and liberties of the people of the
world, the celebration of Ijibor Day.
IMS. posaeaae* a special significance.
Ha>7 Get Holiday.
"I shall be glad, therefore. If you
' will permit as many railroad em- 1
I loves to participate in the forthcom
ing Labor Day celebrations through- |
out the country as will not hamper es- ,
sential railroad operations. The pres
sure upon transportation is ^?o great j
that it is. of course, important not
to reduce train service for even a day,
but doubtless it wUl be possible, by
making preparations in advance, to |
give a larger number of employes j
liberty that day than could other- 1
wise be done.
? Not only is the welfare of labor
concerned in this war, but the wel
fare of every class oC people in
America and throughout the world.
The million of America's splendid
sons we are sending to Europe to ,
settle these issues in our favor can- I
not do theft- part of this great job j
unless we, each and every one of
us who stay at homo, do our part
equally well and on time. Any fail
ure to produce at home the things
our men must have if they are to
tight successfully would mean .dis
aster . Sucii a disaster would be
less appalling in the injury to, or
destructiou of, our material in
terests thin in the subjujfatfon# if
not the destruction, of the noble j
itieals for which America stands and .
sheds her blood. These ideals arc
the very foundation of ChrlSfs doc
trines and of modern Christian civ
ilization. It is inconceivable that
svfrh a calamity as a German vic
tory can befall the world since
America entered the conflict un
less we at home fail to do our duty
and our* full share. I have no
doubt about America's performance
of her duty, and th.it means that
I have no doubt of the patriotism I
and willingness ,of every class of
our people, including labor, to
strive and sacrifice and fight on
until the glorious victory is won.
Daty Vastly Important.
"The railroadmen of the United
States have a duty of transcendent
' importance?the duty of keeping alive
and efficient the transportation system
oi the country. Without adequate j
and uninterrupted railroad service, j
delivered on time all the time,, the i
essential war industries of the nation ..
will *e helpless and the sacrifices of !
blood and treadfire will be of no aVaiL ,
The railroads of the United State* are
the most vital organ of our entire in
dustrial and economic life. They must
function at the highest point of ef
ficiency, and I know that I cap count
on the loyalty and patriotic co-oper
ation of the railroad employes of the
United States in rendering to our be- j
loved country the best service of \
which they are capable.
?'Let us on Labor Day, 1918, reded I
cate ourselves to the noble cause for j
which we fight Let Us resolve 'never
to stop until military oppression and
all that it represents is wiped from
the face of the earth. Let us stand
shoulder to shoulder with our splen
did sons, whose unbroken ranks in
France have stopped the Kaiser and
given him a new conception of our
fighting power. America's triumph
in this war will then be inevitable.
America's victory will give a new
meaning to liberty and democracy
throughout the world.

?
Preparation of Salesmen for
After War Vital,
Says Holland.
More than thirty ^mlti ago the
i Standard Oil Company set ti# m
! ample which James JL' FarreU and
others later successfully lmiuted and
1 which is now to be in some measure.
[or as far as practicable. adopted Jn
| preparing: young Americans for serv
1 Ice in foreign markets whereby
American industries can be placed In
| successful competition with the in
dustries of other natipns. A few
I weeks ago Walter Clark Teagle,
| president of the Standard Oil Com
| pany of New Jersey, said that one of
1 the organizations identified by the
| Standard Oil name had invested 176,
, 000,000 for the purpose of creating and
I maintaining trade in the Far East for
' the products of this company. That
I investment undoubtedly represents In
part the training which was given to
: the salesmen who now represent or,
have represented this company in the
| Far East.
Thin training involved so ? far as
i possible the mastery, of the language
j of the different countries to whidh
I representatives were sent. It also
I involved the training of these repre
| sentatives in the racial, political and
geographic characteristics . of other
nations, and especially the familiarise
| ing of the salesmen with trade cus
to ma and the particular ldnd of com
| modities as well as the packages in
which commodities are placed which |
suits the various markets.
Large Export Trade Bfaw.
! By reason of this training a very !
large export trade in the products of ;
this company was secured, so large
that at one time when there was a
j^anic in the United States the com- ;
pany was able by means of its foreign
exchange facilities materially to ie
lleve the financial distress that then j
! prevailed. i
As soon as possible after the organ- I
ization of the United States Steel j
Corporation a foreign sales depart
ment was created at the head of which
James A. Farrel, now president of the
corportion. was placed. The training '
which those who were to act as sales- I
men for the corporation in other lands
received was almost like a university
course. These salesmen were ex
pected to learn the language of the
. ountry to which they were to be
sent and many of them did as speed
ily an possible master the foreign
language. They were taught the
geography and the natural character
istics of each nation and was es
pecially urged after arriving at the
places to which they were sent to l>e- ]
come familiar with racial aa well as
social customs, not seek'.n^ by the so
called ' hustling" methods which have
characterised American domestic
salesmen to command trade hut in
stead of that to act with due sense
of the manners and custom* which
distinguish various markets abroad.
There followed within a remark
ably short time most gratifying re
sults. Whereas st the time of the
organization of this foreign sales,
depsrtment our manufacturer of'
steel snd Iron products were not j
exporting in sny large amount their |
products to foreign landa. it was ,
possible within a few years to re-1
port that the export trade of the |
corporation had increased by a
$100,000.00? with promise of still j
greater incresse.
Some eight or nia? years sgo the
late James Stlllman. after his re
turn to New York from a visit to I
Groat Britain and France. spoke {
with earnestness of the opportu- i
nlties thst were opening In South
America for American trade. He
said, however, that this could not be I
secured until salesmen were well- j
trained, who had lived for two or |
three years in South America and j
who had become familiar with tfio
social as well as the trade methods
of South American people.
Now an organisation has been j
perfected for the purpose of prepar
ing young Americans to take sue- ;
cessful part in the greet m*orld trade
which will begin after the war Is |
over. The organisation will act un
der the authority of the United
States Bureau of Education. A
committee of fifteen members has
been appointed, and its character Ja
demonstrated by the fact that Cyrus
II. McCormick is a member of the
committee as well as Charles U.
Schwab and John Hays Hammond
and aoinr of the leading educators
of the United States This i* ?b*
beginning of a nation-wide attempt
to secure a* soon as the war la
over competent young men who will
be able to aid the United States in
the competition for the markets of
the world. r .
Straggle After Mar.
President Farrel! and others have
at the recent meetings of the For
eign Trade Association* spoken with
great earnestness of the fact that
after the war Is ended there la to
be a world covering struggle, peace
able. yet severe, for command of
the market*. The picas of Mr. Far
reU and of others have been heard
by Conjreas and the government.
American exporters are now permit
ted to make combinations, trade
agreements and to establish co
operation and co-ordination so far as
foreign markets are concerned. Amer
ican bankers hsve already estab
lished branch banks In other nations
are are likely speedily to increase the
number of them. There is no longer
any doubt but that the United
States will have shipping in sbund
ance for transporting our commodi
