MVS TKRMIN AI.H BEHIND TIM F N "Kngme tertnlnais and shop* are from 10 to 10 years behind the times, rendering them about 40 per cent ef ftcient." the witness charged. *Tbe "permanent way' of railroad* —claaaift'-ntion yarda. roadbeds, pars ing aiding*, coaling and water faclll tie*. bridges, signal equipment and communication —ha* been «o neglect ed as to b« another aourcc of waat* and Inefficiency." Bridges. It was declared, are. In gtany inatancea. too light to permit the hauling of maximum load train*. Installation of permanent bridge*, while calling for a big outlay tn cash, would net millions In savings to rail roadj each year. I.auck mid. Lack of proper signal system. Bean* slow handling of trains, ac cording to Lauck. He characteriied the system of kstdlng and transfer ting of freight and baggage as ' prim! tlve." Freight cars moved an average of l«.l miles per day in I»17. In com pari son to -4 3 miles in 1120. Lauck ■aid. An Increase of two ton* per oar In tne load carried was noted In the as me period. There was also an Increase of C.« per cent In 1117 to 7 per cent In I'J2O of the number of un serviceable ft eight cars. " Freight caili traveling loaded mov ed two-thirds of the time and were loaded to twS-thlrds of their ca psdty."

According to ljtuck's Information 14.02J.500.000 Is the estimated cap) tal outlay of railroads necessary for Improvements in I*2l. 1922 and 1123.

Following Benson's statement, the men and owners, with members of the shipping board present, began a discussion of Ihelr case. B was ex pei ted that an attempt would be made by the owners, who announced a S5 per cent wage cut, to bring In the department of labor aa the prin cipal conciliator. Thl» will be opposed by the men. Benson explained that wages of seamen had been raised during the war to meet high prices. "The new economic conditions and the changes in living costs call for red notions in wages at least aa great as the recent drop in the cost of liv ing, which reflects the return of the dollar toward Its normal value," Ben son said. Benson then recalled that last February the shipping board and owners had Invited the seamen to ■nuke voluntary wage concessions. The men made no concessions, he said. Speaking of demands for prefer ence of union men on American ves sels, Ilonson said: "The shipping hoard, as a govern mental Institution, must stand for that quality In Its relations to the government which la guaranteed to every cltlxen by the constitution of the United States." • • • SAN FBANCISCO, April 17—Sea men and ship owners of the Pacific coast today were trimming sails for a storm and at the same time pro dieting fair weather.
