To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1917 the railroad offices used 184, 000 clerks; at the end of 1920 with business about normal the roads were using something under 239, 000 clerks. The pay enve- lopes of these clerks contained in 1917 more than $189, - 000, 000 a year; they are paid now at a rate per year of $399, 000, 000. The roads now need 17 men to do about the same>^ amount of work as 13 men did three years ago, but the public pays for practically the same service $19 now for every $9 then. In 1917 before government co...ntrol the entire pay roll of all the railroads in the country footed up to $1, - 739, 482, 142. That wage bill in 1920 had more than doubled, reaching a grand total of about $3, 610, 000, 000. The 1921 pay roll is hkely to go well over the two billions mark. One more of these statistical facts — In 1917 the rail- 70 THE PUBLIC REFUSES TO PAY roads figured their total operating expenses at $2, 860, - 000, 000. Thus, it costs far more for wages alone today than the total expenses of operation three years ago.
