Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Nationalisation and the Average Citizen If the Average Citizen would investigate the railway situation, he must needs depend upon the press for information. The question is of vast importance, but it is economic; and Canada has no economic literature. Perhaps that is putting it a little too strongly, but the few books written on economic subjects can scarcely be said to constitute a literature; and, as far as I know, not one has been written on the present railway question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nationalisation of Railways No country has ever been able to adopt entirely the principle of laisser faire 1n regard to railways. In all countries control of some kind exists, ranging from a Commission with no compelling force behind it except public opinion (as in' America, to that'of absolute ownership. In the United Kingdom we have so far steered a middle course. The genius for compromise, so characteristically British, has produced our present hybrid system - a system which is neither logical nor effective. So gingerly have we treated the problems involved - the transport of goods, the carriage of passengers, and the employment of an army of workpeople - that it is safe to say that never was there more profound dissatisfaction amongst shareholders, traders, travellers, and workers than exists at the present time. Magazines and newspapers have given vent to the dissatisfaction of shareholders, traders, and travellers threats of strike and disruption have been the mode of expressionof the workers. This general dissatisfaction is well grounded. The burden of capital grows ever greater, dividends are declining, the legitimate demands of traders are ignored, and the railway worker finds himself unable to keep pace with the progress of other workmen in the improvement Of his conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railways and Nationalisation The considerable degree of attention which has been attracted to railway problems of late, and the views held in some quarters that State ownership and operation would provide an effective solution of labour difficulties on British railways, have led me to think that a re-issue of the present work, originally published in 1908, might be of advantage to those who wish to study the question of Railway Nationalisation from the point of view of practical politics rather than from the academical standpoints favoured by debating societies, school parlia ments, and the exponents of those socialistic programmes in which railway nationalisation naturally takes a leading position. In the light of the recent attempt to bring about a general railway strike in this country, the matters dealt with in Chapter V III., State Railways and Labour, should, I think, be of special interest at the present moment.

Then came the agitation on the part of the railway workers for better pay and conditions of labour. Furthermore, the efforts of certain influential sections of shareholders to enforce reform methods of working on the respective Boards, and the increase in the number of serious accidents, have also played their part in bringing the whole working and administration of the railroads before the public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Should Our Railways Be Nationalised?: A Comparison of British, German, and American Systems About this year, after the controversy between Brunel and Stephenson was settled in favour of the latter, a tremendous rush was made on Parliament for powers to make railways. During this year no fewer than 815 companies were formed, and their plans laid before Parlia ment and the Board of Trade. Landowners at once took advantage of the demand for land, and the railways had to pay double and treble the value, while construction contractors and ironmasters made enormous fortunes out of the railway mania - and the unfortunate and greedy shareholders.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Reform: Its Importance and Practicability Considered as Affecting the Nation, the Shareholders, and the Government IN 1844 an Act Of Parliament was passed for the purpose of enabling Government to purchase on certain specified terms all railways in the United Kingdom that from that time forward should be constructed. TO protect, however, the interests of the shareholders, and give ample time to the nation and the Legislature to have full experience Of the management of our railways by companies, it was enacted, that twenty-one years should elapse before our present system should become subject to any change, or the rights of proprietorship or management of the directors be in any way interfered with. It will, therefore, be seen that in 1865 this bill comes into Operation, and five-sixths of the existing railway mileage will eventually become subject to its provisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Should Our Railways Be Nationalised? Business, he would not do any more with me. He said I had sent on the invoice a week before the goods, he had to go and pay retail price for them to keep his word. It asserted that the goods were given to the Railways the day the invoice was dated, but he said he could not believe the Railways would take eleven days to carry a parcel 400 miles. I protested my innocence, but to no purpose. This part of the drama annoyed and irritated me. Not only had I lost the customer, but in his estimation any virtue I might have for telling the truth. This incident having been so strongly impressed upon my memory, I retailed it over in the Commercial Rooms and to my customers here and there, till I found that I was not by any means the only one that had had goods lost, stolen, or strayed on our railways. SO I made up my mind that I would try to probe the cause of these delays a little further. Tvhen I got home I went to our Dunfermline goods agent and asked him if he would try to find out the reason or cause of the delay. He said he would try. Some two months after, he came to our warehouse and made a statement something like this -oh the first day the Cardiff truss got to Leith' Walk transferring station the second day it was put into a Carlisle wagon, and got into Carlisle on the third day the Midland on the fourth day could not load a wagon for' Gloucester, and kept it over till the fifth that day they put it in a wagon for Derby. A day again was lost here, and on the seventh day it was sent on to Gloucester, got there on the ninth, and was Offered to my customer on the eleventh, and rejected. This story excited my curiosity more than ever. Why was it the Midland did not send on the cwt. Truss at once to Gloucester Because they had not enough goods to load a wagon to the West of England. Next day they were in the same position, but they put it into a wagon that was loaded for Derby, and so on. On thinking the matter over, it seemed clear to me that the trouble lay in the fact that we had three trunk lines contending for the Scotch trade to the W'est O England, and, the trade from Scotland not being very big or heavy, all the three systems were not able to load a wagon each every twenty-four hours, the result being that small parcels of no. 2, 3, 4, and 5 class goods had to be laid aside, or sent from point to point and transferred from one wagon to the other, till six, eleven, and sometimes fifteen days are taken to deliver a truss or box not 200 miles from where it started. It struck me then, and I am of the same Opinion still, that if our railways were all in one pool or belonged to the State, the above classes of goods travelling say one to 400 miles would be all sent to.
