Harrison, chairman of the Railway Labor Executives Association, commenting on hearings before the Presidents fact finding committee. Railroads must not be permitted to maintain a suicidal system of public debts which exceed the valuation of property holdings. If the roads pursue their charted course by taking $250,000,000 from the earnings of railroad labor they will not only fail to solve their problem, but, due to the effect this raid on purchasing power will have on the nation as a whole, will kick themselves downstairs," Harrison said.
