Moreover, under this plan, the employees of the railroads would have effective control over the hours they work and over the pay they would receive for that work. And the government would pay the bill. One can be reasonably sure that the Brotherhoods would be generous to themselves in fixing the wages of their own members. In other words, what the men spend on themselves by their own vote, at their own good pleasure, the public would pay in taxes...
