PART IV-RAILWAY EFFICIENCY AND LABOR FOREWORD In planning this volume of The Annals the editors have kept in mind the inclusive discussions that have heretofore been published in the columns of The Annals. The emphasis in this volume, therefore, has been placed upon the current issues as to railway regulation and the participation of labor in the management of the railroads. A number of contributors failed during the last week to present their articles, hence certain of the discussions are not as balanced in presentation as had been planned by the editors. However, the articles already printed by the Academy together with those published in this issue will present an inclusive and well-rounded discussion of the railway problem. For the guidance of our readers we give below the articles that have appeared in preceding issues of The Annals dealing solely with phases of the railroad problem and the names of the contributors of those articles.
