UNITED STATES
TO Be RAILROAD
STOCK LEADER

Washington July 12.-In addition to the
plan of appointing receivers for corpora
tions that continually disobey the sher-
man antitrust law, there is suggestion
here that the president favors the acqui-
sition by the government of stocks in rail-
roads so the government may be repre-
sented on the boards of directors.
The object of such holdings would be
that the governments friend in the
company would keep II advised of the
workings OF the concern. its combinations
and whatever 1t did that would be unlaw-
full.
1t is asserted that the main proposition
has been laid before the president, and
that he is giving It consideration. 1t has
been represented TO him as step in the
direction of accomplishing reforms in the
railroad business that could not be
brought about in any other way.
1t is pointed out that this is really the
first step toward government ownership.
and that il was the step taken by Ger
many before that country went into ma
] tionalization OF railroad properties. After
| having obtained this sort OF a foothold in
| the railrads, Germany went step far
ther, bought a trunk line, reduced rates
and dubbed all the other roads into sub
mission, the ultimate result being govern
/ ment ownership.
! IL made at all. the recommendation of
the president will be 10 provide an appro-
priation for the purchase OF a small num-
ber OF shares OF stock In certain railroads
that may be selected When these shares
have been acquired, assuming congress
would fall In with the plan. the admins
| tration will know how to- proceed TO force
the roads into allowing the government u
| director on each board.
| II Is not thought there would be much
difficulty in obtaining director. as tho
| government would know how to use Its
great strength TO obtain its desires. Once
a part OF the inside OF the great railroad
| combinations the governments represon-
| tatives would have no trouble in becoming
acquainted with every detail and would
be in position TO quickly report viola :
tions of the laws OF the country by the
| carriers
Ry means OF directors and the inter
state commerce commission the govern
| ment would have n firm hold on the af-
| fairs OF the railroads. That, at least, is
the argument OF the men who have laid
the suggestion before the president and
believe he will adopt Il as his own.
