SHONTS PLEADS
FOR RAILROADS
Urges Square Deal" for
Transportation Companies
Of This Country.

NEW YORK, Feb ia plea for a
merchant marine adequate to exploit the
product Of American machinery and
American houdicraft. by Secretary OF
the Treasury Leslie NJ Shaw, and a de
mand by Theodore p. Shonts. chairman
Of the Panama Canal Commission. and
recently elected president of the Inter
borough metropolitan Company, OF this
city, for square deal' for railroad
homogeneous stockholders. and the
public. were the features of the banquet
of the Iowa Society of New York at
the Waldorf-Astoria last night.
Mr.. ShcLts said. In part:
Railroad rates in the United States
are lower than anywhere else in the
world, while the service, under normal
conditions. Is better.
q 90 not think that the public is de-
handing cheaper transportation so much
as IT is demanding safe. reliable. and
adequate transportation.
IN the m9tter Of improvements the
railroads OF the country. almost without
exception, have been pursuing a hand
to-mouth policy which has proved costly
TO themselves and irritating 70 the pub
lie.
THE situation is a grave one If tn
various States continue arbitrarily 70
reduce rates, as some of them are doing.
and the various labor organizations con-
tinue 70 press their demands for in
creased wages and shorter hours the
next unprecedented crop harvested in
this country Will be a record-breaking
crop Of receiverships. / wish to say, and
with all possible emphasis, that in my
judgment the time has come for what
the President calls a square DEAL, but
we want IL all around"
