Chicago, May 31.-Universal control OF
the railroads Of the United States by the
Federal government was predicted to-day
by the big railroad men and railroad at
torneys.
Within the present generation. it was
declared by the railroad operators Of Chi
cago, the railroad lines of the country
would be run under the regulation Of the
United States government. Almost with
out exception railroad attorneys agreed
with the views presented by President
Roosevelt in his Decoration Day speech
at Indianapolis
The time is not far distant when every
railroad Of the country will be under the
control of the United States. II viii not
be many years before a railroad ticket
will be purchased ike a 2-cent stamp.
A universal rate viii be accorded 20 every
one. No special rate. passes. or rebates
VIII be granted and every railroad in the
United States viii be working on a fair
and equal basis that viii mean good re-
turns for every investor interested" was
the declaration OF one big railroad man
who IS connected with a number Of lines.
This will be the ultimate result of the
present agitation against the railroads Of
the country"
Dislike state Control.
Railroad officials declare that it is only
right that big railroads. covering miles Of
territory and extending through many
States. should fall under the direction
and jurisdiction Of the government. in
stead of being subject to the control Of
State government
Edward T. Glennon, head of the law
firm Of Glennon, Cary. Walker & Howe.
representing the Lake Shore and AIichi-
gan Southern, the New York Central. the
Nickel Plate. and the Big -Four railroads.
declared that complete Federal control
would be the ultimate result Of the agi-
tation directed against the railroads of
the present day.
The time will come when every rail
road of the country will be under Federal
control" he said. Il believe that railroad
tickets in the future will be bought like
United States postage stamps. A general
rate viii be decided upon by the govern
ment and that rate will be the only one
upon which railroad tickets will be sold"
Wants to study Question.
President c. B. Harris. Of the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy Railroad. was not
inclined 10 discuss his views Of the out
come of the railroad agitation
Until I make "a study of what Federal
control really means, I would not want 70
give my views" said Mr.. Harris.
'One important question that arises is.
VIII the State be willing to relinqush its
rights to control the corporation within
its territory. IL the State gives up its
rights. then Federal control is possible
Otherwise, I cannot see how the United
States can direct the railroads"
