New York, March 2O.--The American
today publishes a lengthy interview
with John ID. Rockefeller, which it
states was obtained on n train while
Mr., Rockefeller WAS en- route from
Augusta, Ga. to Philadelphia. where he
arrived yesterday. In the interview MIR.
Rockefeller is quoted as being opposed
10 the oves-ca pitatlzation OF tho rail-
roads and other corporations and as
favoTing federal control of the rail
roads
OF over-ca pitalization, MIR, Rockefelr
Ter is quoted as saying:
81 think that properties should be
capitalized at only their Legitimate wall
ue, and If that were done there would
be such a feeling of security in them
among the general public that we would
find men with a little money holding
highly profitable stocks instead of al
lowing it TO remain at small interest In
ssvings banks"
Mr.. Rockefeller however, was unable
to suggest remedy for existing cases
OF over-capitalization. He said. In his
argument 1t would be next TO impossf-
BILE to reduce such capitalisatlOns now
without caus Sing chaos but for future
corporations he would suggest consecy-
atism-
Asked II he thought the conferences
between the railroad men and the gov

efeller said, Il cannot say it Is my
idea that federal control would be a
better thing for the roads. They would
then understand the laws they must
observe and would be able to plan

suddenly demanding one thing and an
other state being equally inslstent on
something entirely different. The in
terstate situation and the difference in
the state law Is. 1 think. one OF the
greatest problems railroad men have to
deal With
Speaking Of the general financial con-

THE outlook for railway building In

The country is as prosperous as il
was IL months ago, and the demand for
the construction OF extern SlOms into
new territory and for Increased railway
facilities is a s great, but the campaign
which has been so mercilessly waged
against the railways has caused many
OF the large systems TO adOph policies of
retrenchment and the result is that
much more important work which had
been planned for the present year has
been indefinitely postponed.
There is no market for railway Sc
cIrities except at prob bitiye rates of

are being made are of a temporary ma.
