NEED FINANCIAL AID.
J. J. Hill Says the Government
Must Assist the Railroads.
LATTER's CREDIT IS RUINED
Unable to Borrow Necessary Funds tc
Extend Mileage and Furnish Addi.
tionaI Equipment Demanded by the
Countrys Business.

New York, June 14.-That the ma
tional government will be forced to
lend it's credit to finance the needs of
the railroads of the country was the
statement made by James J. Hill in
an interview here.
''The public in it's evaporation q
said Mr. Hill, will demand that the
railroads shall lay certain rails and
provide more cars. The railroads will
answer that they cannot; that their
credit has been ruined. The govern
ment will be obliged to step in and
lend it's credit to supply this de-
iciency. The situation might lead tc
government ownership of railroads.
That would be the end of republican
government.
"The cause of the trouble is that
the business of the United States has
outgrown the capacity of it's railroads
and the railroads are in no position to
catch up. If men cannot get their
| freight moved they must cease to pro-
| duce it. 1t does not appear any easier
for railroad to get money now than
it was few months ago. I know OF
instances in Western cities where
short term notes Of some Eastern
| roads are being peddled around in
$4,000 lots on a So to 71s per cent
basis. Railroads cannot increase their
facilities under, these conditions. Dur
ing the past seven or eight months the
railroads have raised something like
$800,000,000. Has it gone to increase
facilities?> Not at all; most OF it went
| to pay off old bills"
Concerning the general business out
look Mr.. Hill said:
"There is a general slowing up in
business. It appeared inevitable last
fall; it came and I believe it will con
tinue. I don't think it will hurt any
body, but that it exists there is no
doubt"
Mr.. Hill said his railroad lines had
been troubled, as have other roads, by
excessive breakage Of steel rails. 'The
past spring and winter have been the
worst on record for rail breakages,
said Mr. Hill. "It has been said that
the evil could be remedied by the ex.
elusive use of open hearth rails It is
our experience that the open hearth
rails break worse than the Bessemer
rails. What's the matter? Too much
prosperity. People are trying to make
too much money. The plants are work
ing too hard and trying to do too
| much.'
