Washington, Dec during a dis.
eussion of federal control Of railroad
securities between Hadley, of the
commission now investigating this
subject and w. p. Hall member of the
Massachusetts commission, the presi-
'ent Of Yale drew attention to the in
creasing feeling that the height of the
dividend is sufficient for sweeping
reduction in railway rates. Commits
ioner Hall would not agree fully wisa
that observation, contending that the
question of what constituted a reason.
able return was almost invariably a
local one.
X is apparent that the commission
will not submit recommendation for
proposed legislation for some time
probably not during the short session.
The data gathered by Prof. Hadley in
Europe has not yet arrived and a
voluminous correspondence with the
railroad officials throughout the coun.
Try is now under way.
