TREND TOWARD OWNERSHIP
Government Control of Railroads Will
Be Outcome saws Willard.

Deer Park, Nd, June l5-That gov
eminent ownership of railroads will be
the outcome of the trend of congress
sional legislation is the opinion of Pres
ident Daniel Willard of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, expressed at a con
ference here of the company's officials.
Mr.. Willard said he did not believe
such result would be to the best in
terests of the country, for, OH the ba
sis of rates and service, governmental
ownership, or even exacting regulation,
mad not been proved to be such abroad.
Freight rates, he declared, were far
lower here than in any other country.
and had been going downward i'm face
of the reverse as to operating expenses
Mr.. Willard announced that the pol
icy of his administration was to be a
recognition OF the changed conditions
regarding supervision of railroads, and
strict adherence to the statutes so
long as their validity was undisturbed
by judicial declaration of unconstitu-
tionality.
In urging upon the officials the ne
cessity for complete unity in working
for the cOmpany's interest, Mr.. Willard
pointed out that increased wages on
the Baltimore and Ohio had added up
ward of $2,OO0,OOO to expense of opera
ton, and increased cost of all mater
ials entering into the extensive equip.
ment purchases and betterment in prog
ress had added as many millions more
with other millions, augumenting fixed
charges, required to meet the demands
in bringing the earning power of the
company to the standard it must
achieve to hold it's own.
