MarshaX Connects Old
Cars and Watered Stock

WASHINGTON, Sept 3-"If l sticA
a knife into a man. am charged We.
homicide. but We let railroad direc-
tors use wooden cars and cause great
loss of life because steel cars cost too
much money and they can't pay divi-
dends on watered STOCK"
This statement was made today to
the United Press by Vice-President
Marshall. in discussing the Walling.
ford, Conn, wreck. He declared the
use Of wooden cars on the New Ha-
ven was unquestionably the cause OF
the great death toll.
There is no question but steel cars
are one OF the greatest safety de.
vices said the vice-president. That
the American public demands the
greatest possible safety and Is even
ready TO stand an increase in RAJ
road rates, to secure safety was
clared by the vice-president.
But II the railroads don't water
their lines with steel cars and safety
appliances under the present rates.
he asserted.
The trouble with the railroads is
that there are too many wheels with
In wheels, too many corporations
within corporations-and the original
parent corporation is almost lost.
Il think the American people, when
they get the facts regarding railroad
rates-the full facts regardless Of pre-.
judices-mean to be perfectly fair.
believe l they are. once convinced
that either passenger or freight rates
are too low, SO as not to enable
railroads to equip with every known
proved safety device and to pay the
very highest grade of wages, the peo-
pie will cheerfully consent to an In
crease In rates In order that the very
highest safety may be promoted, and
the very highest wages paid.
The public Is entitled to every
modern appliance and invention that
will promote Its safety.
II have never had any controversy
with the railroads except that shey
have been too secretive.
In my humble opinion, too, the
courts have interfered too much with
the state railway commissions In their
regulation of the roads. am on old.
fashioned states rights Democrat and
think 1T Is foolish to say that state
commissions can't have anything to
say about railroads which run through
the states"
The vice-president frankly said he
did not know whether an increase In
rates Is necessary to enable railroads
to use steel cars throughout or to
equip their lines with safety appli.
ances, but he pointed to the Penn
sylvania System as an example OF
what railroads can do under existing
rates-unless stocks are heavily wa
tered.
