WARNS OF RAILROAD RULE
State Control Only Cure for Fed
eral Ownership, Says Foss.

BOSTON. Jan. 2-Immediate and ede-
ouate state regulation OF transportation
systems was declared by Governor Eli
gene y. Foss to-day, in his third inau-
guTal address. to be the alternative 70
national ownership and operation OF the
railroads of the country. He advised the
Legislature TO postpone the selection OF
United States Senator until the people
could have an opportunity TO express
preference. Governor Foss said.
The greatest problem before the Ameri-
can people is TO maintain the government
above railroad domination. This problem
has reached a crisis in Massachusetts.
IL is clear that If commonwealth does
not control the railroad situation the de-
ton by the federal government Will soon
become irresistible.
The only way to postpone government
ownership Is TO retain In the common
wealth the power 10 regulate the trans
portation system. TO assert that power at
once and to apply 1t without delay. /
assert that the election Of a United States
Senator by n partisan caucus will be a
declaration that the control Of the Leg
islature which has secured the defeat of
every measure designed TO effect a regu-
lation Of the railroad monopoly is still
potent.
AS an early solution Governor Foss
urged the dissolution Of the holding COM
pany, through which the New Haven
road now controls the Boston Maine
Railroad
