RAILROAD BUSINESS
 ASSOCIATION MEETS

New York, December 10.-Co -ordina- tion of the various agencies of railway regulation was urged in resolution adopted by the Railway Business as- sociation meeting here today. The as- sociation also defined its attitude on railway surplus. propriety of propa ganda on rate advance cases, railway mail pay and extra crew laws.
 The association declared one of the most serious endorsements and which the interstate commerce commits si0n labors is that it cannot enforce it's findings where they conflict with state action. Until some permanent so- lution of this problem is found it was suggested that the federal commission hold conferences with state commits sions to obtain cooperation.
 "The country should consider it's transportation problem as whole. with broad outlook on the general prosperity" the resolution says
 It was contended in the resolutions that a general rate advance propa- ganda in justiflable, as the people have vital interest in strengthening rail- way credit" and have right to eX- press their views.
