HEAD OF N. Y. CENTRAL
URGES STOCK SUPERVISION
Alfred n. Smith Also Says Steel Cars
and Other Improvements Strength
en- Railroads.

Pittsburgh, Feb. ALFRED II. Smith,
president of the New York Central
lines, addressing the Engineering so
ciety of Western Pennsylvania at its
annual dinner here, expressed the
highest confidence in government com
missions for railroad regulation. He
said in part:
ut appears most probable and
proper that the government, through
its commissions, shall pass upon the
OUTLAWS made by railroads in providing
facilities for the service of the public
as sound basis on which to compute
rates and to yield a fair return to in
yestors.
1t has been stated the railroads
carry one ton of high-class freight
three miles for the value of two-cent
postage stamp, and one ton Of dead
freight four miles for one cent. Not
all of them are making money at these
rates. Some of them are getting thin
and emaciated.
THE strength and efficiency of
sound railroads lie in heavy steel
rails, good ballast, steel cars, mSuSTn
signal systems and other appurte-
nances that constitute safe transpor-
tation machine, whose efficiency is
proved by paying the highest wages
for services rendered by its employees
and furnishing transportation at the
lowest cost. o.
This is a simple problem. Thu
who complicate it only hide the truth.
In the commissions the people have
provided a means of searching out the
facts in order to do justice. The rail
roads have hope and confidence in
these bodies, which, by their efforts
to learn and speak the whole truth,
are bound to perpetuate and enhance
the confidence of the people in the
great DroDertieS"
