RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to
Their Needs,


Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu.
tives, headed by Mr. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-fiye Of the leading
railroad systems Of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
fculties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO.
operation OF the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
of credits at home and abroad With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
Of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation OF the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
conttagration when the flames meet
Is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: by reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently Of each other, as |
well as through the action OF a strong |
public opinion, railroad expenses in |
recent years have vastly increased. |
No criticism is here made of the gen
eral theory Of governmental regula-
tion, but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers Of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement OF plain
truth The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary. con-
-inuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the attention
u the country to the imperative need
hat railway credits be sustained and
ne railroads helped in every possible
vay whether by private cooperative
'hort or by the action, wherever
of governmental agencies, and
am glad to do so because | think
he need very real" t
The conference was certainly a
one for the nation and the 1
resident is to be congratulated for 1
pening the gate to new world of t
hort in which everyone may cooper
te. .
There are many important prob f
ms in our complex civilization that p
Ill yield to cooperation which will
ot lend themselves to arbitrary rul.
gs Of commissions and financing
lilroads is one of them. The man II
ith the money is a factor that can n
IT be elimiI ated from any business Il
ansaction and the public is an inter
ted party that should always be con- 81
tied and happily the president has II
vited all to participate in the solu-
IN Of our railroad problems. "
