PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN FAVOR
(Carl Groat.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-A. B.
Garretson believes the strong gov
ernmental interference with the rail-
road strike is step toward the gov
ernment ownership of railroads and
public utilities. He said: Ten years
hence you'll see a mighty stride to
ward government operation of all
railroads. I believe in such a pro-
gram. Sentiment in that direction is
growing steadily"
Garretson explained that some rail-
roads might lose money as result
of governmental regulation, but pre-
dicted such lines would seek gov
ernment reimbursement, This viii
