BIGGEST PROBE
OF R.R. TRAFFIC
NeWIandS Resolution Now Be-
fore Senate Provides Inquiry
Into New Question.

The country in all probability is
facing the most important inyestiga-
ton into the transportation problem
ever held in the history of American
rsilroading.
The report to the Senate yesterday by
Senator Newlands, chairman Of the In
terstate Commerce Committee, OF a
joint resolution for an investigation by a
joint committee of Congress into the
whole question of foreign and inter-
state transportation has passed almost
= unnoticed thus far. But II the resolu-
tlon should be adopted by Congress as
it probably will be, it is bound to draw
nationwide attention.
President Wilson recommended an in
vestigation by the commission and the
hating Of all railroad legislation while
this was going on. Various measures
we're presented or the strength of L..
In the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee there have been important
DEVELOPMENTS. 1t was contended by
some of the committee that while tie
Investigation should tie held 1t should
not be one that would give any as
surances to the railroads that Govern
ment regulation was t. be mace less
effective. On the contrary, It was
urged that 1t must be such a broad
investigation as would protect fully the
rights Of the public, and while not tax
ing course hostile to the roads, WoGld
find out what must lie done in this
country TO make the transportation
system measure uprfully to the eNpoI.d-
ed and expanding public demands.
The resolution, as 1t has been report
ed, is of the broadcast scope Under 1t,
the entire foreign and interstate trans
portation problem can be and is to be,
investigated. What is needed to make
the transportation system efficient Is
to be studied, what is needed to add TO
the benefits to the public and shippers,
questions of Incorporation AMI capital'H-
alton, and, in general all the command
ing phases of this tremendous subject.
Need for reorganization Of the In
teTstate Commerce Commission VIII De
studied. The resolution holds out no
promise to the railroads there will be
no legislation, meantime. However, II
is provided that report shall be MADE
to Congress next LCcemBer so that II
will not serve to delay Hesitation lor4

That the Government ownership OF

tho problem studied was learned today
The proposed committee Is to consist
of FIVE Senators and hve House mem
