Washington, Nov. 2o.-Ten members
of Congress, five Senators ant five
members OF the House Of Representa-
tives, began here today an inquiry into
the subject of public control and SUI
pervision of railroads that may lead to
the revolutionizing of the whole scheme
of governmental regulation of the coun-
try's transport ttion lines. Incidentally
the committee is to look into the ques-
ton of government ownership of rail-
ways, telephone and telegraph lines
and express companies.
The members of the committee
which will conduct this important in
v~estigation are Senator Newlands Of
Nevada, chairman; Senators Robinson
of Arkansas, Underwood of Alabama.
Cummins Of Iowa and Brandegee OF
Connecticut, and Representatives Adj
amson of Georgia, Sims of Tennessee,
Cullop of Indiana, Esch of Wisconsin
and Hamilton Of Michigan. The in
quiry was recommended by President
Wilson in his message to Congress iii
December of last year. He. described
as its purpose to determine what could
be lone for bettering the conditions
under which the railroads are operated
and for making them more useful serv-
ants Of the country as a whole.''
Prominent Men as Witnesses.
In order to obtain the views of all
interests affected by the operations of
the transportation lines the committee
has invited prominent shippers, bank
ers, representatives of commercial or
CARNATIONS, railway executives, econo-
mists and others to appear before them.
The first to be heard are railroad
commissioners of various states who
began their evidence today. Their
testimony is directed chiefly to oppos-
ing any enlargement of the federal
authority over commerce that would
detract from the powers now exercised
by state bodies. They VIII be followed
shortly by officials of railway labor
organizations who are expected to reg.
lister their opposition to the Increase
OF governmental authority over wages
and conditions Of labor.
