Terrorism OF the strike" was urged
as the prime need of the public and
railroad corporations in an address de-
liyered before the fifth annual con-
v~ention of the Investment Bankers
Association of America here today by
Walker d. Hines of the advisory COM
mittee and general counsel of the At
Gibson, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road company.
OF equal Importance, Mr.. Hines de-
clared, was legislation whereby state
regulations reducing net incomes
through reduction of rates and in
crease Of costs will be superseded by
national regulations and legislation
whereby the power to issue stocks
and bonds shall be derived from, and
the method Of their issue supervised
by, the nation. All these things were
needed to insure the stability of rail-
road reorganization plans, he said.
"The public is interested in the
railroad companies being able to raise
sufficient additional capital to keep
the railroad properties abreast Of the
progressive demands Of our rapidly
developing business and civilization"
said Mr.. Hines.
"That capital cannot be secured
unless investors can be induced to
furnish it unless attractive securities
can be offered and these securities
cannot be attractive unless there is a
reasonable prospect that the railroad
net income shall not be indiscrimin-
ately impaired through f~ragmentary
local legislation and through irrespon-
sible exactions of organized labor"
The speaker declared the time was
ripe for dealing with these problems,
in view of the forthcoming inquiry
into the national railroad situation on
the part Of congress.
