SAFETY DEMANDS
FEDERAL CONTROL
OF THE RAILROADS
Only Way TO Meet Emergencies
Of Nation, Says A. P. Thom
STATES RIGHTS PRESERVED
Principles Which Railways Hold Should
Govern Regulatory System In Inter.
ests Of Public and the Roads-Com.
puIsory System of Federal Incorpo.
ration Favored.


Washington, Dec. 4.-That the inter
ests of national defense require that
control of railway lines should rest
with the federal government and not
with the states was the claim adj
vanced by Alfred P. Thorn, counsel
to the Railway Executives Advisory
Committee, in concluding his prelim-
mary statement Of the case for the
railways before the Newlands Joint
Committee on Interstate Commerce.
1--WE must be efficient as a nation II
we are to deal successfully with our
national emergencies" said Mr.. Thorn,
"and we must appreciate that ef1cient
transportation is an essential condition
of national efficiency. II we are to
halt and weaken our transportation
systems by state lines. by the perma-
nent imposition Of burdens by unwiss
regulation. we will make national EN-
cheney impossible"
States Rights Would Not euffer.,
Mr.. Thorn cited many instances IN
which shippers in one state were In
juriously affected by selfish regula-
tions imposed on the railroads by
neighboring states. He pointed out
that federal regulation would be no In
vas1on Of the rights Of the states but
would be the means OF preserving the
rights which they acquired when they
entered the Union, one Of which was
the right to the free movement Of their
products across state boundaries.
What the Railroads Advocate.
The principles which the railroads
believe should be incorporated in any
just system OF regulation were sum
married by Mr.. Thorn as follows:
/. The entire power and duty OF reg
ulation should be in the hands OF the
national government. except as to mat
tells so essentially local and Incidental
that they cannot be used to interfere
WITH the efficiency Of the service or the
lust rights of the carriers.
