Mr. Thorn referred to the recent case
in which the New York Central, which
has not over 90 miles OF line in Illinois,
was taxed 100000 BY the state Of Hi.

state to the issue of certain securities.
He asked why the states OF New York,
Ohio. Indiana and the others through
which the road runs could not with as
much reason exercise the same right.
IF they did" he continued, commerce
as whole would be most GENEROUSLY bur

commerce must help to bear the burden
of this tax placed upon the road by the
state OF Illinois, contrary to their views
OF the justice of such tax.

was that the issue failed and the conse-

MEN HAVE RIGHT
TO STOP WORKING,
A. f. L. DECLARES
Expresses Itself Vigorously Against Com
pulsory Arbitration, in
Resolution.

Baltimore, Nov. 25.--The American
Federation of Labor again yesterday Wig
orously declared itself against any and
all kinds of compulsory arbitration.
"Men, individually and collectively
have right to stop work any day or
any time in free democracy, and their
right is natural, legal, inlienable and
never should be surrendered; laws that
violate this right are reactionary, un-
constitutional and dangerous to the sta
bility of Democratic government" the fed
Grafton declared by resolution.
While the action was aimed directly at
the Colorado state law "for enforced in
vestigation of labor disputes" one clause
specifically directs organized labor to
oppose any effort to enact federal legis-
lation of the same kind.

Local Regulation Compli-
Gates the Investment
Problem
BILLION NEW CAPITAL
ANNUALLY NEEDED
Bad Situation with Which to
Face Investor, Say
Railroads

| Washington, Nov Railroads will
need 81 100000 additional capital an
nually for the next 10 or II years to in
crease their facilities to handle the
country's growing commerce. Alfred p.
Thorn, counsel for the railway executives
advisory committee, told the congression-
al RAILROAD investigating committee yes
terday. continuing his statement on be-
half of the railroads begun Thursday
About $250,000,000 year additional will
be required, he said, to refund maturing
Indebtedness. To attract investors, Mr.
Thorn suggested that federal regulation
should replace the present system of au
thority divided between the states and
the central government.
Referring to the need of additional
railroad facilities, Mr.. Thorn said:
ut has been found that the wealth of
the country has been increasing at the
rate of s or per cent a year and the
same ratio of increase has held good as
to the demand for transportation. As
the forces which have affected the growth
and development of the past apparently
still continue in full operation and may
reasonably be expected to continue for
the next 10 or Is years at least, the in
vestment in railroad facilities to meet
the large requirements of the future
must consequently grow at a correspond
ing annual rate of increase" The esti-
mate of Sl,25O,000000 for additional
transportation facilities includes nothing
for extensions into new territory, he add
ed
"Whefe Is this money or any sum APP
it to come from?' asked
Mr.. Thorn. This problem is OF vital in
terest to the public because on its sue
cessful solution depend the commercial T
of the country. Would it do /
to confront the investor, when asking +
for this great investment, with a situa
ton where the revenues of the railroads
are not subject to the control of the in
but are fixed and limited not 4
only by governmental authority, but by
many unco. ordinate state authorities in
no way responsible to each other and
