TRIKE MAY BRING
FEDERAL CONTROL

Raymond c. Brown, secretary of the
chamber Of commerce, believes that the
threatened railroad strike in the main.
land contains the possibility OF great
good to the country. In an interview
given out yesterday, he said that as he
figures it the strike may bring about
permanent government control and
operation of theNToads, even if it does
not bring actuSE government owner,
snn "a : 'on'umm9 %" which he desires
"As | see it," said Brown, ave
have come to stage in our national
development where it is absolutely nee
essary for us to adopt some system
whereby we can continue to develop
our railroads. 1t is true, Of course,
that the development has been huge
nut even 80 it is far short of what the
country as whole needs. There are
vast tracts of the United States which
are untouched by rail, and yet they ore
as valuable, or more valuable than sec.
tions which have been expanded and
enriched by the coming of the iron
horse.
Railroad men admit this, but they
assert that the roads cannot possibly
accomplish the needed work of expun.
sion, and they cap their statements
with II string of figures to show that
the roads are not now earning drvi.
lends ON the investments they repre-,
wut. If this is all true, and | believe
It is, then the only way that the
nrrded expansion can be obtained for
the country is through government
ownership of railroads.
"Thr feeling against this, strong at
one time in tho mainland, is now dying
down rapidly, and the opposite senti,
meut is growing relative as fast.
Personally believe that this
strike may be- n good thing for the Ma
tion, OF at lcust that it may contain
one consolation for the trouble and dis
turbance it will undoubtedly cause. IT
may give the government an OppOr-
tunity to show that government opera
tion of the lines can be as efficient and
as satisfactory as private operation.
