VIEW OF LEADERS

Chairman Adamson of the House inter- state commerce committee expressed op- position to the suggestion of repeating the anti-pooling provision of the Sherman act and advocated leaning money only to weak roads Representative Sims, who will succeed Representative Adamson of the committee, advocated government op- eration. Representative Gillett, acting re- publican leader, said he favored almost any plant short of government control.
 A big government loan to railroads has been discussed among high officials for sometime. and President Wilson is known to have given consideration to such sug- gestions even before President Req of the Pennsylvania railroad advocated the plan on the witne ss stand before the interstate commerce commission in the 15 per cent rate hearing several weeks ago.
 Authority to operate railroads was given the President in the following section of the military appropriation act last year; The President in time of war is em- powered, through the Secretary of War, to take possession and assume control of any system or systems of transportation, or any part thereof, and to utilize the same. to the exclusion as far as may be necessary, of all other traffic thereon, for the transfer or transportation of troops, war material and equipment, or for such other purposes connected with the emer- gency as may be needful or desirable"
