York; Milo r. Maltbie, former public
service commissioner of New York; Oscar
T. Crosby, engineer, and Frank Trumbull,
chairman railway executives advisory
committee.
Senator Newlands apologized for being
cautious" because of his position, but
he hoped that his joint Congressional
Committee would recommend the co-ot-
dination of railway. river and ocean
transportation He said railways must
cease looking for more traffio and make
an effort to handle what they have.
Mr.. Crosby said that IL railways would
come under Federal control not all would
be sweetness" unless the atmosphere
Is clarified.
MI. IrumDuu SdlO Inal lne present rail-
way problems has convinced the public
that railways are national and not a
State issue. He said one act Of Congress
was worth twenty years OF litigation. In
referring to the Adamson bill Mr.. Trum-

the tTackwalker for instance. should not
be forgotten IL there is to be an equita-
BILE treatment OF the issue"
