Federal Operation Of Railroads

\YJHEN the Interstate Commerce Commits
w sion recommended to Congress the
unifcaton of all the American railroads for
the period OF the war, either under govern
ment control or with government acquics-
cence. the commission expressed views upon
this question which have been repeatedly
urged i'll these columns. 1t has been evident
for weeks that the old system OF transporta-
ton was break king under the pressure OF war.
This fact. OF course. was we'll known to the
railroads themselves. They were the best
witnesses of the congestion which threatened
almost every line of business, and which even
has hampered the government in the prose-
cution Of its war program. But the rail-
roads. however patriotic they may have been
hcsitated TO admit their incapacity to meet
demands upon them. and they struggled
along for months in their effort to rise to
their responsibilities.
When they realized that they could no
longer hope 10 operate as individual proper
ties. they came out boldly with a plan OF
consolidation. under private auspices. which
is being given a trial. In many quar-
tiers this consolidation is believed to be un-
lawful. Such an opinion is held by the Inter
state Commerce Commission itself, and is no
doubt shared in by the railroad managers
But whether it violates technicalities or not,
it has been resorted TO as desperate ex-
pedient and the country is willing that it
should be tried as an experiment., if nothing
more.
Meantime. Congress is now face to face
with the whole railroad problem That body
has before it very clear and very convincing
report of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Also it will have before it the
findings of the Newlands commission, COM
posed of its own members, which has spent
nearly year investigating every angle OF the
transportation question. The President at
the proper time, will lay his views before the
lawmakng body.
What solution is TO he evolved is an un-
answerable question at this time. Three or
four definite plans will be carefully con-
sidered. Government operation OF the roads
for the period of the war is one; government
financing Of railroad needs and the legalizing
OF the pooling plan is another; and, of course.
government ownership is the last resort
Until the whole eld of possibilities has been
canTassed. it would be premature to arrive
at any fixed conclusion as to the most de-
srable action by Congress. But it is an
parent on every hand that some action OF a
definite character must he taken and taken
without delay.
