i, - mended. g..

Washington, Dec. Government
control in operation of the railroads
of the United States during the war
is recommended in a special report
to congress by the interstate com.
merce commission.
The commission regards such a step
as the only solution to the freight con.
gestion of the coutry and the rail-
road crisis.
After reciting conditions, the COM
mission says:
"The alternative is operation as a
unit by the president during the Pc
Rod of the war as a war measure un-
der the war powers vested in him
by the constitution and the powers
which have been or may be conferred
by congress-"
Rate Increase Insufficient.
Higher rates, Chairman Hall point
ed out, would not enable the lines to
obtain needed new capital.
The majority report, written by
Chairman Hall, said: IN our opin.
ion the situation does not permit of
temporizing. All energies must be de.
voted to bringing the war to sue
cessful conclusion and to that end it
is necessary that our transportation
systems be placed and kept on the
plane of highest efficiency. This can
only be secured through untf1cation
of their operation during the period
