International News Service:
WASHINGTON Dec. s-The
American railroad presidents have
laid their compromise proposal be
fore Pres't Wilson 10 induce him not
TO seize the railroads. The proposal
is that the railroads be permitted TO
form voluntary operating pool and
that any railroad which does not op-
crate its line in entire harmony with
the wishes of the Washington gov
eminent and the ruling committee,
shall forthwith be seized by the gov
eminent
This proposal is made by the rail
roads to meet the objections to the
voluntary pooling plan that author
ity will not be sufficiently centralized
and that discord among the rail-
road managers will cause delay in
the war program.
1t is understood that the president
regards this compromise proposal
with at least passive favor. espec-
tally in view Of the fact that he de-
sires TO retain in working shape the
present railroad management
To Fight Consumption.
The railroads intend TO fight con-
scription TO their property by the
government harder than they ever
fought anything before in their his
tory. The executives of the lines feel
that if the federal government once
gets hold of the roads. even 10 op-
crate them as war emergency
measure, the control will continue
indefinitely:
In their fight for continued in
dependence it is quite likely that
the railroads Will air some facts
verging on public scandal to show
that they have not been given a free
hand TO handle the war traffic. For
instance. they can submit evidence,
they claim. showing that the govern
ment itself has prevented the proper
administration of priority and the
