Powerful financial interests. alarmed over
the credit position of the railroads. are
adding the weight of their influence to the
movement The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has indicated that it will entertain
a new petition. In all probability it will
grant substantial relief TO the carriers If
they can show that such action will be
justified.
There is considerable discussion here of
the suggestion that the Government sell
$500 900 bonds and thus raise funds TO
strengthen the finances of the railroads
The companies are not heartily in favor Uf
this plan. because they realize that such
step would mean an early coming of Gov

road managers Of the country declare they
must have relief shortly either in the form
Of increased rates or direct governmental
