From he above yu wtlls see tina it is h factory's intention

rs TO help the business. which under
the present conditions will be cramp-

PREDICTS &C. WILL
GIVE RAILROADS RELIEF
John SHELTON Williams Declares
Present Rates Are insufficient
to Maintain Credits.

John SHELTON Williams, controller
Of tho currency. In Q formal statement
yesterday declared that present railroad
rates are insufficient to maintain the
credits of the roads and predicted that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
win grant the revision now being asked
by the roads.
Basing his statement on the fact that
national banks hold great quantities
Of railway securities which have been
steadily depreciating, Mr.. Williams
said:
when the railroads shall have laid
frankly before the commission the facts
and figures which will show so conclu-
sively the extent to which the rates
tain the credit of the roads and to en-
able them to perform efficiently their
public functions under the present un-
usual and extraordinary conditions. we
have no right to doubt that the decision
which the commission will reach Will
be one which its superior knowledge
and painstaking study of the whole sit
uation will in every way justify. and
that the relief needed Will be promptly
accorded"
-If a way cannot be found now to
reduce promptly the prices of ma
terials and the cost of labor to a
normal basis. and this for the present
is hopeless. it seems clear on the facts
before us that revision and modifica-
tion of the whole fabric of rates to
meet the new conditions has become
imperative.
IF the relief which is manifestly re-
auired at this time is granted I believe
that confidence in our railroad securi-
ties will be revived and a basis estab-
lished for new financing and for pro-
ceeding with new development and
construction work which Is now so
greatly needed. The benef1cent inf1u-
ence and effect of such action would
be felt instantly throughout the entire
country
