If New Arrangement Does
Not Relieve Congestion,
Move Will Be Made.
POOLING OF EASTERN
LINES IS UNDER WAY
Committee Of Vice Presi-
dents Is Named to Garry
Plans Into Effect.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Government
operation OF the railroads during the
war loomed as an increasing possibil-
ity today in the minds Of officials who,
with the railroad heads. are trying to
work out plan for relief Of the east
ern traffic situation. Apparently. 1t is
conceded that II the pooling systeR
about to be uDdertaken by the rail-
roads themselves does not solve the
problem, the government will take over
the operation Of the roads as one sys-
tenn.
Committee 10 Named.
Vice presidents OF the eastern lines
met there today with members of the
railiOa board and worked on details
for q general pooling in the east OF as
much of the entire trackage and equip
ment as Is considered practicable. They
named o committee to be put in full
charge of the pool, with A. w. ThOmD-
son. vice. president OF the Baltimore 4
Ohio. as chairman. Other members are
c. r. Gray, president Of the Western
Maryland: A. 4. Dice, president of the
Philadalephia 4 Reading: r. E. Crow
ley, vice. president of the New York
Central: Elisha Lee, acting vice -presi-
dent Of the Pennsylvania lines teastl:
q. L. Pee, vice-president OF the
Pennsylvania lines lwest), and A. J.
Stone. vice -president Erie.
The committee will establish head
quarters in Pittsburgh and will sit con-
ttnuously until the present congestion
Is cleared. Its first meeting will be
held there Wednesday.
Cannot Peel Profits.
The pooling plan calls for a joint use
of tracks, locomotives. cars and en-
plOyes in the congested centers. 1t will
not be permitted to go so far, even the
railroad heads admit, as to threaten
the revenues OF any line and this is the
point advocates Of government opera
tiOn emphasize as illustrating the need
for government operation. Under gov
ernment supervision the roads could
pool their profits. which under present
circumstances would constitute vio-
lation OF the antitrust act.
A pooling Of profits would permit OF
an actual operation of all lines as one
system. and it would make little diff
ference whether one particular prop
erty paid II the roads as whole were
making money.
May Ask special Legislation.
Government operation along the
lines contemplated by officials in favor

ton from the hands Of those now ir
