ADVOCATES FEDERAL
OWNERSHIP OF ROADS
Vanderlip Narrows Cure to
One Of Two Actions.

Washington. Nov. 16--Frank a.
Nanderlip, New York banker and
chairman Of the governments war
savings committee, and Paul NJ. War
burg, vice governor of the federal re-
serve board. called by the interstate
commerce commission today as expert
witnesses in the Is per cent advance
rate case, testified that radical action
was necessary to remedy the railroad
financial situation.
One of two things must be done to
meet the situation: Either the gov
eminent must acquire ownership, or
some action taken to restore conf
dence in their securities. said Mr. Van
dcrlip. Granting the Increase the
roads request, he insisted, would act
only as a poultiee and not affect a
cure.
In their arguments for the increase,
Mr.. Vandcrlin said railroad men them
selves failed to see below the surface
and view what he believed to be funda-
mentally wrong--the effort to force
the two regulatory principles, preven-
ton of combinations and fixing rates,
to work smoothly together.

Contraction

The general slowing up and steady
ing of business transactions was evil
denced during September in smaller
number of new interpretations, a de-
crease in corporate financing, contract
ing building operations, a lessening in
pig iron production. decline in the
untitled tonnage of the Steel Corpora
ton, a much smaller copper production,
smaller anthracite shipments. smaller
coke shipments, an increase IN stocks
Of crude petroleum and numerous
other prime factors. That these de-
clines do not indicate unfavorable
business contraction is proved by in
creased bank clearings, decreased bust
ness failures. heavier foreign trade.
larger stock and bond sales. increasing
railway equipment orders. larger rail
road gross earnings, more serious
shortage of freight cars, a heavier pro-
duction of petroleum and an increasing
movement OF grain. Franklin National

The October statistics of pig iron
production are decidedly encourage
ing. There is urgent need for all
the products Of iron which can be
fabricated, but despite strenuous
efforts to keep output up to capacity
shortage Of coke and inadequacy of
the labor supply caused a steady
shrinkage in production in the first
five months following our entrance
into the war. Last month the ten
dency was reversed, the average
daily output being 106,550 tons,
against 1914, 465 tons in September.
To a certain extent the improve
ment may have been seasonal, since
the October output is normally
larger than that of September, but
it is worth noting that the seasonal
improvement due in September
failed to materialize, and instead
there was a decrease. The pros
poets for a further gain this month
are bright, because ten more fur
naces were in blast on November
than on October /, and the addi-
tional capacity amounts to nearly
1000 tons a day.
