An affection confined to women must

UNIFIED RAILWAY
SYSTEMS URGED
! BY CUMMINS.
Pomerene Also Discusses
Possible LIBERALIZATION of
Transportation Lines.

Two Of the best-informed men upon
railway management In the Senate
expressed their opinions yesterday re-
garding government control of the
| railways. These were Senator Cum
minis of Iowa and Senator Pomerene
of Ohio, both members of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. Senator
Cummins also is a member of the joint
Congressional committee, or New
lands committee" which Is about to
resume its exhaustive investigation
| into the present condition of the rail-
ways.
II think that under government con-
troll the railways should be allowed to
operate their systems as a unit"
said Senator CummiEs. "I think that
privilege is duo them. The investiga-
ton now being conducted by the Con-
gressional committee relates to the
railroads in normal times. 1t is prob
able that any recommendations made
by the committee would not be applied
until after the war"
Urges Fair Opportunity.
Senator Pomerene discussed the
present committee of vice presidents
now operating the eastern railroads
as one system in an endeavor to re-
lieve freight congestion.
81 think this committee should GER
tainly be given fair opportunity to
demonstrate what it will so." said he
II believe the railroad men of today
are patriotic and will do their best to
help the country in time of war
Railroad executives are very different
today from what they were twenty
five years ago. 1 have high regard
for Daniel Willard and Judge Lovett.
THE operating committee is a quasi
governmental body anyway. Under
the new statutes the President, l
think, can operate the railways.
Doubtless from this very committee
would be chosen the men he would
draft for this operation
For Pooling Receipts.
The subject of pooling receipts is in
teresting Senators and Congressman
One Western Senator said he be-
lieved Congress would be willing to
pass legislation allowing pooling be-
tween certain systems which had mu-
tual agreement for moving war ma
terial
This particular pooling would be be-
tween a railroad taking loaded cars
south and a parallel road CARRYING
them north. The system handling the
loaded cars would receive greater re-
celpts than the other system. But IL
they were in agreement their receipts
might be pooled and the profits equal
ned.
