likelihood that government control
with government ownership would fol-
low. He declined to express his own
views on government ownership of the
railroads. other than to refer to
speech he had made several years ago,
In which he said that he was opposed.
through education and upbringins. to
government ownership. but that like
other men be was being made to real
Ire that the greatest good must be OBJ
tanned In whatever way II may.
The present control and operation
Of the railroads by the government"
said Mr.. Garrettson. is confined to tho
period OF the war by the legislation
giving the President authority TO take
them over. There would. Of course.

grsss IL the government is to maintain
permanently Its control of the roads
and to purchase them. II the govern
ment does not take the roads over per-
manently. then they must be returned
to private operation. But II is matter
Of history that in movements Of this

Samuel Gompers' View.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. in reply
to . question as to what the attitude
OF organized labor would be upon the
Presidents proclamation taking over
the control OF the railroads, said:
I'm my judgment there will be whole-'
hearted support of the Presidents posi-
ton and his action. The separate own
ership of the various railroads and their
competitive existence has shown that
they cannot AFFORD the best Adaptable
ity to do the essential work OF the gov
eminent during the tremendous needs
In this war.
II know that the Representatives Of
the railroad companies did their level
best to afford the fullest possible serv-
Ice to meet the needs of the governs
ment But due to causes I have men-
toned and because of their separate
interests and the laws which hedge
them about. they have not been cap-
able of giving the cooperative and
comprehensive service which is SO es-
ssntial now and which the Presidents
order will accomplish.
I'm addition to efficiency for military
purposes, ii will be time-saving and
will give opportunity for concentra-
ton of effort and In the long run will
prove expeditions and economical"

PUBLIC NECESSITY REQUIRES
ACTION, PRESIDENT EXPLAINS

conducted at a greater advantage.
Investors in railways securities may
rest assured that their rights and
interests will be as scrupulously
looked after by the government as
they could be by the directors of the
several railway systems.
Immediately upon the reassem-
bling of Congress / shall recommend
that these definite guarantees be
given: First. of course, that the rail-
way properties will be maintained
during the period OF federal control
In as good repair and as complete
equipment as when taken over by the
government and. second, that the
roads shall receive a net operating
income equal in each case to the aver
age net income of the three years
preceding June 80, 1917; and I am en-
tirely confident that the Congress Will
be disposed in this case, as in others.
to see that justice Is done and full
security assured to the owners and
creditors Of the great systems which
the government must now use under
its own direction or else suffer sert-
Gus embarrassment.
Secretary McAdoo, Director.
.The Secretary of War and I are
agreed that, all the circumstances
being taken into consideration, the
best results can be obtained under
the immediate executive direction of
the Hon. William g. McAdoo. whose
practical experience peculiarly fits
him for the service and whose au-
thority as Secretary of the Urea sury
Will enable him to coordinate, as no
other man could. the manp financial
interests which viii be involved and
which might, unless systematically
directed, suffer very embarrassing
entanglements.
1.-THE government of the United
States is the only great government
now engaged in the war which has
not already assumed control OF this
sort. 1t was thought to be in the
spirit of American institutions to at
tempt to do everything that was
necessary through private manage
ment. and if zeal and ability and
patriotic motive could have accom-
plished the necessary uni6cation of
administration it would certainly
have been accomplished; but no zeal
or ability could overcome insupera-
BILE obstacles, and I have deemed it
my duty to recognize that fact in all
eandor, now that it is demonstrated
and to use without reserve the great
authority reposed in me. great
national necessity dictated the ac-
ton. and I was, therefore, not at
liberty to abstain from it.
