NAf SEIZE ROADS
COMMERCE BODY SAYS LINES
MUST BE coNscRIPTED AS
WAR MEASURE.
TO PLEA FOR RAISE
Communication to Congress Says Gov
eminent Must Eithe Run Roads
as One System or Have Pres
ident Operate Them.

Washington, Dec. THE American
railroad systems must be conscripted.
This is the verdict Of the interstate
commerce commission, and that body's
answer to the railroads petition for
general advance OF Is per cent in
freight rates.
In a special communication transmit
ted to congress on Wednesday the
commission declares that one of two
things must be done to put American
railroads on an operating basis that
will expedite the winning of the
war:
First-The pooling of every railroad
in the country into enc mammoth sys-
TEN, to be operated under the direction
Of some central body to be designated
by congress, and the temporary sus-
pension of antitrust laws now prohib-
iting such mergers.
Second-The taking over of the en-
tire American railroad system by the
president and its operation as war
measure.
Speedy action is demanded by the
commission. This is no time for ITEM
PORTING" the letter states.
1t is absolutely necessary, the COM
missions report says, that the rail-
roads of the country be operated as
unit. One proposal is that the rail-
roads themselves might pool their in
terests and operate them as a unit.
But the real proposal of the commits
sion is that the carriers be operated
as one road by President Wilson. The
commissions report says ii follows
that the government must finance the
railroads and extricate them from
their present entanglements.
1t adds it will be necessary, what
ever course is taken by congress, that
the government regulate issues of Sc
curities. In the event of the seizure
taking place the commission affirms
that the government should take steps
to guarantee proper return 10 all In
vestors on all present outstanding
stocks and bonds of the roads.
For many weeks government owner
ship and operation of the carriers has
been talked of but none supposed the
commission was ready to recommend
such action. The letter followed close
upon the introduction of resolution
in the house by Representative SABBATH
of Illinois that proposed that the gov
eminent take over not only the oper-
alton of the raj -oads but of coal mines
as well.
