 RIGHTS OF RAILROAD
Tends to Increase Pay to Roads, but McAdOO Is Expected to
 Approve Ii.

Washington, Aug. S.-Provisions safeguarding the private rights of railroad companies during government control have been inserted in the form of contract now tentatively agreed upon by the Railroad Administration and company representatives, and final adoption of the contract is ex- pected soon after Director General McAdoO returns next week from a two months vacation trip.
 A copy of the tentative agreement issued tonight by the Railroad Ad- ministration showed that prolonged negotiations during the last month be- tween railroad attorneys and repre- sentatives of the Railroad Administra- tion have resulted in adoption o1 plans which may tend to increase the compensation of the road to some ex- tent, and to reduce the danger of the governments making excess charges for improvements and extensions against any companys account.
