RAILROAD OFFICIALS
OPPOSED TO EXTENSION

Philadelphia, Dec. 13-About 500 rail-
road executives, representing I25 roads
and 81 per cent of the mileage of the
country, gave out formal statement last
night in which they declared that Director
General McAdoo's suggestion that tho
government retain control of the rail
roads until January, 1924. would simply
lead to delay and confusion. demoraliza-
tion Of the organization Of the roads, both
on their corporate and operating sides, and
defer indefinitely satisfactory settle
ment' Of the railroad problem.
The executives, the statement said,
have reached the conclusion that there
is sufficient time under the term Of the
present act fully to consider the railroad
situation in all It's aspects and arrive az
plan that would bc just to the country :"
The statement was given out by Thomas
De Witt Cuvlcr of Philadelphia, chairman
of the Railway Executives Advisory Com
mittec, now known as the Association of
Railway Executives The association is

connection with the return OF the railroad

OPPOSITION TO RAIL
CONTROL IN SENATE
Some Members See in McAdoo's
Proposition the Entering Wedge
of Government Ownership.

Washington, Dec. 13.--Strong OPP
position to Director General McAdoo $
suggestion that this Congress extend the
period of government control of rail-
roads to FIVE years was voiced yesterday
mt the Capitol The plan was attacked
on the floor of the Senate and also IN
interviews BY Senator's. This opinion was
EXPRESSED by Senators of both parties.
Nearly every Senator who assailed the
plan expressed the belief that 1T was but 2
forcrunner of an attempt to install
government ownership.
TO DECIDE ON POLICY.
Senator Ellison d. Smith, of South
Carolina, chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Committee, announced that
the committee would confer on Thursday
in an effort to decide on some policy. The
committee is almost unanimously OPP
posed TO Mr.. McAdoo's proposal. Most of
the Senators favor adhering to the
existing law, which allows twcnty-one
months after the end Of the war for the
return of the railroads to their owners.
Some Senators said that if any legis-
iation became necessary looking to q
further extension of government con-
troll it ought to be taken up at an cvtra
session and not crowded into this session
which has the war revenue bill before 1T.
The point was raised today that If Congress
hurried itself into passing legislation to
put the railroads under Government
control for FIVE more years, the next
Congress might upset it and throw the
oads back to the status that now exists.
OPPOSE GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

ownership upon the roads was discern

| shall not discuss what Congress ought
to do, but it seems to me we ought to
do at least this: Congress through its
committee on Interstate Commerce, ought
to take action at once upon railroad
bill. We ought to authorize the rail-
roads to coordinate all their facilities,
epqiment, terminals, route freight where
it can be routed cheapest, and the same
with passengers so as to make most
effective the entire transportation of
the United States.
"But this should be done under n
strong government control. We ought
to regulate the nature of securities OF
railroads under government control, and
we ought to authorize the commission
not only to regulate the service of the
railroads in a unified condition, but to
give the commission power to compel
them to grant that unified service.

the problem today. They prefer to allow

the matter, so that ample justice be done
in the scrambling of the roads.

problem of transportation IS the most
important Congress faces today, and 1T
is necessary that it be settled. Congress
cannot dodge it.
Senator Smith expressed himself as
opposed to government control for five
years, and declared he would fight 1T
in committee, and if necessary on the
floor OF the Senate. Senator Martin OF

voiced similar views.

later he was safely through the win
