Government May Retain Railroads

The general opinion of rail roa6
men on the Pacific coast is that thu
railroads of the country will not &c
back to private ownership but that
when the war is over they will con.
inue to be run by the government
According to eastern advices the rail
-oad situation has already very
much improved since the roads were
aiken over by Uncle Sam for it seem
I'd impossible under private owner
ship for the managers to come to any
understanding among themselves as
to just how to increase the effici-
ency of their roads to the extent of
meeting the Government demands
for more cars and quicker service
1t is understood that it is the intent.
ion of the Government to discourage
passenger travel for pleasure in or
der that most passenger cars may BE-
available for moving troops etc. Or.
dinarily the Pacific northwest would
have done big tourist business next
summer but with the passenger
service reduced to minimum it is
likely that travel for pleasure will
not be very extensive in the United
States so long as the war lasts.
