the short session so far as legislation
goes, the responsible committees,
those on interstate commerce, at both
ends Of the Capitol, will begin clear
ing the ground for action. Members
of these committees individually and
through q joint committee OF the
|, Senate and House win take the mat
ter up and begin investigation.
Probabilities are that before Christ
mas there will be q number of bills
introduced relating to the future Of
the roads.
Scarcely a sign can be found in
either house that 1t is. seriously
proposed to return the roads to their
former status. II Government own
ership fails to materialtze, then the
Government ownership advocates are
going to do their utmost to see to II
that the old method of private own
ership is abandoned for a new sys-
tenn, which will involve the combin-
ing of the roads into a few great
groups. The private owners OF the
roads under such a system would
find that Government control, prob
ably through the Interstate Com
merce Commission, was much more
restrictive than in the days before
the war.
Fierce Fight ssr-.
Few even OF the conservative lead
ers in Congress are going to Ego
to the mat for private ownership
in the old sense. and II the security
owners have this in mind. even with
the abltst galaxy OF lawyers to help
them, they will, find themselves up
against a stone wall of resistance.
1t is commonly believed the Ad-
ministration will support Govern
ment ownership. This means Adj
ministration Democrats will do so.
Such Democrats in Congress plus =
large body OF the more progressive
Republicans are by no means unlike
ly to command q majority vote in
