SURPRISE is GIVEN BANKERS
Samuel Unternyer Says Government
Ownership of Roads Is Prefer
able to Control,

Chicago, Sept. %. = Government
ownership at a fair price will be far
more advantageous for the government
and infinitely better and vastly more
just to the security holders than fed
eral control under the onerous condi-
tons of the present wartime contract
between the government and the rail-
roads,"
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
National Association of Railway Sc
curity Owners, thus espoused govern
ment ownership of railroads in an ad-
dress before the savings bank section
of the American Bankers association,
which opened its session at the Con-
gresS hotel.
