.BISBEE is PLACED
IN THE, DENVER
ZONE OF RAILROADS

Under orders OF the director gen
eral of railroads. working through tne
subcommittee of railway car service,
a system of zone embarsoes became
effective yesterday.
Bisbee is Dlaced in the Denver zone.
and j. NJ. Brown. receiver OF the Den
yer & Rio Grande. is made chairman
of the zone.
How Embargo Works
Under the new system, which Is
designed to prevent congestion nj any
one poin [ or gateway, any railroad
IN a zone may declare an embargo
en- any class of freight through its
district. Immediately a report OF the
embargo is transmitted to the chair
man of the zone and to CONNECTING
lines. The chairman transmits the
order by telegraph to chairmen OF
ether zones, shutting OF immediately
at shipping points all freight OF the
embargoed class going to the railroad
announcing the embargo When the
embargo is lifted similar notice l.
given and the freight may start.
It is expected that the first result
Of the system will be TO hold up ship
ments in store houses and in the
bands of shippers so that they VIII
not tie up car space that cannot be
moved.
The second result is that wnen the
ines are cleared of other classes Of
freight, the previously enlarged cars
win move rapidly through to the point
# destination. All the cars viii DO
unloaded under heavy penalty for de-
murrage.
McAdoo Can Veto
The director general has reserved
the right to veto all embargoes and
place a general embargo against all
freight in favor of a shipment rushed
through by the government, thereby
holding all freight in shippers hands
until the government freight is out
of the way.
In prOclaiming an embargo it viii
be necessary for the railroad to give
reasons for the declaration and the
chairman of the zone has the right
to cancel the embargo. but it is not
expected that this will be done.
In connection with the embargoes
heretofore established it is reported
that the ccngested railroads in the
east have shown a reluctance TO carry
copper between Arizona points and the
big refinery and reduction works in
the east No actual embargoes have
been placed, however.
It was explained yesterday that I'M
der the old system of embargOes a
railroad might declare an embargo on
certain class o. freight I his con
Meeting lines. The latter would hold
back freight and notify its connections
BY mail. BY the time il had been
transmitted throughout the United
States. freight would be cOngested
throughout the country. In the aggre-
gate the number of cars held in the
Yards amounted to thousands in some
cases, leaving some districts without
cars and other districts with loaded
cars awaiting orders to move.

WORK ON RAIL BILL
STARTS TOMORROW
House Committee Will Learn
Transportation Finance
From Experts.
MAY HEAR Mr.. McAD00

The House committee on interstate
and foreign commerce tomorrow VIII
meet to take up the administrations
bill calculating the taking over by the
government of control of the railroads.
The main feature OF the bill is the
guarantee to the roads of annual earn
ings equal to the average of their net
income for three years prior to June
80, 1917. This is the section that is ex-
pected to occasion the most study and
scrutiny.
Chairman Sims of the committee antic-
ipates the necessity of holding some
hearings on the bill-not hearings in
the sense of inviting discussion OF
academic questions of government own
ership and all that sort of thing. but
to afford opportunity for government
experts to explain fully the operation
of the measure if enacted into law.
Director General McAdoo will be in
vited to appear. IL he cares to come
before the committee. and the mem
bers of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission will certainly be expected to
elucidate the several sections Of the
bill.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-01-06
What Is Net Income?"

Already the question is being asked
by members of the committee and OF
the House: What is net income?'
The commission has laid down gem
eral definition of net income. but the
question may be complicated in this
case by the wording of the bill itself.
For instance, it is provided that said
net railway operating income for the
purposes of this act shall, as TO car
riers making returns to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. be computed
from such returns. excluding. however.
debts and credits arising from the ac-
counts called in the monthly returns,
leased road rents and miscellaneous
rents: provided, however. that no fed
eral taxes in excess of the taxes as
sessed during the year ending June 30,
1917. shall be charged against revenue
in computing such standard return.
Any net railway operating income in
excess of such standard return shall
be the property of the United States.
The amount of such standard return
as accruing during said period of three
years shall he determined by the In
terstate Commerce Commission" etc.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-01-06
Expect Volley of Questions.

The committee. it is said, desires full
explanation of the intricacies of COM
putting the net income.- being assured that
a volley of questions will be directed
against the managers of the bill when
il comes on the floor of the House. 1t is
expected that the commission will be pre-
pared to illuminate all phases Of this
question. as the opinion is held generally
at the Capitol that the Interstate Com
merce Commission really started the
movement which eliminated in the TAX
ing over the roads in its recent special
report to Congress recommending govern
ment ownership in effect
Railroad sentiment as to the bill is ex
peeted to develop at the hearings Taken
by and large. members of the House are
inclined to view the Presidents address
OF Friday as holding out highest en-
couragsm to the railroads as to the
maintenance of the value of their securi-
ties. the upkeep OF the roads and the gen
eral prosperity of the railroad business
under government control 1t is pointed
out that the President gave assurance
that the properties would be handled in a
way to promote their welfare and by no
means to their detriment.
