OWNERS OF RAILROAD
STOCKS DROP FIGHT
Movement to Take Contract
Into Court Squelched by ,
National Association
New York, June Z.

New YORK, June Z.
The movement inaugurated by the Ma
tional Association of Owners Of Rail.
road Securities to fight the terms of the
railroad contract proposed by the legal
representatives of the railroad admins
tration was squelched by an orerwhelm-
ing vote at Wednesdays conference at
the Grand Central Terminal. Samuel
Untermyer, counsel for the stockholders
committee, in prepared paper attacked
the policy of negotiations. said that the
proposed terms were "tyrannous and
unconstitutional" and ADVISED that the
matter either be taken up directly with
Director General McAdoo or be fought
In the courts.
As soon as he had concluded his ad-
dress, several railroad presidents spranP
to their feet and pointed out the unwis-
dom of such a course. They said
the negotiations had proceeded amicably
and should be continued in that spirit,
despite the length of time needed to
settle the matter. There was complete
| agreement as to the ends to be at
tanned, and the stockholders committee.
of which S. Davies warf1eld is president
and Samuel Untermyer counsel acqui-
esced in the resolution adopted, almost
unanimously. indorsing the efforts Of the
railway executives advisory committee
and directing their continuance.
The terms which Mr.. Untermyer called
'tyrannous" concern the powers which
Director McAdoo shall be given to alter
the so-called standard return and to di-
rect 1t into compulsory expenditures for
improvements.
Ever since the President issued his
proclamation the railroad executives
have been divided in their views of rail-
road control. Through the efforts Of
Frank Trumbull, who retired recently as
chairman of the railway executives ad-
visory committee. the number Of pro-
gressive railroad presidents who wanted
to get the best possible terms from the
Government by negotiation has been in
creasing and the number of reactionaries
has diminished. This development cul-
minated In the overwhelming vote In
favor of cooperation and negotiation at
Wednesdays meeting.
