McAdoo Advises Interstate
Commerce Committee that
Such Step is Important.
DON'T. WANT ROADS
OWNED BY GOVT.
Tells Board That Railroads
Should not 60 Back to Sys-
tenn Used Before War.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Director
GENERAL McAdoo told the senate inter-
state commerce committee today he
thought the government should retain
operation of the railroads for some
time after peace comes and not return
them to private ownership until new
and comprehensive laws had been en-
acted to govern them.N.- q
"It should be borne in mind" said
Mr.. McAdoo, "that by the scnd Of the
war the public and shippers will be
accustomed to dealing with the gov
eminent and I am convinced that a
thorough time should be given at the
end of the war before the railroads
are turned back to their owners
An entire new situation, he thought,
would be faced when peace came that
would have to be met by new and
comprehensive laws, and that it would
be injurious to the stockholders to
throw the railroads back into private
operation without first adopting COM
prehensive and rational legislation" !"
This he thought. would take time.
DO you personally believe in gov
ernment ownership" asked Senator
! Watson.
mo" replied, Mr.. McAdoo. "but I
do believe it will be impossible to
turn the roads back to their owners
under exactly the same system by
which they were operated when the
government took them over. There
must be some form of government
CONTROL"
Senator Watson asked if the rail-
roads, under government control.
would not continue to operate under
their old management except for or
ders given. from time to time by the
director general.
The fundamental principles Of op-
GRAFTON have been changed by orders
already given. Mr.. McAdoo said, and
others are in contemplation which
change entirely the routing of traffic.
Director General McAdoo denied
thatshe had anything to do with the
fuel, restriction order. He. said he ap-
proved of the. order and thought it
would be@very beneficial.
| .McAdoo indicated. however. + that, if
weather conditions improved. it: might
not be necessary for the fuel order to
remain in effect as long as indicated.
He declared the transportation stu
i alton twas being greatly improved and
that the fuel problem could be worked
out so that, his ONCE could effect a

IN TEACHERS PAY

Ernest l.. Thurston, superintendent
Of schools. and George L. Hamilton,
acting president OF the Board OF Ed
ucation, will in all probability appear
before the House District Committee
tomorrow to urge upon Congress the
necessity OF substantially increasing

ucation was held behind closed doors
yesterday afternoon. when. it is I'M
derstood, final estimates were gone
over by the board.

matter OF teachers salaries is now
out OF their hands. They are of the
opinion that they have done all pos
sible for the teachers and that the
ultimate outcome rests. with Con-
gress.
The public meeting OF the board
yesterday, which followed the long
secret conference. was one OF the
shortest ever held, lasting not more
than Ave minutes.
