today that railway management> are al
tempting to discredit government operation
of the railroads at the railway hearing to-
day.
Il have facts that experienced railroad
men are not permitted 10 operate a. their

The traffic congestion was blamed on
the railroad managers BY the union leaders
who said that the arrangements desired to
discredit the operation of the eight hour
law and make government operation a fail
ure.
eLe said veteran railroad men had been
replaced by inexperienced employees, that
engines had been allowed to freeze up over
night and that train crews had been called
out and kept waiting until the sixteen hour
law overlook them before being sent out
Of the terminals. Lee said he believed he
could trace responsibility for the conditions
back to four banks in New York City which
control railroad financing.
