Compensation at Same Rate
of Net Operating Incomes.
During Three Preceding,
Fiscal Years Asked-Nec-.
essary Unity Only Posi-
BILE Through Government
Operation. &,

Washington. Jan. President;
Wilson laid before congress today his
recommendations for legislation to
carry out government operation Of
railroads and administration bills to
that purpose were introduced imme-
diately in both houses.
While the president, in his address,
laid stress on the Importance OF prop
erly preserving the properties for
their return, the administration bill
specifically provided that government
control shall obtain throughout the
war And until congress shall theret
after order otherwise"
Many government officials and rail-
road men made no concealment of
their belief that the railways never
would return to private hands.
One section Of the proposed law,
considered very significant, lays q
heavy penalty on any one who inn;
pedes possession, use, operation or
control of the roads. 1t Us regarded
as precluding a strike.
In the house, the bill was intro
duced by Chairman Sims Of the In
terstate Commerce committee, which
will meet Monday to consider it.
In the senate 1t was introduced by
Senator Smith. of South Carolina. and
will be considered by the senate COM
mittee also on Monday.
To guarantee proper returns to the
roads during the period of govern
ment operation, the president recom-
mended that congress provide COM
pensation at the rate of the Same net
operating income as the roads have
received for the three preceding fiscal
years.
To provide for proper main-
tenance Of the roads and their return
to owners in the same order @As tho
| government takes then, over. the
president recommended legiylatipnk to
authorize their uHk1sp 1asb SetsT-
ment during the period Of fsderal OPP
GRAFTON. Legislation to this effect 10
ell contained. in the administration
$500, 100000 fund for government op-
GRAFTON.
Only by government operation. the
president told congress, could the
! unity necessary to the country be OBJ
tanned, and he added that existing or
ganizations Of the railroads should be
disturbed as little as possible.
The president laid especial stress on
the guarantees to the roads and their
stockholders, saying on that point:
Il need not point out the essential
, justice OF such guarantees and their
great influence and significance as ele-
ments in the present financial and IN
dustrial situation Of the country. In
deed. one Of the strong arguments for
assuming control of the railroads at
this time is the financial argument.
1t is necessary that the values Of rail-
| way securities should be justly and
fairly protected and that the large IL
nancial operations every year neces-
sary in Connection with the mainten-
ance, operation and development OF
the roads should. during the period OF
the war, be wisely related to tho
financial operations OF the govern
ment.
"No borrowing should run. athwart
the borrowings of the federal treas.
ury. and no fundamental industrial
values should anywhere be unnecces-
sarily impaired"
The president spoke as follows:

r. Any loss claim to accrue to any
road by reason Of any of these addi-
tions or improvements may be deter

president and the road. Failing this
agreement. the amount of the loss
