PLANS COMPLETED
TO HELP RAILROADS
War Finance Corporation to
Advance Cash Requirements
of April First

Washington, March 26-Arrange-
ments for making advances to railroads
to meet their April l requirements have
been completed by the war finance cor
poration, the railroad administration
and the railroad executives committee,
it was announced today by the finance
corporation.
Railroads now are filing applications
with the corporation for loans, in lieu
of those which would have been OBJ
tanned from the railroad admnistra-
ton except for the failure of the re-
Nolving appropriation. The form of GER
tficate of Indebtedness to be given by
the railroad administration and in turn
offered the war finance corporation as
collateral has now been finally approved.
LAS each application is presented to
the war finance corporation" said a
statement from that agency today, 1T
will be considered by the directors of
that corporation upon its merits and in
strict compliance with the provisions of
the war finance corporation act as to
adequacy of security, margin Of security
and in all other respects"
The corporation also explained that
the policy of making loans to railroads
was not essentially different from that
pursued before the financial predica-
ment created through the failure OF
Congress to replenish the railroad ad-
ninistrations fund.
1.-THE policy which is now being pur'
sued in loaning funds for the operation
of railroads." said the state 7lent. rs
entirely in line with the original inten-
ton Of Congress, as expressed by tht
statute, and also in line with the set
tied procedure of the finance corpora
ton throughout the course of its briei
history.
The number of applications from rail-
roads fer advances have been greatly
augmented by the failure of Congress tc
provide the appropriations asked by the
director general just before the adj
journment of Congress-"
Some members of Congress have
charged that the corporation was seek
ing to circumvent congress by provid
ing funds which Congress itself haG
! failed to authorize.

NEW COAL-CARRYING ROAD
Western Maryland and B. & o.
Build Line in Fayette County

Pittsburgh. March 26.--At a cost of
more than $l.000,000, the Western
MARYLAND Railroad, in conjunction with
the Baltimore and Ohio, will put a stand
ard gauge line through the southern
end OF, Fayette County, to connect up
with the fast growing West Virginia
coal and coke development. Two corps
of civil engineers are completing the
surveys. Under the direction of Chief
Engineer. Dixon, of the Baltimore and
Ohio field force, options have been Sc
cured on several mountain timber tracts
for railroad ties and other CONSTITUTIONAL
needs.
At least six hundred men will be
furnished employment in this work
The Fayette yards near Connellsville
Pa. are already equipped to handle the
traffic at that end of the new line, and
construction plans call for large new
yards located at Fairchance, six miles
south of Uniontown.
More than two years ago the Western
Maryland and Baltimore and Ohio rail-
roads entered into an agreement giving
