SHIPPERS WILL ASK
|. c. c. RULE AGAIN
Copyright. 1919.
By the Tribune
ASsociation.)

Shippers win demand that the
powers OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the courts as to rail-
road matters be restored without de-
lay when Congress convenes.
This was asserted today by Cliff
ford Thorne, Of Chicago, counsel tor
a number of leading organizations
Of shippers, including the National
Live Stock Association.
Efforts were made last session to
secure such legislation, but they were
not successful. The shippers are dis
satisfied with large increases in rates
which have been imposed on them
and with some of the other rulings of
the Railroad Administration and are
anxious to have the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the courts
resume their old authority.
The powers of the commission ana
the courts as to railroad matters
should be restored by Congress as
soon as IL meets" said Mr.. Thorne.
II sincerely hope this will be done
After that, a permanent policy as 20
the roads should be worked out.
Apart from international matters,
the solution Of the railroad problem
is the foremost problem which con-
fronts the country" said Mr.. Thorna.
'Tt will require brains and thought
and study to work out the right solu-
tion. There are many things to be
considered. One is the question Of
whether the Government should
guarantee a return TO the roads
Much is involved in this matter and
II will require careful study. II the
Government guarantees a return to
the roads, their securities will become
practically as good as Government
bonds and, in fact, practically will De
obligations Of the Government"
