The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-11-21

From the foregoing record" says MT. Ryan, there can be no doubt but that the statement quoted above rom the telegram under considera- ton IS wholly false, and made, either as the result of 8 lack of knowledgs on the part of the committee. which 1t should have had before making the statement, or if the committee was in possession of the undisputed facts, then made intentionally. unfairly and for the purpose of creating an er- roneous impression
 Replying to the statement in the tTear-Mage telegram When this ex- tension of about 36 miles length was built at a cost of over $115,0oO per mile, or over $4,o0o.oo0 in the az gregate," MT Ryan says: '"This state ment Is likewise absolutely false so far as the necessary inference from the context is concerned" adding that while 1t Is true that the "enttre ex- pend1ture in connection with the rail- road system amounted to about s4,- oO,000," 1t is mot true that the cost of the railroad was $115,oo0 per mile, nor any sum approaching that figure" The expenditure referred to, he de- clared, covered not only the cost of the 86 miles of main line railroad. but NASO etiA O<ApCAAOIIul cS IIlduo III COnu6C- ton with terminal facilities. yards, side-tracks and appurtenances of every kind, except rolling stock. which went into the construction of the railway, and constituted a part thereof"
 Commenting on that part of the telegram which said that the road was almost wholly built by 4,6oO soldiers furnished by the Spruce Di- vision,'' MT. Ryan says:
 The railroad was as essentially a war measure as though 1t was being constructed along the front lines in France. It was impossible to secure other labor without dtslocating com plete1y the labor situation on the coast. Protests were repeatedly made to the Spruce Production Division officials against permitting the rail- road contractors to hire civilian labor because to do 50 meant drawing from other essential in industries labor which was tnperatively required in connec- ton with necessary war activities at time when labor throughout the northwest was exceedingly scarce, owing to the operation of the select ed draft The employment of sol- dters was g necessity insisted upon by the War Department officials The soldiers were paid civilian wages. It wes only just and fair, under the cir cunstances that they should have been- They were working side by side
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-11-21

York is greatly congested- It Is the neck of the, bottle, if I may use that soon to be out of date illustra- ton. The railroad being already over burdened, the water lines serve the very useful purpose of extending the north and south railroads to New York The shippers of this entire re- zion are seriously handicapped by in adequate shipping facilities. Boats on the Sound materially help in the solu- tion Of the problem and the more of them the better for the people of the feet of which is to compel the rail- road to divorce itself from its boats and to dispose of them is in my judg- ment law in direct opposition to the best interests of the people being served by them"
 Mir. Small: If the cities of New Haven, Bridgeport. and other New England cities on the water were pro vided with municipal terminals, mod ern in every way, and there were in dependent boat lines between those cities and New York and other points, and those independent boat lines had an agreement for interchange of traf- ffc with the railroad, does not the gentleman think it would be 8 heal thier condidtion and have a better tendency to serve the public in trans portation"
 Mir Tflson: "I doubt 1t, even if the many favorable things supposed by the gentleman were true. Unfortu- nately, they are not true,. and prob ably will not be true as result of any legislation that we might enact The State of Conn ecticut has spent a million dollars to build pier at New London in order to aid in bringing to
 pass the very things the gentleman suggests, but they have not come as yet After all, the railroad is better prepared to handle the traffic than anybody else, and if we force the rail- road to sever it's connection with the boat lines, then, instead of sending it over somebody's boat line which is competing with the railroad, 1t will try to send it, if it can, through the neck Of the bottle, which is the con gested district just east of New York City,
 MT. Winslow: "I wouSd suggest to the gentleman that there are tnde- pendent lines all up and down the Sound, and they do not increase They have never been able to furnish enough boats to take the business, and even with the railroad boats they are short.''
 To this MT. Tilson replied:
 'I thank the gentleman from Mas sachusetts for his very accurate sug- gestion. The business has never been taken care of by independent boat lines, and it is the conviction as well as the fear of the people, there that it never will be. If 1t is made per naisstble for railroads under proper regulations to connect up with theit ovyn hoat lines and use Long Island Sound, it will be the very best thing possible for all the people of New England. repeat that if we put any thing into this law that will restrset the use of Long Island Sound in the way it was restricted by the Panama Canal act, 1t will be a serious injury to the people of New England

RYAN DEFENDS AIR SERVICE AGAINST CHARGES
 OF RAILROAD GRAFT

Washington, D. C.. Nov. 20.-John D. Ryan, of New York, former Second Assistant Secretary of War, Director Of Aircraft Production and Director of Air Service, today filed with the House aviation subcommittee his reply to the telegram sent to Secre- retary of War Baker by Representa- lives Frear and Magee, Republican members of that committee, from Portland, Oregon, reflecting on MT. Ryan's official acts in connection with spruce production in the northwest.
 This telegram, says MT. Ryan in his reply, contains such an interming- ling of alleged facts, hearsay, mis- statements, insinuations and prophecy, as well. that it Is somewhat difficult to make specific answer to its con- tents An examination of the mes- sage, d1scloses that 1t Is more by way of innuendo and insinuation, than by direct charges, that reflections of the gravest character, involving my per sonal integrity and official acts, are made''
 ''The telegram says Mir. Ryan, opens with what purports to be 8 short summary of the geography of the Olympic Peninsula Gin the stats Of Washington and the location of the Spruce tracts involved. The first specific references to the matters under consideration is the following:
 During the war, the Milwaukee railroad asked the railroad admins tradon for permission to extend it's line west from Deep Creek towards this Lake Pleasant timber, but was refused as not necessary war measure'"
 This statement is wholly and un- Quahhed1y false,'' says MT. Ryan, add ing that the Milwaukee road never made any application of any kind whatever to the railroad adrninistra- ton for an extension of the line re- ferred to; furthermore, that acting under the urgent necessity of reach ing the spruce tract the Spruce Pro- auction Division, not the Milwaukee railroad, made application to the rail- way administration, requesting the admtntstrat tfon to build the neceses rv line from the Milwaukee connectson This application was supported bv a letter from the Secretary of War says MT. Ryan, and upon considera- Ion by the Division of Capital Ex- pend1tures, was refused, mot becausa II was not necessary war measure p put because 1t was a necessary war measure, and therefore it was decid- Cd by the railway administration that Ino expenditure should be made hv the War Department out of inc an preparations of that department.

T|LSON APPEALS
 FOR BOAT LINES
Opposes Their Separation From New Haven Road in Asking For Protective
 Legislation.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 21.---While
 the railroad bill was up for debate Congressman Tilson of New Haven
 made a strong appeal for boat lines in connection with railroad lines, cit ing the needs of New England and what ought to be done in framing leg islation for it's protection. Said he in part:
 The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad parallels Long Is land Sound from the eastern end of Long Island Sound to New York; therefore boats running through the Sounde would be regarded as in com petition with the railroad.
