RETURN OF ROADS
URGED BY Mr.. TESS
Tells New York Republicans
That Sherman Law Should
Be Repealed.

NEW YORK, January 4-RepeaI or
radical amendment of the Sherman
antitrust act, abolition of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and i'm
mediate return of the railroads to
private ownership under rigid gov
eminent control were urged in an ad-
dress here tonight by Representative
Simeon D. Fess of Ohio at a Non
partisan Saturday discussion" held
under the auspices of the Republican
Club.
Congress will not be disposed. Mr..
tess declared. to accept Director Cen
eral McAdoo's suggestion for five
year extension of government opera =
ton. but will insist on ''unshac kling'
business by removing unnecessary
governmental hindrances inaugurated in
the stress of war
Arguing against permanent govern
ment operation, Mr.. Fess cited the
record of Hog Island. which he de-
cfared mad cost 300 per cent over the
contract price of $4,000. 000." 1t is
equally undesirable. however, he said,
to return the roads to the pre-war
operating conditions imposed by the
sherman act or the "strangulation" of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Guaranteeing proper expansion of
the carriers, he declared, would
necessitate pooling of the systems
into one or into regional systems to
be operated as one.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-01-05
Would Demand Repeal of Law.

This" he continued, would demand
the repeal of the Sherman law. 1t
would also necessitate a national rail-
way administration board. appointed
by the President by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, to
have supervision over transportation
IN the manner the Federal Reserve
Board has over the banking enterprise
There should be regional boards artic-
u1ated with the national board. The
function of the national board would
supersede the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Before such plan can be put into
effect, Mr.. Fess said. the owners
must relinquish the claim that the
wholly for profit The brotherhoods
must relinGuish the claim that the
roads are run to employ men at good
wages. The public, or third party,
must be considered and will in the
end become the chief factor in the de-
termination of policy
