Mr.. H|NESEXPLA|NS
HIS RAILWAY PLAN
Tells Why He Thinks Roads
Should Be Reorganized Into
Regional Corporations.

Director General Hines today ex-
plaired to the Senate Interstate COM
merce committee why ne believed a
reorganization of the railroads into a
few regional corporations, operating
privately under close government SUI
pervision, might be worked out. This
he advocated as the ultimate solution
OF the railroad problem. and to devel-
op necessary legislation he thought a
hve-yeaf continuation of the present
control should be authorized.
Limits Number Of Corporations.
There should be not less than six
nef more than twelve of these re-
gional Operating corporations, he said,
with government representatives on
the boards of directors Of each. This
method, Mr.. Hines suggested, would
result In more competition and bet-
ter service than would be rendered
by a single national corporation, and
would give q local touch" to the
arrangements.
Regional consolidation would have
to be directed by the government and
some federal agencies also would have
to determine on plans for exchanging
securities in the consultations. All
f0auSs lnctuuing Short lines, he said,
siiould be included in the regional sys-
TEN.
Time Required to Solve Problem.
In response to senator's questions,
Mf Hines explained that he believes
the best solution OF the railroad prob
lem eoA1d not be worked out within
tWenty-one months, the present period
OF federal control. and for this reason
urged the extension. Government
management during the twenty-ene
months would be OF q temporary ma
ture. he said, and would not neces-
sarily Influence the Anal determine

ALL D. c. WOUNDED
MAY GET TRAINING
Members of Draft Boards Of
fer to Assist Disabled
Soldiers.

District soldiers, sailors and marines
who have been partly or totally dis
abled can be assisted in getting a
vocational training. which will fit
them for some sort of work, whereby
they win be able to earn living.
During this training. which is to be
given free by the government, they
will at the same time receive not less
than s65 per month pay.
Local draft board No. 5. the first In
the District to complete its work, has
volunteered to aid the disabled men
in getting this training. The officers
of the board have asked that the
names and addresses of the disabled
men. who desire such training be
sent to the board at room 426 District
building.
Employees Offer Services.
The work of the draft boards ends
some time between February Is and
March i, but the employees have
volunteered their services until
March / to aid the disabled men,
The training of the men is to be care
rted on by the federal board for voea-
tional education. Uncle Sam wants to
put all of the men who were disabled
into a good job-Ilo matter how or
where In the service he was disabled.
Men Will Earn 965- a Month.
If his disability prevents him from
returning to employment without
training and he wishes to follow a
course Of vocational training provided
by the federal board, the course will
be furnished free Of cost, and he will
also be paid, as long as the training
lasts, q monthly compensation OF not
less than $65, or q sum equal to the
pay of his last month Of active serv-
ice. Allowances will afso be paid to
his dependents. g
The federal board for vocational
education feels that there is no Cow
eminent agency more closely in touch
with the homes OF the men of the servs
ice than the local draft boards, ana
has asked the clerks to voluntarily
give their services in aiding the edus
catienal board to have the men come
to it for this training.

regulation of the meat industry.
Senator's Norris and Gronna con-
tended that the Swift method of ad-

per cent. instead of II per cent.
What "Ads" Conveyed.
Mr.. Weld said the advertisement,

out OF each 100 cents of sales went
for profit, s5 cents for live stock
and the remaining for expenses.
Swift q Co. opposed the food adj

leading, do your" continued the Ne.
