and socialism, were denounced today at

Minnesota, who said the hope of the
country for the future was in the elec-
ton of a republican president. He ALSO
spoke of the activity of the Nom

said the sympathy of the democratic
party had been with the socialistic
organization.

necessary funds by popular subscription.
The character of the memorial Will be
decided upon by a special committee, OF
which w. B. Thompson, of Yonkers,

of the committee will be named by
Chairman Hays later.
Members of the committee appiauded
speeches attacking the democratic ma

termed its socialistic tendencies and de-
manding that the railroads be returned
to their owners without unnecessary de

majority of the addresses.

State Commissioners and

Shy at Plan of Secre-
tary Of transportation.
Regional Rate Commis-
sions Proposed, to Act
With Present Federal
and State Bodies.

Washington. Jan. 10.-Attitudes or
shippers interests, railroad securities
owners, and state commissioners towards
railroad legislation became known in part
here, today, in advance of their presen-
tation by representatives of the various
interests to the senate interstate com
merce commission. next week.
The shippers oppose establishment OF
secretary of transportation, the federal
incorporation of railroad companies. as
advocated by railway executives, and
propose the following:
Rates sufficiently liberal to guarantee
proper maintenance of railways and
ample returns to security holders: gov
ernment regulation by the interstate
commerce commission: common use OF
terminals and other facilities: cooper
alton among railways to promote effici-
ency OF service, but with pooling and uni
fication agreements subject strictly to
The Interstate Commerce commission and
restoration of the roads TO private
ownership as soon as remedial legisla-
ton has been enacted.
Oppose Five-Year Control.
Railroad security owners oppose the
five-year extension of government con-
troll, and urge return of the roads to
private management after enactment of
legislation paving the way for partial
MITIGATION. They are opposed also to the
executives plans for creating a secretary
Of transportation and for federal in
corporation Of railroads.
Among the proposals of the state rail-
road commissioners are that state gov
ernments should retain their authority
ever intrastate rates and regulation,
that regional rate commission should be
created to assist the Interstate Com
merce commission, and that the federal
commission and state commissions CO.
