Rail Situation
Is an Outrage,
Says Cillett
New Speaker Is Indignant
That Congress Is Not
i'm Session to Correct
Evils That Nex the Public

Frederick II. Gllett. Of Springfield,
Mass, the new Speaker Of the House
Of Representatives, at the Plaza last
night, said it was an outrage upon the
people Of the United States that Con
gress is not now in session and Civ
by the governments gross mismanage
ment Of the railroad situation. The
railroads and the shipping situation.
in the judgment Of the new Speaker,
demand immediate treatment in order
to avert serious and widespread en-
barrassment.
~ do not undertake to speak for
the Republican party, or for Mr.. Ford
ney or Mr.. Mondell, or other leaders
who will have important duties in the
new House." said Mr.. Gillett. "Speak
ing as the representative of one New
England district. | am free to say that
| consider it an outrage that Congress
is not now in session, giving it's best
thought to the chaotic railroad situa-
tion. The shipping situation is per-
haps equally important.
Tribune Editorial Quoted
''I noticed, as thousands of business
men must have noticed, in The Tribune
editorial Sunday that the Interstate
Commerce Commission reports the net
income from the railroads decreased
Ia per cent for February, as compared
with the same month last year. The
rates are up 25 per cent. and the SER
vice seems to be poorer than ever.
According to the figures published, the
deficit for the first two months Of the
calendar year is STA 100000, while the
estimated deficit for the fiscal year is
$3.50, 900 900.
81 also note that on these figures
the average family is paying S74 a year
for the luxury of government opera
tion of the railroads. That is why
say it is an outrage that Congress is
not now in session giving its best
thought to q condition which in ordi-
nary circum stances would ftly be
characterized as ruinous.
Return of Roads Advocated
CAS- l said in The Tribune three
weeks ago, as soon as Congress is
called together. we should provide for
the return, as soon as possible, of the
railroads and the telegraph and tele-
phone systems to their private owners
under a modified method of public con-
troll, in order that the public con-
venience may be subserved, that these
utilitits may be placed upon self
supporting basis. investors protected
and initiative retained
at would be presuming for me to
say just what legislation shall or
shall not be enacted. If l have in
fuence in legislation, it will be
exerted to counsel and suggest sane
and progressive action according to
the best traditions of the party which
gave to the nation, Lincoln, McKin-
ley and Roosevelt. Personally ] am
in favor of a protective tariff measure
which will provide more abundant
revenue and prevent an inundation of
foreign goods produced by cheaper
labor. Upon the President and his
party should be placed the entire re-
sponsibility for its veto, at time
when manufacturers need stimulation
and men and women in great numbers
need employment"
Speaker Gillett will be the princi-
pal speaker at a dinner of the Home
Market Club in Boston on April II.
