So Declares McAdoo Before
Senate Committee Hear
ing Today
PRIVATE INTERESTS FAIL

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-Return
OF the railroads to the several hun.
drcd companies which controlled
1 them before the war is impossible
IL certain important reforms are to
be preserved. Director General Nc.
Adoo declared In a statement TO the
senate interstate commerce commit.
tee today. He declared there are
three alternatives in the railroad
situation:
/. Return TO several hundred
companies controlling them before
the war.
.. Government ownership and con-
trol.
5. Reconstruction OF the railroad
map so as 20 wipe out the hundreds
OF different companies and substi.
tutc a few. under strict government
control. to combine the advantages OF
unified operations with initiative OF
private management
Some Of the Reforms
Among the reforms instituted. Nc.
Adec included: Maintenance OF the
permit system, so as to control traf.
fic at its source; maintenance OF
heavy loads for cars: pooling OF re-
pair shops: elimination of circuitous
routes; unification OF terminals; con
solidation of ticket offices. standard
ization OF equipment: utilization of
universal mileage tickets; mainte-
nance OF uniform freight classified
tion introduced by the railroad admin
istration; common time tables be.
tween important points: high demur.
rage rates and uniform rules; estab.
lish.nent of thru way billing freight
from point OF origin TO destination;
rendering unnecessary the rebuild
ing OF connecting or intermediate
routes; elimination OF the practice of
paying on mileage or per diem rental
for the use OF freight or passenger
cars OF one carrier by another; sim.
plificaton OF the old practice OF APP
portioning inter-line passenger rev.
enue; use of water routes for the re.
lease OF crowded rail lines.
Some OF these reforms can be con
tinued should the roads be returned
to private operation; others cannot" :"
said McAdoo.
Generally speaking. the cities Of
this country and the railroad traffic
that passes thru them have out.
grown the terminal facilities which
were provided many years ago. with.
out any conception OF the countrys s
traffic
McAdoo said he was not committed
TO any OF the three plans he outlined
for handling the railroad question.
In presenting his views to the com.
mittee. McAdoo said;
In December. 1917. there were
about $50 separate operating rail.
road companies in the United States,
with operating revenues Of 81 .O0O, 600
or more per year each Seventy.
three OF these companies had reve-
nues of $40 1000. 900 or more per year
each.
There were several hundred com.
panies whose respective operating
revenues were less than 81 900 900 n
