HaSn Time to Pass Necessary Leg

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Behind
the exchange of correspondence be-
tween Director General Hines and the
Association of Railway executives on
the subject of railroad rates and the
situation that will arise when the roads
are returned to private ownership and
control on December 81 is a good deal
of uneasiness, not only on the part of
officials in Washington but by the host
of people directly or indirectly inter
ested in railroads.
Unless something transpires to
change the existing situation there will
be hiatus between the REIMBURSEMENT
of government control and the placing
OF the roads on what is generally stat
ed as a permanent basis. The roads
are TO 60 back at the end of the wear,
but the pending legislation for return
of the roads cannot, in the opinion of
senate and house leaders. become law
before 1920. The legislation, at least
as framed by the senate interstate COM
merce committee, provides a fixed min
imum percentage rate return to the
roads, which will automatically take
care of the rate situation as soon as
rates can be adjusted under it. Mean
time, however, the railroads will be
without government guarantee, and
unless business is mighty good will not
earn as much as they did in the three
pre-war years or as much as the gov
eminent is now guaranteeing them.
Director General Hines has definitely
declined to initiate rate advance in
the present situation and suggested to
the railroad executives that they pre-
pare now to file tariffs with the Inter
state Commerce committee, January l,
III cases where increases are regarded
as necessary to meet the situation. The
railroad executives have replied that
they cannot even file these tariffs until
the necessity for the revenue has arts
Ell and that it is up to the government
to return the roads in as sound fnan-
cial position as they were when the
government took them.
Despite this individual railroads are
busy on the subject of rates and it is
likely that tariffs providing more or
less general rate increases viii be
promptly filed. In addition there seems
ample foundation for a report that a
number of the small roads are prepared
to file petitions for receivership the
moment the government relinquishes
control and the government guarantee
is lost
This situation is being keenly
watched by the senate and house com
mittees drafting the railroad legisla-
ton, but they frankly feel that the
railroad bill or bills cannot be put
through in time to settle the questions
that will arise As result, it is posi-
BILE an appeal will be taken TO the Pres
ident to keep the roads under govern
ment control for possibly three to six
months longer
