this session, for we must hear all the
experts that wish to testify.
"When the evidence is all In, be.
lieve the new committee can sit down |
and work out practicable solution
based on few fundamental principles. |
1T seems clear the committee does not |
favor government ownership and that |
it will not agree to the fve.year extern |
sion of government control. Private
ownership and private management
seem to be desired with some form of |
government supervision, but will be
more efficient than any we have yet
had. l think the committee, when the
new congress is assembled, will be able
to work ont a method of supervision
that will be satisfactory alike to the
owners of the roads, their employees and
the public
The senate committee hopes to finish
today with MIR. Hines, whose testimony
was. described as exceedingly helpful
in practical way. 1t will then hear
representatives of the big Four =
brotherhoods and several miscellaneous
witnesses. 1t has not held an executive
session to consider even rough draft
of new bill. Neither has the House
committee, which has been busy with
the Sims meat control bin. The Esch-
Pomerene bill, providing for amend
ments to the present interstate COM
merce act to remedy the situation, has
been referred to the committees, but no
action has been taken
Mr.. Hines yesterday finished reading
| his formal argument for. the fve-year
control plan and answered questions re-
garding the practical or executive func.
| ton of operating the roads.
| Mr.. Hines explained that he believed
reorganization of the railroads into a
few regional corporations, operating
| privately under, close government sup
ervision, might be worked out. This he
advocated as the ultimate solution of
the railroad problem, and to develope
necessary legislation he thought q five
| year continuation of the present con-
troll should be authorized.
There should be not less than six nor
more than II of these regional operat-
ing corporations. he said, with govern
ment representatives on the boards of
directors of each. This method, he
suggested, would result in more eompe-
tition aud better service than would De
rendered by a single national corpora-
ton, and would give local touch
to the arrangements.
Regional consultations would have
to be directed by the government, and
some federal agency also would have to
determine on plans for exchanging Sc.
curities in the consultations. All roads
including short lines, he said, should be
included in the regional systems
In response to senator's questions he
explained that he believed the best so.
luton of the railroad problem could
not be worked out within 81 months
the present period of federal control
and for this reason urged the extension
Government management during ths
81 mouths would be of a temporary ma
fure, he said, and would not necessarily
influence the final determination.

Illness Testimony Before Interstate
Commerce Committees of Congress
Full of Practical Suggestions for
Solving Railroad Tangle.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Hope of
getting any legislation on the railroad
question through at this session has
been practically abandoned by leaders
in both branches of. congress. Republi-
can leaders in the senate and house
already are looking forward to chance
for some constructive work on the sub
iect at the special session they expect
to be called this summer.

slde New England-Report Charge to
Prevent fraud.
The Reforfner presents today table
OF the new telephone rates from Brst-
tlehofo to points most frequently called
together with tho old rate. There has
been considerable criticism of the new
rates established by Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson, not only in Brattleboro
but everywhere, and in view of this
criticism General Manager William r.
Driver of the New England Telephone
&c Telegraph Co. has made a long and
detailed statement to the Boston Globe,
defending the new rates Some of Mr.
Driver s statements which are of spec
ial interest here are reprinted here
| with:
| The rate increases are made almost
entirely in the case of toll calls, as
distinguished from local service calls
In New England less than one-third of
the calls are toll calls, and in the coun-
/ try, only one out of every 81, approx
| mately. Moreover, of these toll calls,
4 so per cent are within the distance for
4 which the base rate is to Is cents in
i elusive, and 10 per cent are where the
/ rate is 20 to % cents inclusive, leaving
/ 10 per cent of the calls made at higher
rates, where most of the increases are
made.
/ In two ways local service calls have
been affected by the order of Postmas-
ter General Bnrleson, and these two

| Here again General Manager Driver
claims misunderstanding, in regard
to the privileges of reversing the
charge, and sending a messenger on
local calls. It is not generally known
he says, that New England has been
1.-The only section of the country where
Ithese two privileges have been al
lowed TO local calls, and that the order
abalisllng them came as part of ths
program aiming for a uniform STANDARD
system all over the country. On thi.
point New England has been privileged

Another reason for abolishing sucl
privileges, according to the eompan,
official, is their disastrous effect on tn
