Daniel Willard Suggests Plan
of Railway Consolidation
''Along Present Lines"

Daniel Willard. president OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, continuing testimony today be-
fore the Senate interstate commerce
committee, proposed ultimate con-
solidation of all the country's rail
systems along present lines. as an
alternative to the plan for establish
ing regional systems on geo
graphical basis.
Mr.. Willard submitted a map to
show how competition would be pre-
served under his plan, with the big
roads absorbing the weaker ones
Under the proposed regional system
he said. competition would be elimi-
mated in each region and service
would suffer
Funds for purchasing the small
roads should be provided. the com
mlttee was told, from excess earnings
OF the prosperous ones, which other
wise would go to the government.
In this way, Mr. Willard said. the
big roads would be induced to pro-
mote the plan. and he predicted that
"itHtH HNe years thefe "OuIu remain
not more than forty systems. At pres
ent, he pointed out. there are 162
railroads earning more than $1,000, ,000
year.
Replies to Questions.
In reply to questions of Senator
Pomerene of Ohio, Mr.. Willard said
II would not bring about this con-
violently. but simply would
permit the roads to carry it out by
removing present restrictions.
IF Congress accepts extension of
federal control until 1924" said Mr..
Willard. "it is accepting government
ownership under a different name"
Explaining his idea of the functions
of a Secretary of Transportation. Mr..
Willard favored making the office
largely advisory, leaving administra-
tion and management Of the railroads
to existing agencies.

WAITING ATTITUDE SEEN
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. February 19-Several plans
for a solution Of the Russian problem
have been laid before the supreme
council and the members now have had
opportunity to consider them more or
less fully.
Only one of these plans involves the
use of force. 1t is based on the idea
that the reluctance of the entente
powers and the United States to defy
socialist opposition to the use of their
armies against what some of them re-
gard as only ''Workingnens gov
ernment' can be met by recourse to a
volunteer army. 1t is held that no
difficulty would be encountered in
raising almost any desired number of
soldiers for a Russian campaign from
the millions of men now being dis
charged from the armies of the en-
tente and Anne RIGA.

FOREIGN CREDITS

Business Waiting for Stable
Conditions to Be Resumed

EMPLOYERS UNCERTAIN

Present conditions of labor unrest
and unemployment in the United
States are held to be due to the wait
ing attitude Of business firms and
employers for foreign credits to be
established on a stable basis, in the
opinion of labor department officials
and observers in Washington and
New York in close touch with the
labor situation.
Refusal OF large private employers
to go back to prewar concessions in
the matter OF immediate delivery of
goods promised, for example, is be-
heved by those in touch with the sit
uation te have a dilatory effect on

Uncertain Attitude flinders.
An official of the Department of
Labor, returned from New York to-
day. ascribes failure of large employ

war force of employees to an uncer-

This has not been done to date,
however. Sporadic efforts have been
made by manufacturers and industrial
leaders to employ returned soldiers
and others in an effort to boost pro-
duction and reduce unemployment,
but these efforts are not convincing
enough to other employers TO make
them cast aside their attitude of con-
servatism and resume old conditions.
Notwithstanding the urgent need OF
conservation in virtually all lines
urged by many government ohciaiS,
all are agreed that there is an i'm

Urges Loosened Money Market.

Frank T. Miller. director of the d.
vision OF public roads and construc-
tion development of the Department
of Labor. has for the last three months
been spreading the doctrine of
loosened money market through re-
duction Of the area Of Unemployment.
The 81, 1000. 000,o 900 building program of
the department is held to be one of
the biggest potential factors in re-
ducing unemployment. but thus far
little encoura cement has been offered
by private and government builders.

Effort in 1900 Plants.

Government committees formed in
more than 100 industrial plants in
this country are held to be an i'm
portant factor in reducing unem-
pIoyment, but their activities are con-
fined largely 10 their own shops, and,
although they carry weight with the
employers, so far they have been
unable to induce them to cast off the
policy of conservatism, These com
mittees, formed among the employees
of Industrial establishments during
the war, had major part. about
which little has been written or
known, in preventing strikes and un-
rest among employees.
Their members circulated quietly
among the men and their influence is
said to have had great weight in on
setting propaganda and the activities
of alien enemies and those of bolshe-
visit tendencies This enabled the
government to keep in direct touch
with the workers in the shops and
factories and to have its agents in
constant contact with the men them
