HINES OUTLINES HIS
RAILROAD SCHEME
Would Consolidate All Lines
Into IL to 90 Systems With
Federal Regulation.
PROMPT ACTION NEEDED
Plan Must Attract Private
Capital and Protect the
Weaker Roads.
PROMPT ACTION NEEDED

WASHINGTON. June s.-Director-Gen-
eral Hines outlined to the American
Short Line Railroad Association conven-
ton here to-day his plan for a perma-
nent solution Of the railroad problem
under which the railroads would be con-
solidated into from twelve to twenty
great systems under Government resu-
lation sufficiently definite to attract pri-
vate capital and affordinK protection to
the weaker roads, 49,.
Tho only alternative to such regula-
ton, he declared. would be public own
ership. for under airy other plan private
management would be doomed to ulti-
mate failure.
The Director General said that under
the plan OF consolidation every system
must be made UP Of some Of The strong
er roads and some of the weaker ones,
DO Of highly competitive character and
have Government representation on its
directorate.
"a workable basis on which q proper
return OF the valuation of the railroad
properties could be ascertained was es-
sential, Mr.. Hines declared, adding that
excess earnings should be divided be-
tween the railroads and the Government,
Earnings put back in the properties, he
asserted. should not form the basis for
an increa sed valuation. "
Prompt action by Congress in provid-
ing for the future OF the railroads was
necessary. In Mr.. Illness view, as tho
present situation causes the public to
suffer.
Demand that railroad employees SUBJ
NIT to Government regulations as do
the compa niles was made by President
Bride NJ. Robinson to-day at the con-
vention here OF the American Shore
Line Railroad Association.
while Government regulation Of the
carriers is expanded to the most minute
details" he said. 'the employees are
left to exercise their own sweet will,
which they often do in a most auto
cratic way. Wage demands have alb
sorbed already the $1,000. 900, 900 rate
lie"
In view OF the reckless extrava.
gance" Of the Government In all its bust
ness, Mr.. Robinson said the demand
Tor railroad economy was ridiculous.
He denounced the claim OF $1ls,O00, 600
saved in the first year of Government
operation as unjustified, and charged
that Government operation caused a def,-
CIT OF 100000 every day In the first
sixteen months of Government control,

START ON FOREIGN
CREDIT CAMPAIGN
Committee to Develop Plans
to Coordinate Resources of
United States.

Initial steps in the direction of Co
originating the financial and industrial
resources of the United States for ex-
tending credit to European countries
were taken yesterday when an informal
meeting of twenty executives from the
largest national banks, trust companies
and private banking houses in this city
was held at the Offices of ]. p. Morgan
Co, The meeting resulted In the APP
pointment OF a subcommittee Of Ave,
charged to develop coordinating plans
20 set similar committees at work In
other large cities OF this country and
report to the larger committee
IL +. Dawson OF the Morgan Arm.
VINO presided at the meeting, explained
tEat the bankers were engaged merely
IN creating machinery necessary to ex =
tend the credits, which will be required
TO SET European countries on their feet
and get them back to normal industrial
ana financial conditions. He said that
large amount Of preliminary work
must be undertaken and that attempts
were being made to create a nucleus to
form the background for coordinatinR
the financial and Industrial resources Of
the United States Bankers in Chicago.
ST Louis, San Francisco, Boston and
iplspurg, not 10 say other important
financial centres, will be asked to take
action similar to that taken yesterday
in this city.
Vital to the success of the plan to
make America the foremost creditor ma
ton In the world. according to Mr.. Davi-
son. Is the cooperation Of all bankers and
industrial executives. First there must
be ascertained the amount Of credit re-
CURED by European countries In every
industry and the equitable amount that
can be granted to every country for
every industry. Then the bankers must
aim at an equitable distribution of op-
portunity to participate in the credit
extension among banks and industries.

GOLD COMING FROM CANADA.
CONSIGNMENT of s1s.Ooo.Ooo From
Britain to Morgan on Way.

j. p. Morgan & Co. yesterday were
ADVISED that a shipment of gold totalling
SiS'O9O.OO0 Is on its way to America from
canada, consigned to them by the Brit
ISL Government. All sorts Of runners
were afioat concerning the movement of
tbo.OoO.000 in gold from Canada as a
measure to help exchange, but at the
Morgan offices 1t was learned that the
total movement is $4,000 900, and that
the money is consigned directly to them,
being payment of indebtedness on the
part OF the British Government.
SO far as the resumption II ship
ments OF gold to this country by Eng
land Ia concerned It has been expected
Tor some time that such a step would be
taken. But so far nothing has occurred
TO indicate a renewal of the gold move-
ment stopped when this country entered
the war. A long time ago the British
chancellor OF Exchequer announced that
Great Britain would attempt to meet
her obligations here In the future by d.
rect settlement. The general belief in
banking circles Is that Great Britain
has large store of gold In Canada for
shipment to the United States when the
time shall be ripe.
