HINES URGES COMPULSORY

NEW YORK. May s.-Compulsorv
consolidation Of all the railroads Of
the country, weak and strong, into
systems, privately owned. but oper-
ated under government regulation
was urged here tonight by Walker D.
Hines. director-G general of railroads, as
solution OF the railroad problem.
Speaking before the Economic Club
Mr.. Hines declared that unless some
cure 'as radical as the one proposed"
were adopted. postwar regulations
would prove even more DISAPPOINTING
than the thoroughly unsatisfactoryy
pre-war regulation. lie made it plain.
however. that he was speaking for
himself alone, and did not reflect the
sentiments either of President Wilson,
or the railroad administration, which
has no OFFICIAL function TO perform in
this regard"
CoupE=d with his proposal for com
weak railroads into great systems Of
relatively equal earning power Mr.
Hines urged that the new systems be
officially appraised and capitalized and
inSs be liked. thus attracting new
capital needed for development of the
roads.
Asserting that in the past there had
been no effective point of contact be-
tween the government and the rcgu-
lating bodies. Mr. Hines proposed frank
recognition Of the fact that the gov
crnment lis in effect partner" Of
the railroads by placing government
representatives OH the boards Of dircc-
tors OF the various lines and> making
some Of these same representatives
members Of The government regulating
body.

of the Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce. also addressed the club
