Compelled to Borrow Monel

cess of Victory Loan.

Washington. March 5.--Although
seriously embarrassed ny the allure
of congress TO appropriate the $780,
goo. 600 asked or a revolving fund. the
railroads will carry on a program of
improvements. This announcement
was made today by Director General
Walker d. Hines, who at the same
time. declared there would be no in
crease in freight or passenger rates
to make up the difference. MIR. Hines
ntimated that the railroad admins
tration would use it's credit to get ma
teriais and would borrow from banks
to get cash for financing He made 1t
distinctly plain that tho railroads
would not be returned to their private
owners. as some had suspected.
This unexpected result" said Mr..
Hines. speaking OF the failure OF the
senate to make the appropriation dae
20 the Republican filibuster. puts
upon me the necessity for devising
radically different methods OF dealing
with the extremely difficult situation.
Tt would be improper however. TO
minimize the difficulties of the situa-
ton. But / believe that the very diff
ticultIes themselves will result In OBJ
tanning patriotic cooperation of all
the business interests involved in
Guiding the railroad corporations and
equipment companies and other pro-
ducers of materials and the bankers
AT the moment there is no occasion to
discuss tha question of the reiinuuish-
ment OF the railways My first pur-
pose is To try to solve the problem in
other ways.
Other grave aspects of the defeat
of the railroad appropriation by the
senate were revealed today whhn
testimony given by Director General
Hines and Secretary OF the Treasury
Class before the senate COMMITTEES on
appropriations was made public. The
testimony was taken in executive SEES
sion of the committee.
Secretary Glass told the committee
failure to pass the bill would make it
necessary for the railroads TO borrow
money, and that borrowing by tbs
railroads would be bad for the next
liberty loan
Director Cen Hines declared in
his testimony that unless the bill were
passed the effect upon all industry
would be ruinous and would con-
stitute a tremendous shove" In the
wrong direction.
In explaining the effect upon the
next liberty loan Secretary Glass said
the railroads would be compelled TO
go into the open market and make
loans aggregating nearly 1000. 600, :
900 from the banks and this would
cut the market up for the victory loan
and make 1t very difficult for our
campaign"
In response to questions by mem
hers of the committee, secretary
Glass said this will be the last popu-
lar loan, but that the treasury wi
have to borrow additional money

Another Filibuster.
Efforts were made to strike out the
clause by which the conference urged
the continuance Of the war labor
board as au agency to render decisions
IN labor troubles Of public utilities.
The debate was keen and the senU-
ment for home rule was pro-
nounced. The effort of Mayor Car
son, Of jamestown. n. r.. to secure
endorsement of resolution favoring
government ownership of railroads
was filihustered TO death.
Mayor Rolph. of San Francisco
failed to secure endorsement of a
resolution savorfng the early recon-
vcning of congress. after sharp de-
bate with governor Cox. OF Ohio.
Much space was devoted In the re-
port of the committee on resolutions
to tho question of the rehabilitation
of the railroads. the report stating:
Government Ownership.
1T is not our purpose to discuss
the underlying principles OF the q Hes-
ton of government ownership. The
probabilities are that the railroads
will remain In the hands or the gov
eminent until ut least twenty -one
months after peace has been formu-
Iixed. The national government en-
,lnciates the policy OF public and
private enterprise going forward IN
such manner as to guarantee stable
prosperity IT can. therefore, give "A
practical demonstration OF this idea.
In short, the government should not
only prepare for the transportation
necessities of prosperity. but 1t should
use the railroads as the means OF
helping private industry.
