Statement of President Mason.
Hon. J. j. Esch, Chairman,
Committee on Interstate and For
eiEn Commerce,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. c..
On behalf OF the National Associa-
ton Of Manufacturers I beg to sub
nit for the consideration of your hon
orable committee the views of this;
association respecting. various pro-
posals pending before you for control
and regulation of the railroads Of the
United States.
h association is composed of sub
stantially 5000 individuals, firms and
corporations engaged in every form
Of manufacture in practically every
state in the Union. Its members en1-
ploy more than two and a half mill
lion persons and constitute the larg-
est single group of industrial shippers
contributing to the interstate and for
eign commerce Of the Union. The
views here epitonized were finally re-
framed and reiterated at the annual
convention of the association, May 49,,
20 and p in New York city. with an
attendance present of more than 1900
delegates. representing the most d.
versified forms Of manufacture, in
every part of the country. 4
The association believes:
j. That the railroads should be
privately owned and operated, the
return to the ownere to be made not
plater than the period fixed by the
present statute, or sooner il remedial.
legislation essential to their success
full operation is enacted.
2. That as soon as possible and
throughout the period of government
vide amply for the execution of a
vigorous program for the adequate
upkeep and bettermcnt of the rail-
way properties, both because this is
an obligation which the government
has assumed toward the owners and
the public and because experience
