supple mentaI Report ON Railroads In
dictate Large saving Under Gov
eminent Control.

Washington. Jan. ss.--How vast
economies in the operations of the ma
tons railroads under federal control
have been put into effect is shown AN
report made public today, The re-
rort deals with the work during the
last year OF the railroad administra-
TONS division of law, headed by John
Barton Payne. It is supplementary to
former Director General McAdoo's re
port
The most striking feature of the re-
port IL the fiat declaration that under
private operation the railroads would
have sustained tremendous loss in
the first four months OF 1918. The fact
that under government operation ap
prox imately sl0a, 700, 600 loss was sus-
tained has been made the basis for at
tack on government control OF the
roads The report declares that under
private ownership the roads in this
same period would have lost AT least
siss. 900. 600. The report SAYS;
Last December I9f1} the expenses
Of the railroads were increasing with
great rapidtv. They were hedged
about In their efforts to obtain in
creased rates by the numerous and
various restrictions imposed by the
states Also DS the limitations Imposed
by the Interstate Commerce act. They
were confronted by Imperative demands
for greatly increased service and were
without machinery to insure an AMIGA
bio settlement Of those demands. They
were finding II almost impossible to
borrow money on any terms to make
the improvements which were fndis-
pensible to enable them to perform
their public service.
The operation results for the first
four months of 1918 Indicate that II
the railroads had been under private
control during that period they would
have lost in operating income, as COM
pared with the corresponding period
of the preceding wear. slss.11s.535. This
takes no account Of the wage increase
subsequently made, which. neverthe-
less. was retroactive TO January l.
These adverse conditions. coupled
with The extreme difficulty OF borrow =
ing money, would probably haze re-
suited in the failure OF some OF the
most important railroad companies in
the country TO meet their obligations
under private management"
Concerning The position the raft
roads are now In as a result of gov
ornment control the report adds:
