RAIL WAY F|NANC|ERS
NEUTRAL TO PLUMB
Disposal of Roads Up to the
People of the Country,
Executives Say.
POOR MONEY IN 1T
Fear Labor Will Want to
Get Control of Other In
dustries, Though.
By United Press.

By United Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. S0.-That the
present leaders in railroad develop
ment and the moneyed interests which
have been backing railroads will moi
make a struggle to keep transporta-
ton lines from going permanently to
government ownership, is evident
from the attitude taken by New York
chiefs of finance and railroading.
at is question entirely up to the
people of the country" is the way
railroad executives and financiers re-
fer to the Plumb bill, providing for
joint control of the roads by labor,
capital and the government. Wall
street especially would not object, if
government ownership ended with the
railroads. However, financiers are ap-
prehensiye that once labor leaders
gain the railroads, they would demand
other industries and financial insti-
buttons las well.
Money invested in other industries
yields far better returns as a rule,
than railroad investments, say bank
The Evening Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1917-1920, 1919-08-30

ers. This may account for the fact
that much of the railroad stock of the
country is held elsewhere than in
Wall street.
If there is a fight to prevent the
railroads from going permanently to
government ownership, it must be in
Congress and by Congress, say rail-
road executives, who deny that they
have any plans for publicity cam
paigns. They say they think the rail-
roads will be much better managed
in private hands, and will give better
service, but deny that it is to the in
terest of railroaders to keep control
of the roads.
Executives are better paid and
have greater opportunities in other
industries" say railroad men, who
explain their presence at their posts
by the statement that they like their
work. However, they could mot work
for the salaries the government would
pay, they add.
The railroad men through the Asso-
citation of Railway Executives, COM
prising practically all of the railroads
of the country, have suggested to
Congress counter proposal.
The railroad executives plan pro-
vides for private ownership under
close government control of finance,
wages. rates, and routes through the
medium of Secretary of Railways,
to be a member of the cabinet of the
President of the United States.
Railroad executives and financiers
agree with the laborers that specula-
tion must be eliminated from railroad
development and that labor must get
better pay and shorter hours. How
ever, they feel that the latter will nev-
er be accomplished with governmental
control, due to slowing down of pro-
duction, unless an annual deficit is
paid by the taxpayers of the country.
