McADoo's BLUFF.

Unless Congress Immediately enacts
legislation continuing Government con-
troll of the railroads for period of five
years Mr.. McAdoo has threatened to
send advice by wireless to Mr.. Wilson to
turn them back to their private owners
at once. 1t is part of the Democratic
plan that the public, particularly the
stockholders and employees OF the roads,
should throw up their hands in horror
at Mr.. McAdoo's suggestion and fever.
ishly write their Senators and represen-
tatives in Congress to get busy on the
fve-year legislation. The chaotic con-
dition IN which the roads now are, with
their immense burdens of increased wages
and tremendous equipment bills to meet.
is enough to strike terror to their owners
when they are suddenly threatened with
the withdrawal of the financial support
Of the United States Treasury.
But let US study the situation, and see
if the McAdoo threat is not a case Of
pure bluff, The first and immediate re-
suit of throwing back the roads to their
owners would be to send them into the
hands OF receivers. The prime duty Of 4
receiver is to reduce expenses, and IN as
much as there is hardly a road in the
country that would find it possible to
meet the enormous drains upon it with
its present operating income, drastic
curtailments would 90 into effect at once.
The shipping and travelling publicwould
be the sufferers from reduction in the
number Of trains, the impossibility Of
collecting judgements for damages, the
prompt cessation Of all improvements
that may be under way, and loss of other
benefits customarily extended to their
patrons BY solvent roads. Dividends,
Of course, would cease at once, and the
hundreds Of thousands Of stockholders
would seek means to resk vengeance
on the individuals and political party
that had been the cause Of their loss.
One Of the first acts Of the receivers
would be to apply for court order re-.
ducing wages Of employees to q point
conforming with the ability Of the roads
to paYe Snch an order would make en-.
em,es Of the men it effected. They
would promptly forget the raise in pay
granted them BY the Administration,
and think only Of the reduction forced
upon them by the relinquishment 81 the
roads By tho Government. The officials
