New-York tribune., 1919-08-08

no additional legislation is necessary
to meet the present situation. The
committee voiced it's disapproval of the
Presidents proposal that Congress ere
ate special wage board to deal with
the emergency.
"The committee" wrote Chairman
Cummlns, recognizes the gravity of
cooperate with you in bringing about
the proper solution of the difficult
problems which confront the country
1t feels, however, that Congress has al
ready given you complete and plenary
authority to deal with the existing sit
uation and that additional legislation
at this time can add nothing whatever
to your power in the premises.
"The Director General can fix the
transportation service, and it seems
to be clear that it is for him to saw
whether the compensation of these men
should or should not be increased. He
has all the available information which
can possibly be secured and it is the
view. OF the committee that he should
act IN accordance with the public in
terest and his own Judgment. He can
be advised upon the subject by any
BOARD or tribunal which you may select
Tor that purpose.
Also

Transportation. and can advance or
lower them, as he may think neces-
safy or wise, to meet the requirements
OF the transportation systems in his
chafge; and, moreover, he can put the
new rates into effect whenever, in his
judgment, they should become effective.
~ the present time the Interstate
commerce Commission has not the au-
Il
approval the rates initiated by the Di-
rector General; but even if the act
whlch lately passed the Senate and
"hlch has not yet passed the House
snall become law and the authority
OF the interstate Commerce Commits
sion to suspend rates be restored it
VIII still be true that Director General
must initiate the rates, and it is en-
tlrely impossible to believe that the
commission would suspend rates that
are necessary in order to pay any in
creased wages of railway operatives.
The committee is now diligently en-
gagged IN the preparation of a bill for
the general reorganization of our svs-
tenn OF regulation and control. One
common phase of the many plans which
nave been submitted relates to the
further direction which ought to be
given to the Interstate Commerce Com
MISSION for its gudanco II determin-
ing the reasonableness of rates. Upon
that phase of the subject diverse opin-
ions have been developed, and it is
thought to be unwise to bring forward
for action by Congress any further
legislation in that respect until it can
be associated with the general plan
oil reorganization.
"lf the committee felt that there
was any lack of power on your part

it would be quick to act. but, inasmuch
as it can perceive no want of authority
