McADOO ON RAILROADS

Freight routing by the direct tensye fashion, employment of terminals many other things to sound system transportation only De obtained under unified management.
 Mr McAdoo makes clear the extent which the railroads had broken down at the time when the war began he hbts with precision the serevce which the government was able b get out of the properties after few months unffc ton.
 Wages were raised, unacceptable necessity Of mes which competition could not have avoided The price of coal increased by millions of dollars In every direction oper aon of the lines expensive Yet the increased
 freight rates promise annual surplus of hundred millions of dollars and Mr. McAdoo expects shortly may be reduced.
 In in peace the function railroads is to move goods from place to another The system that made the railroads stronger war; will make them stronger peace arguments worthy of discussion be adduced that the transportation lines which the veins and eries of nation be we'll operated multitude fragments.

Oppose Government Operating Railroads

regional directors, or Federal manag- CTS, the current of traffic has in some instances been materially changed. and financial complications exist. Comparatively few contracts for com pensation have been perfected UO. tween the transportation companies and the government.
 Our expression in favor of return to private ownership and operation is, therefore, not to be understood as fla voring a return of the properties in a preeIpitate way. A reasonable per- iod of readjustment or preparation should be afforded and reasonable no- tice should be given that upon given date the properties will be restored to their owners.
 "Manifestly, from a social stand point as well as from the standpoint of the nature of the employment and because of the great importance to the public as well as to the railroads of loyal and devoted service on part of the employees, the railroad em- ployes should be adequately com pensated.'
 The commission then set forth rec commentators for legislative action,
 First, said the statement, there should be revision of limitations upon united or cooperative activities among common carriers by rail and by water" Supporting this sugges- ton, the commission said: Obviously competition between carriers that is wasteful CT unneces- sarily expensive lays an added bur den upon the rate payers. Elimina- ton of wasteful or unduly expensive competition in rates or service is de- sirable."
 Railroads should be permitted to merge and consolidate after thorough investigation and hearing and only by sanction of the governmental regulat- ing body, the commission says, and this tribunal should have authority to prescribe both maximum and min l imum rates.

Interstate Commerce Com mission Strongly Against
 Plan. EXPRESS VIEW TO SENATE COMMITTEE In Favor of Return to Pri- vate Ownership in Req
 sonable Time.

Washington, Jan. 7-Opposi- ton to government ownership or operation of railroads at this time was expressed today by the Interstate Commerce Commission, in a statement presented to the Senate Inter- state Committee at its hearing On railway legislation by Com missioner Edgar E. Clark.
 Considering and weighing as best we can all of the arguments for and against the different pIans,' said the statement we are led to the con viction that with the adoption of ap- propriate provisions and safeguards for regulations under private owner ship, it would not be wise or best at this time to assume government own ership or operation of the railways of the country.
 The commission declared, how ever, that "a reasonable period of re-
  be allowed before relinquishment of Federal control. Tt seems obvious, ? said the statement, that no plan of private ownership should be consid- cred unless it is under a broadened, extended and amplified government regulation
 Commissioner Woolley dissented from the recommendation against continuation of government control and advocated adoption of Director General McAdoo's suggestion for ex- tension of Federal management. The commission presented a detail | ed program of proposed legislation ir case railroads are returned to privat5 management, providing for strict reg | ulation by the government of rates services, finances, security issues and pooling of facilities and clarlication o. doubtful relationship between Federal , and State authorities.
 | Supporting the argument for return | of railroads to private management the commissions statement says: | "The law provides for Federal con- trol shall not continue beyond twen- ty-one months after the promulgatior of treaty of peace.
