CuyIer Issues Statement.

THE railway executives discussed with
the members OF the law committee OF
the association the various proposals
that have been made for the new raft
road legislation that II will be necessary
to enact before the Government relin-
quishes war control OF the carriera
There Is undoubtedly a very general
demand over the country for an early
return OF the roads to their owners, but
or course. as has been pointed out by
the President, by tho Director General
OF Railroads and by leading members
OF Congress, II would be a disservice
to the country to return the roads to
their Arrangements without correcting
the recognized evils In the system of
railway regulation We had prior to the
war.
1.-THE Embellishments In the old
system OF regulation were seriously
obstructing the free development Of
transportation facilities. and It Is I'M
thinkable that the country would con-
sent to return of the roads to their
owners before insurance had been pro-
vided for the future by a thorough revi-
sion OF the act to regulate commerce.
The country is now In such general
agreement rs to the basic principles of
remedial railroad legislation that the
work or Congress ought to be COM
paratively easy.
THE association also discussed the
working out OF the problem OF allocat-
ing and financing the several hundred
million dollars worth OF new cars and
locomotives purchased by the Govern
ment for the use OF the roads. The
proposal has been made that the financ-
ing OF this large amount OF equipment
would be greatly simplifed by a single
general issue Of equipment trust obliga-
curitIes issued by each OF the roads,
Conferences are being held between the
association and the Railroad Admins
tration for the equitable working out OF
this problem, and It 10 hoped that an
agreement will soon be reached"

ALLEGATION Problem Unsettled.

The meeting yesterday failed to settle
the ALLEGATION difficulties, the matter be-
ing left to the individual roads for ne
gotiation with the Railroad Aiministra-
uon. There was some discussion, but a
fruitless one, regarding possibilities of
return Of the roads to private opera
ton. some setting the date at january
1 and others at July 1, 1920,
In the discussion Of the prospect for
remedial legislation II was the con-
sensus of obinion that the country is
In such general agreement as to the
Dasic principles of remedial legislation
that the work OF Congress ought to be
comparatively easy. Albert z. Cum

 CONSIDERATION
 TO NEWCOMERS
Carranza Commission Is Studying Care of
 Immigrants.

Mexico City, Aug. IS. - tCorres- pondence of The Associated Press).- How to make homes for a million prospective new colonists, how to make these persons fit into the scheme of life here and how best to distribute them over the republic are questions of immigration receiving the attention of special commission appointed by President Carranza.
 According to data collected by this Committee on Articles of First Neces- sity one million persons will migrate from various European and Asiatic countries to Mexico, within the next year. They are expected to leave their native lands because of disrupt ed conditions due to the war. Com munications received here from Eng land, France, Germany and Russia indicate that colonies of those na- tionals are already being formed and will embark for Mexico at an oppor- tune moment.
 Luis Luderty Rul, president of the Investigating committee, has been quoted as saying that Mexico wei comes all dependable colonists
 The committee has made no an nouncement as to the location of the various colonies; whether they are to receive grants of land or are to be assimilated among the natives It is believed, however, that there is suf- fbcient undeveloped land in the re- public to accommodate all the home seekers and that equitable distribu- ton will be made as occasion de- mandA
 Lower California at present appears tc be the goal of a large number of repatriated Mexicans who for the past few years have been living in the United States. Fl Democrata asserts that within the next few months 5000 new Mexican families will be established there.
