Equipment Needs of Carriers
To Be Met.

WASHINGTON. May 2l,--Temporary
disposition of the s300. 600 600 revolving
funds, provided by the transportation
act for relief OF railroads was made to-
day in orders issued by the interstate
commerce commission which at the
same time took steps TO meet future
equipment needs of the carriers by
proposing organization OF an equip
ment corporation With capital stock
OF $500, 900 200.
Recent suggestions Of the association
Of railway executives were followed
closely In apportioning the funds, but
the commission confronted the rail-
roads with the necessity of making
the largest possible contributions" to
meet the sums advanced by the gov
ernment
The commission said II would not
follow any arbitrary method of allocat-
ing the money but would attempt 10
divide II so the whole country would
benefit by improved transportation
service.
As to the equipment trust. the com
mission proposed that the roads should
take stock In II equaling 25 per cent
OF the cost Of tito equipment with
money advanced by the government up
to Sf25.000.000. The remaining Is per
cent would be financed through trusts
placed on equipment to be built.
