RECOMMENDS
RAIL ACT CHANGES.
Amendment to Permit Payment
Of Money Held by v. S. Among
Those Suggested
WANTS BRIBERY STOPPED
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 9.-Immediate
payment 60 the railroads Of sums due
them under the guaranty provisions of
the transportation act, but withheld
under the ruling of the comptroller OF
the treasury, was declared by the In &.
terstate Commerce Commission in It's
annual report today to be vital In
order that the carriers may properly
serve the public" The commission rec.
commended that Congress amend the rail {.
road act to permit the release and pay
ment to the roads Of the money thus
tied up.
The commission said that in most
cases il could now determine amounts
or parts of amounts due the carriers. "
but that it's certifcatious Of these sums
to the treasury could not be honored
by the treasury since the comptroller
had ruled that such applications for
advances must have been granted prior
to September l. The commission be.
lieves II should be authorized to make
reasonable estimates to alleviate tn,
difficulties confronting many carriers IN
meeting operating expenses, fxe,i
charges, etc.
The years rail operations have de.
veloped the need of several other
changes In laws. the commission said.
II urged Congress to amend the Inter
state Commerce act to provide for the
punishment of any person Offering or
giving to an employc of carrier sub.
ject to the act any money or thing OF
value with intent to influence his ac-
tion or decision with respect to car
service. and also to provide for the pun
ishmcnt of the guilty employe,"
Appropriate legislation governing the
transportation Of explosives was asked.
as were changes In laws affecting the
awarding of reparations for damage
which, the commission held, should BE-
matter entirely for the adjudication
of courts.
The menace of wooden passenger
coaches was set forth as another sub e.
jeCt for legislative action. the commits.
sion urging that the roads be compelled
to use steel cars in all passenger train
service and prohibited from using
wooden cars between or in front of'stecl
coaches.
Referring to the question of bribery
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-12-09
railroad employees, the commission

Of railroad employees, the commission
said:
"As a result OF the inadequscy Of
the car supply and Of railroad transpor.
tation facilities generally during the
last year, practice has grown up
among shippers Of bribing operating EN-.
ploycs Of railroad companies In order
TO obtain transportation services. The
demoralizing effects Of this practice are
fnr reaching. Bribery Of this character
In many instances cannot be directly
and effectively reached under existing
laws -
On the subject of equipment supply,
shortage could be minimised by car con :
servation and increased efficiency, the
only permanent solution was substantial
additions to equipment.
Despite the shortage of equipment the
commission showed that the volume Of
freight carried during the first seven
months of 1920 exceeded by Ill per
cent the freight traffic for the CORE.
spending period In 1910. Freight traffic
as whole for the last seven months
also was said by the commission to be
in excess Of that Of the entire year Of
1919.
While the traffic has increased, the
commission's figures show, the net
operating income has suffered a con
tinuous decline since 1917. The COM
mission attributed this to heavier main.
tenance costs In which war taxation
figured.
The commissions accident table dis
closes that 6495 persons were killed by
trains or in train service accidents
during the year Of 1910. OF these, 1894,
or more than q per cent, met death In
grade. crossing accidents.

said, ito Impose a tax Of about rs Der
cent on the difference between what a
corporation actually earns and what Il
distributes to It's stockholders"
In opening the convention Chairman
Fred A. Howland, Of Montpelier, VT,
said that the volume Of life insurance
ii force In American companies far
exceeds that In oil other companies Of
all other countries. ''It may fairly
be claimed" he said, that sociolos
ically life insurance represents the
greatest contribution that the genius
and enterprise Of America have thus
far made to the civilizing forces Of the
world, and It's possibilities are limit
