URGE CONGRESS TO
PAY RAILROADS
UNDER GUARANTY
Roads Gravely Handi-
capped by Money Held
Back; Bribery of En-
ployes New Menace in
transportation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Immed-
late payment to the railroads of sums
due them under the guaranty proyi-
sions OF the transportation act but
withheld under the ruling of tho
comptroller OF the treasury was de-
clarcd by the interstate commerce
commission in its annual report to-
day TO be vital in order that the
carriers may properly serve the pub
lic." The commission recommended
that congress mend the railroad act
to permit the release n payment to
h roads OF the money thus tied UP,
Many Of the roads are greatly hand
icapped because Of their inability to
collect the guaranty, the commission
said. Although advances against the
anticipated deficit were made in
scores Of instances, the report said,
some Of the roads made no applica-
ton for aid prior to September 1 and
as a result they are estopped from
claiming oven "A portion OF moneys
Justly due them" until tho mcchnn-
lcal work Of completing their audit
for the entire guaranty period car bo
accomplished.
The commission said that In most
cases II could now determine
amount or parts of amounts duo the
carriers" but that its c-ertificatiOns
of these sums TO. the treasury could
not he honored by the treasury since
the comptroller had ruled that such
applications for advances must have
been granted prior to September l..
The commission believed it should be
authorized TO mako reasonable esti-
mates" 10 alleviate the difficulties
confronting many carriers In meeting
operating expenses, fixed charges, etc.
Tho years rail operations have de-
velopcd the need Of several other
changes in laws, the commission saic.
II urged congress to amend the inter-
state commerce act TO provide Tor tho
punishment OF any person offering
or giving TO an employc Of a carrier
subject to the act amy money or thing
Of value with intent to influence his
action or decision with respect to car
service and also to provide for tho
punishment Of tho guilty employc."
Appropriate legislation governing
tho transportation Of explosives was
asked as were changes In laws affect
ing the awarding OF reparations for
damages which. the commission held,
should be a matter entirely for the
adjudication OF courts

from using wooden cars between or

In order to obtain transportation SER
Vices. The dcmoralizlng effects OF
this practice arc far-rcaching. Brlb-
cry of this character in many In
stances can not be directly and cf-
fcctively reached under existing
laws
on the subject Of equipment sup
ply, the commission declared that
while the shortage could be minim-
lied by car conservation and increas-
ed efficiency, he only permanent So
luton was substantial additions to
equipment. The latest general sta
tistics Of the commission showed that
the railroads undor It's Jurisdiction
owned approximately 2,36S, $40
freight airs while an additional 14O,-
600 cars were Owned privately. The
freight cars were divided AS follows:
l,0d2,S30 box cars, l,OO9,S75 open top
cars, 1O7,S2O flat cars, $4,000 stock
cars. $4,000 refrigerator cars and
$4,000 cars OF miscellaneous types.
Despite the shortage of equipment
enumerated by the commission IL
showed that the volume Of freight
carried during the first sevcn months
Of 1890 exceeded by III percent the
freight traffic FOR the corresponding
period of 1919. Freight traffic as a
whole for the last seven months also
was said by the commission to be
IN excess Of that Of the entire year Of
1919.
u While the traffic has increased, the
commissions figures show. the net
operating income has suffered a som
tinuous decline Since 1917. The COM
mission attributed this to heavier
maintenance costs in which war tax
alton figured. incomplete statistics,
however, made It impossible FOR the
commission To offer accurate COM
parison between tho years 1917 and
1920, and It made no attempt to csti~
mate the figures for n portion Of
the year.

killed by trains or In train service
accidents during tho year 1919. or
