MI. prouty on the Railroads.

Charles A Proutys address on the
railroad problem before the associated
industries Of Massachusetts had been
awaited with much interest. which was
rewarded by the strength
and thoughtfulness and devotion TO the
public welfare embodied in Mr. Prou-
tvs remarks Mr.. Prouty candidly eX-
pressed a belief that private operation
of the railroads would fail, but he
stood for giving il fair trial. II Is
interesting to note his iusistence upon
the limitations OF earnings proposed by
the Cummins bill While he advocates
return of per cent on the value to
be fixed by the interstate commerce
commission, instead Of 81, as provided
BY the bill, he does so because Of the
high money rates now prevailing and
the increased returns from all kinds Of
property, compared with a few years
ago.
With the railroad which is looking for
a chance to profiteer. Mr. Prouty has
no sympathy, He speaks Of Mr.. Low
cit insisting that his Union Pacific may
prey ad libitum upon the people Of the
country. But. of course, there are
other executives who will be satisfied

living and expand in accordance with

the requirements OF business. Mr.
Prouty makes an equally strong argu-
ment for the anti-strike provision Of
the Cummins bill He holds that the
control Of capital on the
railroads is now 80 widely extended
that there would be no injustice in
exerting control over labor in the pub
lie interest. But it is doubtful wheth'
er Congress will take the responsibility
for a statutory prohibition OF strikes
while the present private corporations
remain the owners Of the properties
While Mr. Prouty's suggestions re.
garding cancellations and rates Tor
the New England railroads will per
haps be received with greatest interest,
his opinions about government opera
