was supposed to appear a committee
from the Friendship Co, and furnish
information of definite nature as TO the
plans and purposes Of that company for
the future. But the committee failed
to show up.
As the present suuabble arose over the
apparently authentic report that It is
the intention OF the Friendship Co. To

crty at the expiration of its contract with
the city, tho meeting last night adjourned
until tonight to give the Friendship Go.

Washington, May S-Chances yester-
day appeared against further legislation
by Congress granting financial assistance
10 the railroads through a Government
loan and increase in the revolving fund
authorized IN the Cummins-Esch bill
Chairman Cummins of the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee, said, fol-
lowing a hearing yesterday Of various
New York bankers, that he was opposed
to the requested additional appropriation
Of $50o,000, 600 He said the carriers
should go into the financial centers and
borrow money for their needs.
That the railroads need large Sums for
equipment Chairman Cummins admitted,
but he thinks the government has gone
far enough in making loans. Testimony
Of the bankers yesterday, he said, showed
that, while the roads might not be able TO
borrow all the money needed estimated
at S6l0. 900, 600 thcy should be able to
20 into the money market and obtain
about All they can spend during the next
year at an interest rate of or ~ per
cent
The revolving fund Of $500, 600 900.
Chairman Cummins suggested, may be
used 10 help out the weaker roads, while
the larger carriers. with better avenues
of credit, may obtain loans from bankers
and others
That the government. facing great
Treasury deficit and besicged with pro-
tests against further taxation, cannot
afford TO advance a half billion addi-
tional to the common carriers is sand to
nc the attitude Of other influential MEM
bers Of Congress.
| Senator Cummins said il was true at
least hundred thousand new freight
cars are needed by the country's rail-
roads but he thinks they may borrow
enough to purchase all the equipment
which can be made during the next year
