Billion Dollars Needed
Greatest Handicap Is Lack
of Means to Finance Many
Needed Betterments

WASHINGTON, May 11-"Less sat
isfactory" transportation service for
months to come, than during Federal
control was forecast tonight by Di-
rector General Hines. He made what
he termed "valedictory comments" on
the general railroad situation before
the National Press Club. He counselled
pubic patience and cooperation by the
corporate owners and public. Without
these, he said, the prospect of success
full restoration of adequate service
would be materially lessened.
Mr. Hines plans to retire as di.
recor general next week, and there
1ore' ne SAID, he could speak with "a
reasonable degree of detachment" with
respect to railroad problems.
Inc principal problem is the broad
question of financing, Mr.. Hines said
he estimated the annual needs of tho
roads "conservatively" at 81 ,OOO, 900 ,OOO
Tor new equipment, extension of fa
c'litles and general rehabilitation.
Rates Not Properly Fixed
Need OF rate structure which would
put the roads on self-sustainino o
oasis was declared of supreme i'm
portance" '"'
with an enormous volume of busi
ness being insistcntly offered fo1
transsportati Mr.. Hines continued
with a long suspension Of the norma

with continued hesitation in maxine
beginnings in that direction, and WITH

tent, of unified practices which pre-
vailed during Federal control. the NH.

General Strike Feared
Members of the Merchants Associa-
tion. the New York State Chamber of
Commerce and other organizations that
nave banded together to break the
treight tie-up here say they are pre-
nared for any eventuality, intimating
they would not be surprised if the
union truckmen retaliated with q gen.
eral strike order.
The latter have already set forth
in resolutions that the employment of
non-urion truckmen in the manner con-
templated by the business men would
cause walk-out of the 10000 truck
drivers. MIR. Lincoln said one bust
ness man, who has been using non
union drivers to move his goods from
piers, has been notified that none of
bis goods would be handled by union
;ruckmen.
The general freight congestion in
tire harbor was taken up by the Ship
pers> Association at a meeting in the
rooms Of tie Merchants Association
yesterday Mr.. Lincoln told the ship
pers that the real truth regarding the
situation on the railroads was not be-
ing made public and if all the facts
we're known the public would be
aroused TO take steps to move the
freight. The shippers appointed a
committee of six to acI with the other
commercial bodies.
The rice dealers continued their eff
forts TO bring about an understanding
with the longshoremen and truckne r
so that they could move stocks of rice
valued at several million dollars. Johr

obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; If you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach or you have
rheumatism when the weather is bad,
get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts: take a
tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and
YOUR kidneys will then act fine.

acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bned with lithia, and has been used
