EXCESS EARNINGS NEEDED,
 DECLARES HINES
Return of Roads Will Be Wholly Dis appointing Unless Problem Is Dealt With in Bold, Ef-
 fective Way
By Associated Press

Louisville, Ky, January 29.-Walker D. Hines, director general of railroads, in an address before the Transportation Club here tonight, urged the necessity of division of excess earnings of rail- road corporations above reasonable re- turn in order to protect the public against excess earnings of very prosperous rail- roads and in order to insure a fair re- tun to all railroads.
 Those who oppose this plan seem to assume that it will operate as a discour- agement upon private capital" said MT. Hines. They seem to assume that II this plan is not adopted there will be no Encouragement on private capital, but they should remember the discourage ments which have existed heretofore. The real question is whether plan shall be adopted which will both protect the pub lie interest and reasonably protect pri- vate capital or whether on the other hand a plan shall be adopted which will fall to do either with any degree of sat- isfaction."
 MT Hines declared his belief that un- less the railroad problem at the present time is dealt with fin bold and eff fective way the return to private man. agement after federal control will be wholly disappointing
 The director general also urged the compulsory consolidation of the railroad systems of the country into few large systems and suggested the participation of the public and labor in the manage ment of the railroads.

He also explained that the clause had been stricken out three years later because the I. w. W. element was no longer enrolled in the party and sabo- tage was "a dead issue"
 Algernon Lee of New York, treasurer of the socialist state committee, another witness, also asserted the clause had been dropped. mot because it had become a dead letter, but because the issue which mad led up to it's inclusion was no longer an issue
 Frank Wasserman, New York lawyer testified that in public debate with him Assemblyman August Claessens, de- fendant. had termed the federal consti- tuition "a scrap of paper and had as- serted when socialism came it would take instruments of production by force"
