shington.-America's rail trans
portatiOn systems, operated as one
great public utility since December %,
1917, were once more divided among
their 230 respective corporate owners
when the government released control
March 1. Director General Hines, as
the agent of the President, handed
over the properties and equipment,
valued at approximately $20,0O0,OOO,-
900, to their old direction, free, except
for the jurisdiction retained by the
government in the new railroad reor-
ganiZation bill.
Director General of Railroads Hines,
in a report transmitted to President
Wilson, emphatically denies the asser-
ton made by various railroad execu-
tives that the roads are going back to
private control in a broken-dOwn con-
dition.
Outstanding features of the report
are assertions by Mr.. Hines that:
1. Government control has cost less
than operation of the roads under pri-
vate control.
2. Had it been practicable to in
crease rates on January 1, 1918, in
stead of six months later there would
have been no deficit or loss whatever
up to and including the end of Octo-
Der, 1919. The actual loss is placed
at $3.50, 100000. .,
8. The apparent deficit will be a
relatively small amount and will fall
far short of the reported deficit of
$7OO,OOO,OOO.
f. Approximately $1,2O0,0OO,00O has
been expended in the period of fed
eral control for improvements to prop
critics.
5. In compliance with contractual
obligations the roads will be returned
| in as good shape as when taken over.
The roads go back to private control
under largely new conditions. The
railroad bill, signed by the President,
| gives the system certain new priv
| ileges, but as an offset it enlarges the
Interstate Commerce Commission, both
in power and personnel. The corpora
| tions no longer are master complete
| ly of their bond issues, nor are they
allowed to stand solidly against labor.

F|UME BLOCKADE IS
ORDERED BY ITALY
Former Annexationists Want In
ternationaIizing With British
or American Garrison.

Fiume.-A siege of Fiume has begun
with stringest blockade against COM
modities, including foodstuffs.
Perhaps we may appear to be len1-
ent toward those occupying Fiume,"
said General Caviglia of the govern
ment forces, "but it is not so. We shall
exercise an iron blockade against the
forces of Gabrielle d'Annunzio.
II am not offering them the slightest
atom, but the children must be cared
for. That is why I allowed 200 chill
dren to come out of Fiume ant pro-
ceed to Milan"
