Return of Railroads
To Private Ownership

Washington The president has
ordered the return of the railroads TO
their owners on March l next. The
transfer will include terminals, sleep
ing and parlor cars, private cars,
elevators, warehouses, telegraph and
telephone lines and all other equip
ment used upon or operated as part
of such railroads.
The law permits the president to
hold the railroads for 81 months after
the proclamation of peace. The A. F.
of L., railroad brotherhoods and vari-
Gus farmers organizations petitioned
the president to hold the railroads for
at least two years after January l,
1920, that government operation of
these properties might be given
fair test under normal conditions.
The presidents proclamation finds
the wage demands of the railroad en-
ployes in a complicated state. A
year ago the shop employees asked
for substantial increases. Last August
the president awarded the shop men
a per cent increase and suggested
tc these workers that the government
be given a reasonable time to dem
onstrate that it's policy to reduce the
high cost of living would prove ef-
fective.
At that time the president said:
at goes without saying that if our
effort to bring the cost Of living down
should fail, after we have had time
enough to establish either success or
failure, it will of course be necessary
to accept the higher costs of living
as a permanent basis of adjustment.
and railway wage should be read
justed along with the rest"
The shop men are now insisting
that living costs have not been re-
duced, and conference will be held
with officials of the railroad admins
tration. 1t is possible that the wage
question raised by shop men and
other employees will not be adjusted
before March /.
