trol, there will be almost immeditely
 resumption of the "days of competition.'
 Corporation heads have been preparing
 for this for several months. The various
 roads will attempt to divide again the
 business which has ben handled jointly
 during federal control, reports indicated.
 The reads go back to private control
 under largely new conditions. The rail-
 road bill, signed last night by the Presi-

 interstate commerce commission both in

This difficulty has been swept aside to some extent, for l the roads can obtain loans from the gov l ernment in these days of strained credit 1 it was explained. The interstate com merce commission also is bound by law l to consider the roads financial status in rate-making so the properties may al ways stand on a solid base
