Hines Asserts Higher
Rates Are Ir,evituble
Asks Editors to Study Carefully
% The Problem Of Roads Under
Pirate Control

WASHINGTON. Feb 3. Warning
that immediate consideration of rates
TO sustain the credit of the companies
would be inevitable on return of the
railroads to private control is given in
a statement tonight by Director Cen
eral Hines addressed to newspaper
editors of the country, of whom he
asked careful study of the railroad
problem.
Mr.. Hines strongly defends the ac-
tion of tha railroad administration
whether under his or his predecessor RS
direction, in making rate increases. in
raising the pay of the rail employees,
and in dealing with other questions
which have been vital to railroad oper-
alton.
As to The deficit resulting from oper-
alton Of the roads, Mr.. Hines asserts
there was no possible means Of avoid
ing it, 1t would not have been as
large had rate increases been made
earlier in Federal control, the Director
General believes, but since the rate in
creases were not made. it has been
merely qustion of making good the
deficit by general taxation.
The entire average increase in
freight and passenger rates from 1914
to 1919 is placed by Mr.. Hines at 33
per cent. In comparison with increases
IN prices of commodities and products
OF private enterprises ranging from so
tc 150 per cent

Sims's Criticism Of Wilson.
The letter written by Admiral Sim
to Secretary Daniels criticizing Al
miral Wilson was dated January Is
1919, and read in part as s9llows:
ut is rumored that it is the inten-
ton OF the department 20 assign Adj
nlral Wilson to the comm nd of the
fleet. In my opinion this would be q
very grave mistake, indeed. You ar.
doubtless aware, through nv letters tc

bic which Admiral Wilson gave me in

Benson, explaining to him that hoped
to be able 10 correct ttis uNsatisfactor,

"Ihe unsatisfactory feature com
plained of was that Admiral Wilson
criticized not only this organization
but me personally in more or less
violent terms, which included that
most destructive of all criticisms
namely, the impugning Of motives.

Mondell Urges
Delay OH Army
Training g Bill
Would Defer Decision on
Adoption of System Until
Nation Is in Stronger
L inanc ial Condition
Neac York Tribune
Wu.shiuOtOu Bureau

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.--Republcan
Floor Leader Mondell returned to his
attack upon universal military training
with q speech in the House to-day de-
ciaring that since nobody wishes to put
the system in operation at this time
the matter should be deferred until the
nation finds itself in better financial
condition. In arguing against military
training Mr.. Mondell said it would cost
and that added to the 100000, 900
which the regular military establish
ment will cost under the Senate army
bill would make a total of more than
the entire average annual Federal eX-
pendltures for all purposes prior to the
European war.
AT time when we are facing a
deficit of nearly $4,000, 0,O00,OOO,' said
Mr.. Mondell, "such expenditures are.
OF course, unthinkable. AS no one an
ticipates putting any kind of train
ing system into operation at this time
there is no reason why the matter
should be decided one way or the
other until we find ourselves in better
financial condition."
The floor leader denied the assertion
he said he has heard made that uni
versal military training would reduce
the regular military establishment and
thus bring about economies which
would largely offest its cost.
The fact is he declared, "that the
adoption of system of universal COM
pulsory military training of the youth
of the land would not in and of Itself
make possible any appreciable reduc-
ton OF the regular military establish
ment. Its tendency would rather be to
necessitate an increase in that estab-
hshment, and the facts that lead to
this conclusion are so clear and ap-
parent that there is very little ground
for any difference of opinion"

Deadlock on
Rail Bills in
Congress Ends
Senate Conferees Agree to
Elimination of Compul-
sorry Consolidation and
transportation Board
Anti-Strike Clause Vexes
Labor Question Remains To
Be Settled; Further Com
promises Are Looked For

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Senate and
House conferees on railroad reorgani-
zatjon legis lation, after deadlock for
weeks over outstanding features of the
Cummins and Esch bills. tonight saw
giimmer of light ahead. The Joint
committee of the two houses made
marked progress at to-day's session
through agreement of the Senate mem
hers for elimination of the compulsory
consolidation of railroads and estab-
hshment Of a sportation board pro-
visions from the Cummins measure
Several vexing differences, however,
remain to be adjusted before the end
of the month, when the railroad prop
critics are to be returned to private
control and operation. Chief of these
are the labor and anti-strike provisions
of the Senate measure. The agreement
to-day It was said, might make more
passable the way for further compro
misses.
y. In eliminating the consolidation plan
Of the Cummns bill it was agree d
that tire permissive consolidation pro-
visions Of the Esch bill would be re-
tanned and strengthened. Duties which
the Senate gave TO the proposed trans
portation board under the agreement
will be placed in the Interstate Com
merce Commission. which will have
two members added to its present
strength.
Following the two agreements the
conferees took up the long and short
haul provisions of the Senate bill, max
ing it impossible for railroads to make
smaller freight charge for a long
haul than for sort haul over the
same route. Adjournment. however,
was taken until tomorrow without an
ACRE ement being reached
